MANILA, Philippines – Paradigm Sports Management reportedly hit a setback in its bid to prevent the upcoming fight between Manny Pacquiao and Errol Spence Jr. when a judge temporarily denied its attempt to push for it.
ESPN.com’s Mike Coppinger reported Thursday (Friday, Manila time) that Judge Walter Schwarm “denied Paradigm Sports Management’s effort to obtain a preliminary injunction against Pacquiao that would have halted the Aug. 21 welterweight championship fight in Las Vegas.”
All is not lost for Paradigm though as the official ruling will reportedly be handed down Friday morning (Saturday in Manila).
