Manny Pacquiao Files Cross-Complaint Against Paradigm Sports for Falsely Promising a Conor McGregor Fight
Follow Us
Manny Pacquiao has reportedly filed a cross-complaint against Audie Attar’s Paradigm Sports Management. This comes after the agency first registered a complaint against “The People’s Champ” as they wanted him to face Mikey Garcia on his return.
However, Pacquiao picked Errol Spence Jr from PBC as his next opponent following a multi-fight deal with DAZN. This provoked Paradigm to pursue a $3.3 million suit against the Filipino Senator.

Pacquiao’s official complaint states, “In reality, PSM never intended to arrange a bout between Pacquiao and McGregor. PSM never secured any of the many endorsement deals it claimed were ‘lined up.’ And PSM never intended to advance the full USD $4 million to Pacquiao.”
Manny Pacquiao is willing to prove himself in court

Besides these claims of PSM not meeting contractual obligations, Pacquiao’s suit also slams Conor McGregor’s agency for external under-the-table deals.
During negotiations with the eight-division champion last year, PSM already had contractual agreements with his business manager, Arnold Vegafria.
The suit mentioned that this is yet another incident of “unscrupulous” managers prioritizing their own interests over their clients.
