Deadline | by TVNewsCheck

While not named as defendants, Les Moonves and CAA have been dragged into the ring in a legal dust-up over the Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather battle of last spring. Actor Gabriel Rueda has sued CBS, Showtime, Pacquiao and his trainer/coach Freddie Roach in a multi-claim breach of contract complaint filed in L.A. Superior Court on Wednesday. Rueda, who also goes by Gabriel Salvador, says he is owed more $8.6 million for making introductions for the CBS boss that lead to the record-breaking May 2, 2015, Fight Of the Century.
