SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 3 – Floyd Mayweather Productions, for the falling about a plan to fight Logan Paul in Dubai rather than in Miami next month, on May 14, 2021 sued PAC Entertainment Worldwide LLC.
The complaint, docketed at 5:22 pm on May 14 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York where Inner City Press immediately found it, recounts PAC defaulting on its agreement to pay Mayweather $110 million.
It says "Mayweather Promotion sent a letter, dated May 13, 2021, confirming termination [and] secured a new venue in Miami."
Mayweather was asking for $122.6 million.
Jump cut to August 9, 2022, and Mayweather was nearing his own default win in SDNY: " IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that PAC's deadline to obtain new counsel is ADJOURNED to September 8, 2022, or else PAC must show cause why Mayweather Promotions should not be entitled to a default judgment. See Lattanzio v. COMTA, 481 F.3d 137, 140 (2d Cir. 2007) (a limited liability company may only appear in federal court through a licensed attorney). SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Judge Valerie E. Caproni on 8/9/2022)."
On September 3, Judge Caproni dismissed most of PAC's counter-claims: "OPINION AND ORDER re: [42] MOTION to Dismiss Counterclaims. filed by Mayweather Promotions, LLC, Floyd Mayweather. For the foregoing reasons, PACs counterclaims for wrongful termination, fraud, unjust enrichment, constructive trust, and promissory estoppel are DISMISSED with prejudice for failure to state a claim. All of PAC's counterclaims against Mayweather individually are also DISMISSED with prejudice. Promotions' motion to dismiss PAC's counterclaim for anticipatory breach of contract and breach of contract premised on Paul's participation in WrestleMania is DENIED. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the open motion at docket entry 42. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Valerie E. Caproni on 9/1/2022)."
The case is Floyd Mayweather Productions, LCC v. PAC Entertainment Worldwide LLC, 21-cv-4378 (Caproni).
