Paradigm Sports, a management team famously known for having the superstar Conor McGregor under their wing are not happy with boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. A deal that seemed worth a fortune back in 2020 has aged like milk for the Irishman’s management.
Back in 2020, Conor McGregor’s management, Paradigm Sports signed a deal with the Philippines legend who was also the front-runner for the presidential elections. The idea behind the deal was the potential matchup in boxing between the Pac-Man and Notorious One.
Paradigm Sports claim Pacquiao has been paid $3.3 million for his signing but since has violated their terms. After filing a lawsuit in 2021, Audie Attar, head of management, has now austere statements regarding this issue. “Manny’s days of thumbing his nose at our contractual rights are almost at an end,” wrote Attar in his press statement.
The manager has also warned managers and other fight promoters of working with Pacquiao before the lawsuit is settled. “Once Paradigm wins at trial in March, we will cut off 100 percent of Manny’s opportunities to earn money in the United States,” further wrote Attar in his statement.

Conor McGregor claimed he was owed commission
Back in 2021, Manny Pacquiao took on Yordenis Ugas in an amazing boxing match. This fight happened after the reported signing of the deal between the Filipino and McGregor’s management. Audie Attar is technically the manager of McGregor and has him under Paradigm Sports’ roster.
However, the Irishman and his manager are partners in several other business deals. After the fight took place between Ugas and Pacquiao, McGregor took to Twitter to let out his frustration. “I’m owed commission off that manny fight and I want it,” wrote the Irishman.
I’m owed commission off that manny fight and I want it.

The Notorious One was also eyeing a boxing match against Pacquiao after his second fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 257. However, an upset TKO defeat to ‘The Diamond’ in UFC flushed the potential boxing match down the drain.
