Kerwin v. Cage Fury Fighting Championships

2015 WL 5092976 (2015)

Facts

P alleges that the fight promoting Ds entered into an exclusive dealing agreement with the Casino defendants so as to restrict trade in the mixed martial arts market in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Haydak (D) and Cage (D) answered P's interrogatories after plaintiff filed a motion to compel. Answers to some interrogatories are still in dispute as well as each request for the production of documents. P sought information about Ds' business agreements, non-compete agreements, relative market share, and nature of their businesses. P sought information related to Cage's roster of fighters, fighter contracts, financial documents, profits, advertising materials and tickets, sponsor and employee lists, and videos of past events. P sought the financial terms and contracts for every venue where Cage (D) had promoted an event. Ds refused production. P moved to compel, and Ds moved for a protective order.
