Last weekend Manny Pacquiao made headlines after taking home the WBC Super Welterweight Championship belt.  This week he is being sued for $10 million over a recording contract gone bad.

We didn’t even know that Manny was a singer.  RBM Group International has filed a lawsuit with the L.A. County Superior Court claiming the boxing champ signed a contract with them in 2009 and it has yet to be fulfilled.

Pacquiao was given $40,000 in 2009 under the agreement that he would record two songs.  The money was deposited and the songs were never recorded.  Out of pocket expenses over this ordeal were $200,000.  RBM claims that because their client never came through they lost potential profits of up to $10 million.
