Manny Pacquiao has asked a Texas court to dismiss a lawsuit filed against him by a Mexican American promoter, Edmundo Lozano or Imperial Ed Promotions in Texas.
The lawsuit seeks damages over $1.8 million for a breach of contract. Lozano claimed Pacquiao failed to appear in various events in McAllen, Texas in September.
Lozano claimed that he had advanced Pacquiao the amount of $100,000. In response to this lawsuit, a Texas court then issued a restraining order on the $1.5 million of Pacquiao?s winnings from his most recent fight against Antonio Margarito on November 13.
Pacquiao?s Defense attorney, Lee Veness said the restraining order has expired. He spoke to Balitang America via phone to give further details. Watch the video to hear more of what he said.
