FloSports have informed WWNLive that this weekend’s EVOLVE Wrestling events will not be carried by them, which means that neither will any future events going forward, according to a report from PWInsider.com.
The report notes that WWN Live officials were told just minutes ago and are now deciding their next course of action, as EVOLVE Wrestling are scheduled to run events in Michigan tonight and in Illinois tomorrow night. FloSports meanwhile informed employees that were scheduled to travel to the events that they were not to go to EVOLVE and work the shows, stemming from the lawsuit filed by the company against WWN Live, alleging that WWN Live provided false information when they negotiated their deal, something that WWN Live intends to counter sue.
The report notes that it would appear that one of things that WWN Live will be suing for is breach of contract, as the words making the rounds is that the company had been previously informed by FloSports that the streaming service was going to withhold payments for WWN Live’s content that were due from July 2017 onwards, meaning that WWN Live were now in the bag for all of the July and August events that they produced for the service, without getting paid for that content, similar to this weekend’s broadcasts now being cancelled.
Meanwhile, in a series of posts on his official Twitter account, EVOLVE Wrestling’s Gabe Sapolsky commented on the matter.
FloSlam is refusing to broadcast tonight's EVOLVE event. We apologize, but this is their decision. Please contact them for customer issues
