A recent legal decision saw Manny Pacquiao winning a case where a judge reversed a previous ruling against him in a lawsuit brought by Paradigm Sports Management. The agency, known for representing UFC star Conor McGregor, accused Pacquiao of violating their contract by engaging others to negotiate fight deals on his behalf instead of using Paradigm’s services as per the agreement. However, the judge invalidated the contract due to Paradigm not possessing the required management license at the time of signing. As a result, the original $5.1 million awarded to Paradigm by the jury was nullified, relieving Pacquiao of any financial obligations.
Pacquiao’s lawyer expressed appreciation for the court’s decision and acknowledged the support received from fans during the legal battle. Furthermore, the ruling spared Pacquiao from being obligated to pay Paradigm an amount exceeding $8 million, inclusive of legal fees.
