Paradigm Sports CEO Audie Attar says his combat sports agency will “cut off 100 per cent” of Manny Pacquiao’s opportunities to earn money in the United States “once we win” at trial.

The case will go to trial in Orange County, California, on March 3.
Paradigm, which also manages UFC superstar Conor Mcgregor, alleges that Pacquiao violated the firm’s exclusive rights to promote his fights, with the 44-year-old engaging in bouts outside their deal.
“Manny’s days of thumbing his nose at our contractual rights are almost at an end,” Paradigm founder Attar said in a statement. “We have an overwhelming case against him and look forward to justice being served.
