VakAttack 3,129 Report post Posted November 13, 2020 The argument that Rokfin is not a competitor to Flowrestling is, at best, misguided. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alliseeisgold 80 Report post Posted November 13, 2020 wow - i think your right vakattack. Martin is standing in front of a camera shooting ramos and says "i'm not filming." i'm just talking. really crazy these guys can have their personal text messages delivered to court over a civil case. Didn't know that. Cael is so cringe. double texting. What a loser lol willie to martin "we are gonna make rokfin what flo was. we are gonna crush ." hahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the internet space almost everyone is a competitor. They both want subscribers, but have different business models. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I see CP and WIllie doing it, I equate it with inexperience and fear of saying the wrong thing. Martin comes off like he's trying to get one over. I admit this is colored by my perception of the parties, but also....I have experience in this sort of thing, lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would say they weren't competitors until they started doing events (edit: I mean, having content creators stream their own events on Rokfin). And Martin's non-compete had expired by then.

Technically Rokfin doesn't do the live events, it is the content creators. That includes their "free thinking media" group of creators. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I'd have to confirm exactly when some of the other HS channels started doing events Edit: And I'm sure you know this but they're not accusing Martin of breaking his own non-compete, just of "tortious interferences" in regards to Willie's.

Essentially they're framing the content creators as sort of "independent contractors". But it's odd because they're taking a slice off the creator's stuff, plus they paid Willie a salary. 1 Housebuye reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, plus when Rokfin itself is promoting things such as the NLWC event, I think it's hard to argue that they have nothing to do with it. I'd probably clarify though that by "events," I mean matches. I think Flo is trying to lump in things like interviews and podcasts, which I would say fails when you bring up that Ben Askren is on both sites. 1 Housebuye reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VakAttack 3,129 Report post Posted November 14, 2020 Martin is essentially trying to very narrowly define competition, but in the end it's obviously disingenuous based on similar distribution models, when they're competing for the same products. Not claiming that it's a dispositive issue.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willie and Martin's overt emotions would play better with juries. I would probably have tried to wait for a jury trial if I was Willie/Rokfin. Could be wrong, but IIRC, during the prior hearings in August or whatever it was, I believe Willie wanted a bench trial as long as it was with Judge Livingston Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
