FloSports filed a lawsuit against WWN claiming that the representatives of the parent company of Evolve provided false information regarding their online pay-per-view numbers produced prior to their partnership. FloSports is reportedly seeking over $1 million in damages.
Meanwhile, attorney Samuel Heller issued the following response to PWInsider.com: “While we prefer not to litigate cases in the media, it is clear that FloSports is attempting to use the press to create leverage in this dispute by spreading false, defamatory and misleading statements about WWN.
“In reality, FloSports has wholly failed to honor its contractual obligation to promote WWN’s events, and has been unable to successfully integrate WWN into its mismanaged and failing subscription streaming platform. At no time has WWN provided incorrect, false or misleading information and this lawsuit is nothing more than a transparent effort by FloSports to avoid its responsibility to WWN, its talent and its fans. We are confident that the litigation will result favorably to WWN.”
Powell’s POV: The sad reality is that this is the most attention FloSports and WWN have generated since the initial launch of Evolve and the other WWN promotions on the FloSlam streaming service. FloSports made a lot of noise when they entered the market about other potential pro wrestling streaming partners, but sadly few have materialized and their marketing has been atrocious. Obviously, we’ll let the situation play out in court given that two sides have conflicting stories. It’s worth noting that the Evolve shows this weekend will air on FloSlam as scheduled.
