MANILA, Philippines — Senator Manny Pacquiao shrugged off the breach of contract lawsuit filed against him, saying it “has no merit” and “intends to distract” his preparations for his bout with Errol Spence Jr.
“Paradigm Sports’ lawsuit against me has no merit. Under the agreement with Paradigm, I have an absolute right to engage in the upcoming bout with Errol Spence. Sadly, this frivolous lawsuit intends to distract my preparations for a historic fight,” Pacquiao said in a statement Monday.
“But it does not bother me a bit. My lawyers are on top of this lawsuit and are ready to file counter charges against Paradigm Sports,” he added.
