Brecksville sports agent Mark Termini on Tuesday sued Rich Paul and Klutch Sports Group over a contract dispute. Termini's lawsuit says Klutch Sports owes him at least $4.9 million.
A lawsuit filed by a Brecksville sports agent says Klutch Sports Group CEO Rich Paul owes him at least $4.9 million for negotiating NBA contracts for the agency's clients.CLEVELAND, Ohio — A longtime Brecksville sports agent has sued Rich Paul, a Cleveland native and one of the most well-known sports representatives in the country.
Termini accuses Paul of withholding money owed to him for inking at least two contracts for players that Paul has represented since December 2020. A Klutch Sports spokeswoman said the lawsuit is “inaccurate and misguided and will be addressed in the proper forum.” When Paul launched Klutch Sports in 2012, he sought out Termini for help negotiating clients, according to the lawsuit filed on Termini’s behalf by Pepper Pike attorney Richard Haber. Paul, at the time, had not yet negotiated a contract as a player agent, the lawsuit said.
During that time, Termini negotiated contracts for LeBron James’ 2014 return to the Cavaliers and his 2018 signing with the Los Angeles Lakers. Termini in the lawsuit said once he helped establish Klutch Sports as a premier talent-management agency, the business and Paul wanted to pay Termini “significantly less,” the lawsuit said.
