Powerful combat sports manager Audie Attar has filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against eight-division boxing champion Manny Pacquiao, seeking to recoup a $3.3 million advance and requesting an injunction to stop Pacquiao’s scheduled Aug. 21 welterweight title fight against Errol Spence Jr.
Attar, whose Southern California-based agency Paradigm Sports manages UFC superstar Conor McGregor, claims in the lawsuit filed in Orange County, Calif., that he was negotiating for Pacquiao to meet four-division champion Mikey Garcia.
The lawsuit alleges Pacquiao was never in obligation to fight again for PBC unless the opponent was Floyd Mayweather Jr., who defeated Pacquiao by unanimous decision in 2015 ― a bout that stands as the richest one-day sporting event in history.
Ultimately, in May, Pacquiao announced he was fighting Spence. The lawsuit alleges that the announcement came just hours after Paradigm believed Pacquiao would sign to fight Mikey Garcia, resulting in Garcia ending his brief union with Paradigm, as well.
“Pacquiao’s breaches of the agreement therefore entitle Paradigm to monetary damages (and) costs associated with this proceeding, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and … injunctive relief,” Burstein wrote.

Uh oh, did Manny just completely F up here and breach his contract with Paradigm Sports? And my goodness, 3.3M advance? This man just won't stop taking this huge advances. And at the very least, he definitely needs to pay back the 3.3M. But could the Spence fight all together fall apart here? They are pursuing injunctive relief.
lol I remember this
to make matters funnier
Oscar is manny’s hero and took him to a Beverley hills steakhouse to get the deal done
His hero but still took his bag of money and went back to Bob
Lol
I seriously think Bob claiming he already signed with him was bs
I think manny legit agreed to Oscar and then when Bob found out, he scrambled
Ppl think Bob robbed manny, I dknt think so
Bob paid manny well and even loaned him a lot of advances
Ppl just hating on uncle Bob
Now don king...... yeah keep checking for your wallet
After he took their 3.3 mil
Haymon probably gave him a bag with 3.4 mil
Then manny was like "okay"
He did the same dumb shiet with Oscar and Bob
Took Oscar money and signed with Bob
Lol
how smart he really was...
not the first time pac got sued for breach of contract, no big deal here imo

With so many fans, you'd think Pac would be swimming in money unless they don't pay to see his fights
Ahhh...got it! I'm an idiot lmao. I was reading it and thinking "I think we agree".
Much to do about nothing. We all want Pac's/Spence. I'm sure the judge want to see that fight over Pac's/ Mikey Garcia.
Just sour grapes because the didn't sign Mickey. :boxing:
Judging by how fast the fight is selling out he won’t like it but he should be able to pay that back easily
Yeah it's not much he still gets to keep 2 mill from his 5mill purse.
