“Paradigm Sports’ lawsuit against me has no merit,” Pacquiao said in a statement sent to Senate reporters.
“Sadly, this frivolous lawsuit intends to distract my preparations for a historic fight. But it does not bother me a bit,” he added.
Reports said Audie Attar, chief executive officer of Paradigm, filed a lawsuit against the boxer-turned-senator and sought a $3.3 million payment for alleged breach of contract.
