Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has been ordered by a US jury to pay Paradigm Sports Management (PSM) $5.1 million following a successful civil lawsuit filed by PSM.&nbsp;
According to reports, PSM won the lawsuit against Pacquiao with a 9-3 jury verdict, accusing him of committing a breach of contract by concealing his pre-existing agreement with another promotional company, TGB Promotions.&nbsp;
The lawsuit had caused difficulties for PSM in arranging a fight for Pacquiao.&nbsp;
The monetary damages to be paid to PSM include $1.8 million in damages and $3.3 million as an advance payment given to Pacquiao.&nbsp;
Pacquiao had signed up with PSM, which represents UFC star Conor McGregor, with the aim of arranging a lucrative fight with the latter, but that never materialized.&nbsp;
Instead, Pacquiao ended up signing a different deal to face Errol Spence Jr., but Yordenis Ugas replaced him due to an injury. In 2021, Pacquiao lost to Ugas in his last professional fight.&nbsp;
During the trial, Pacquiao's attorney Bruce Cleeland claimed PSM failed to deliver on their commitments to the boxing star, but PSM questioned Pacquiao's credibility.&nbsp;
Pacquiao later participated in an exhibition fight with Korean video blogger DK Yoo in December of the same year.
