Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Paradigm Sports Lawsuit Against Me Has No Merit

[aaronbnb]

Seemed like a dumb move to even sign with paradigm

it wasn't a dumb move if it meant he would get the McGregor fight. Manny wanted an easy payday. Somehow lol he ended up with probably the toughest fight of his career - given his age, Spence's size/skill.

I don't know. Perhaps he is broke. We will never know. However, what I do know that this lawsuit is not a good look for his PR image.

Manny isn't broke. He just has a big tax bill in the US that he doesn't want to pay. He takes these fights in US and then never settles up with the IRS, leaving the next promoter to clean up that situation for him.

On the other thread Pac is giving Floyd crap for the circus fights but is being sued for taking a 3 million dollar advance hoping for a McGregor fight.... you cant make this stuff up.

And everyone is ignoring it lol they skipped rite over this thread

it's not a good look for his PR image? like he wasnt being accused of and still is of being on peds... that didnt "hurt" his image one bit.

There was never any proof that Pac used performance enhancing drugs. It was all slander and a smear campaign in order to discredit him by people who were both envious and jealous of his success.

However in this case, Paradigm is seeking a legal remedy against him in the form of a court in injunction for breach of contract in a court of law. That is of course, if Al Haymon along with Pac's team can come up and reach an out of court settlement with this company to make this case go away.

Dan Rafael had several excerpts from the lawsuit in his email newsletter and either its bull**** or Manny's managers have been incredibly unethical. Supposedly they signed several agreements to stop dealing with promoters and kept doing it anyway. I'm sure there's some amount of money that would make this go away but its probably a lot more than the $3M Paradigm advanced Manny.

This is his manager. Nothing ethical about him. Probably one of the worst person in boxing after Conte.

Remember that Pac is also running for President of the Phillipines. So you cannot tell me that a case like this can help his political reputation and aspirations.

No, I heard his tax troubles were actually with the Filipino government. Who was withholding his purses with their Bureau Internal Revenue for failure to pay back taxes owed from 2008 and 2009 for fights he fought in the U.S.

Yeah he has trouble with both govt. Manny ain't afraid of making a mess. He don't pay taxes and if you offer him money, he'll take it no matter what he's signed.
