An Orange County, California, Superior Court jury awarded Paradigm Sports Management a judgement of $5.1 million against legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao after a lengthy breach of contract trial, though Pacquiao's side said the case is not over and the crux of the matter has yet to be heard.
The judgement was for $3.3 million in actual damages for money that was paid to Pacquiao by Paradigm, as well as for $1.8 million in punitive damages. Paradigm had signed Pacquiao to a contract and discussed fights with boxer Mikey Garcia and MMA star Conor McGregor with him, but neither materialized.
The motion, called a judgement of nonsuit, will be heard in June. Former MMA world champion Ronda Rousey won a case against her manager, Darin Harvey, in 2014 on a similar basis. Rousey alleged in her suit that she and Harvey did not appear in person in front of the commission to validate their contractual agreement and that the deal was invalid.
Pacquiao said his contract with Paradigm was not completed on the appropriate California State Athletic Commission forms. Pacquiao's attorneys submitted the request for judgement of nonsuit on April 20. Judge Walter P. Schwarm tabled the request and let the trial complete. After deliberations began Monday, the jury found for Paradigm on Wednesday.
