Just some update on the lawsuit against Pacquiao:
The former eight-division champion was deemed free and clear to move forward with his upcoming challenge of unified WBC/IBF welterweight titlist Errol Spence Jr. A motion filed by Paradigm Sports and its founder/combat sports manager Audie Attar to block the upcoming title fight was rejected Friday by the Orange County Superior Court. The ruling—while not outright dismissing the breach of contract lawsuit filed with the same court— allows Pacquiao and Spence to move forward with their August 21 title fight, which will air live on Fox Sports Pay-Per-View from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

. But in any case, at least this is a good news and we all know that the fight is going to happen 100%.
It will go against the ethics of the judge on allowing the fight to progress just because he is a fan of Manny. Probably there is a merit on the table that's why he didn't block the Pacquiao vs Spence.
Yeah, I know, I'm just toying with that idea, for sure those sports judges are somewhat a big fan as well. For sure he has check everything before handling that big decision.
And after the fight, then they go back to the drawing table, Pacquiao and his defense team, but with the latest ruling, I think the case might be thrown out in the window by the judge. So a win-win for Pacquiao.
Yes, but for now, Pacquiao and his team shouldn't bother themselves with that lawsuit. They need to focus on this big fight on the table, just a week from now, everything should be perfect, training should be unwinding by now as he don't want to overtrain himself and then followed by a strict nutritional diet to make the weight in the weigh-in Saturday.
