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).
