Manny Pacquiao says his former business partners are jealous of his recent $15 million boxing payday — and that’s why they made a scheme to sue him over a busted record deal.
Pacquiao is firing back at RBM Group International — claiming their $10 million lawsuit against him for allegedly backing out of a 12 song record deal is nothing more than a “shakedown.”
In the documents, obtained by TMZ, Manny claims RBM was supposed to pay him $160k up front — but he only got a check for $40,000 … and therefore he has no legal obligation to make an album.
But the best part of the lawsuit — Manny’s lawyer quotes the Archbishop of Constantinople … who said, “As a moth gnaws a garment, so doth envy consume a man.”
