Manny Pacquiao Facing $10 Million Lawsuit From Music Company for Failing to Record Songs Manny Pacquiao wasn't challenged all that much in his bout with Antonio Margarito last weekend, but now he's facing a new opponent — one that wants $10 million from him.

According to TMZ, RBM Group International claims it signed Pacquiao to record 12 songs back in 2009, but the pound-for-pound best boxer on the planet never fulfilled the contract. RBM claims to have paid him a $40,000 down payment of sorts and that "they're out of pocket $200,000 … and they've lost profits in the amount of $10 million."

So … they paid Pacquiao $40,000, and they're suing him for $10 million? I'm no lawyer, but I have a feeling they're not getting that money.

And based on the video below from Pacquiao's concert this week, it doesn't look like he's too concerned.
