Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao is facing a multi-million dollar lawsuit for breach of contract.
The lawsuit filed by Paradigm Sports Management — the same company that represents UFC superstar Conor McGregor and UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya — filed the lawsuit in Orange County, Calif. as first reported by The Athletic.
The lawsuit seeks to recoup a $3.3 million advance payment made to Pacquiao as well as seeking an injunction to stop his upcoming bout against Errol Spence Jr. on Aug. 21.
Paradigm Sports Management, led by president Audie Attar, alleges in the lawsuit that the company was negotiating for Pacquiao to meet four-division boxing champion Mikey Garcia in his next fight after striking the deal to represent the boxer.
