That was a great video. For those that didn't watch it is not just the match it is commentary and replays showing the little things that Nolf did to control the match and score points.
Flo’s lawsuit against Willie and Rokfin

@El-Jefe - just think how good Nolf would have been if he had gone to his Dream School
For $500 an hour I am certain she would allow you to get up with or move on down with.
Do you think the $8 million seems right? At first I figured it was, but that seems like a lot.
I think they showed they were billed $400/hour or something like that. But that's still 20,000 man hours. Which would be the equivalent of 8 people working 2,500 hours, or 62.5 weeks at 40 hours/per week. Can't imagine it was really that much.
Since when do lawyers only bill for the time spent working?
Please don't tell my wife...and sorry @tikk10 !
Remember, thinking about the case while taking a shower counts as billable time 😉
I've seen lawyers claim thinking as billable time, but it's pointless and risky when "reviewing case files" is kind of the same thing and is widely accepted. Anyone billing for "thinking" is contemptuous of their client.
I don't know what other appreciable fees there would be here given that there was no counterclaim, to my recollection anyway. Court filing fees wouldn't amount to that much. Stenographers, sure, but again, a drop in the bucket if you're talking about a seven-figure sum total.
Yeah I’m not a lawyer but I’m not sure how much else there would’ve been if Willie/Rokfin didn’t get anything, other than maybe if they had to pay their attorney fees too. If memory serves they did pay a hefty hourly rate for some “media expert” or something to serve as a witness.
One time I had to go get deposed in Houston and our attorneys had a hotel suite and we spent the night before eating take out from some fancy restaurant for them to tell me to use the least amount of words possible. I walked out of there and thought to myself that just cost my company 10k.
Right, but if you used lots of words you risked costing your company far more than $10k.
Okay, so a phone call from their respective hotel rooms in Houston, where they all had to travel in order for the deposition to take place. Got it.
The client, who isn't going to flinch about the cost of a steak dinner if they're at the stage of litigation where its employees are being flown in for depositions.
This. Plus these things can be very fluid and complex. No telling the behind the scenes litigative or strategic developments (and atty work) that led up to the anticlimactic deposition prep session.
It’s kind of like trial. What is seen in court is usually just the tip of the iceberg of work that goes on behind the scenes. Most of the work product never sees the light of day.

U.S. Moves to Bar Noncompete Agreements in Labor Contracts
A sweeping proposal by the Federal Trade Commission would block companies from limiting their employees’ ability to work for a rival.
Now if they can go a step further and limit people from owning a wrestling match that happened a week ago, I'd be happy.This seemed relevant enough to paste here:
