News Kevin Lee suing GFL

[Lee Danger]

GFL: we got FKL, one of the best fighters alive!!!!
FKL: you just defamed my name!!!!!

"one of the fighters alive"

 

[goOb]

Some guy promised me shit, used my name and went under before they ever earned a dime. I feel so bamboozled.

 

[jsbx45]

FKL not coming across as too intelligent here. Defamation and extortion? Did they rob Kevin then slander him?

 

[Steve Fox]

Kevin Lee seems like the type of guy that is always involved in dumb shit.

 

[Saku'sEar]

Murica fuck yeah lets sue anybody and everything for our stupidness.

 

[Jackonfire]

Yeah but this doesn't have anything to do with bird law. We're not talking event posters.

 

[burningspear]

sue sue barney mcgrew cuthbert dibble and grub

 

[Clark Rogers]

Wow, I'm so shocked that the "league" that was hanging their hats on signing long retired and long washed big name fighters really ended up being bullshit.

NEVER saw that coming.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

Kevin doesn't come across particularly bright here. What were the damages? How did they profit off of him? Does their balance sheet show a profit?

 

[Tracav]

I for one was utterly drawn in by their weird CGI promo and can speak for everyone in saying that it is a complete surprise this is happening.

First time seeing this, how could anyone bank on that

 

[piropiro]

Even assuming his accusations can be substantiated (they seem absolutely illogical and baseless) ... but taking to court a folded broke organisation usually results in winning a % of their zero dollars plus paying your lawyers ...

 

[fedorthegoat777]

Kevin Lee just might be a little retarded.

The GFL tried to get something going. It didn't. So now Kevin is going to sue a failed idea that didn't generate any money. Great.

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

Can someone explain what they did to FKL or is he just CTE ridden?

 

[BEATDOWNS]

I hear Michael Chiesa is still suing Fighter Kevin Lee for defamation against his Mom!

Spoiler

 

[USA!USA!]

Didn't they already start paying guys? If so, how can you sue if you were paid?

 

[Daniel Henry]

I'm a practicing lawyer and would happily take this case. But I don't work for free. Will be happy to discuss a 250/250k show win contract plus bonuses if I'm able to settle plus rebook gear for my kid

 

[Ghostoftheville]

Saw that he has a little food but now and that’s his day job

Are you thinking of his brother?

 

[sonhow]

Maybe hes trying to get Mike Goldberg to pay or something

And it is all over!

 

[Neck&Neck]

What number what he taken at in the Draft, I can’t remember
If he wasn’t a top 5 pick, he’s got no case

Doubt they paid absolutely any of the fighters. I think one of the fighters didn't even know he was affiliated with them until he saw his name in a promo.
