In an update on the lawsuit between FloSports and WWNLive, a pre-trial conference in the lawsuit filed by FloSports against WWNLive is set for February 27th before Judge Lee Yeakel in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, according to a report from PWInsider.com who note that what is interesting about that conference is that on December 28th, 2017, Judge Lee Yeakel signed an order referring the WWNLive motion, claiming that the lawsuit against them should not be heard in Texas for lack of jurisdiction to another Judge, Andrew W. Austin.

The report notes that FloSports filed a motion on December 22nd, 2017 seeking to have WWNLive’s previous request for the lawsuit the streaming provider brought against them shut down, with FloSports’ lawsuit, seeking $1 million in damages, revolving around allegations that WWNLive, run by Sal Hamaoui and Gabe Sapolsky, had robbed FloSports by providing them with false information that led to the streaming provider paying inflated prices for WWNLive content.

In the motion, which had yet to be ruled on by Judge Andrew W. Austin, WWNLive argued that the Texas courts lack the jurisdiction to rule over the company, as they are based in Florida, while their top executives, Sal Hamaoui and Gabe Sapolsky, reside in Florida and Massachusetts respectively. FloSports in the motion claim that WWNLive, by entering into their agreement with FloSlam, realized that FloSports was a Texas-based company and therefore, fell under Texas law, with the report stating that FloSports previously noted that Hamaoui travelled to Texas to meet with them and then physically signed the agreement between both companies while he was in Texas, while also stating that when WWNLive signed their 5-year-deal with the company, they agreed to be governed by Texas law.
