Rich Paul and Klutch Sports Sued by Former Agent Over $4.9 Million in Unpaid Fees

Mark Termini claims breach of contract, alleging he was shortchanged for negotiating major NBA deals, including LeBron James' contracts.

Mark Termini, a former agent at Klutch Sports, has filed a lawsuit against the agency and its founder, Rich Paul, for unpaid fees amounting to over $4.9 million.
Termini alleges he was instrumental in negotiating over $1 billion in deals, including LeBron James' high-profile contracts with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers.
The lawsuit claims Paul began underpaying Termini in 2018, violating their agreement and hiring third-party agents to perform Termini's exclusive duties.
Klutch Sports, acquired by United Talent Agency in 2019, represents top athletes like LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and DeAndre Hopkins.
A spokesperson for Klutch Sports described the lawsuit as inaccurate and misguided, stating it will be addressed in court.
