Disney, Fox & Fubo Lawyers Clash In NY Court As Venu Sports Antitrust Lawsuit Goes Before Judge


Lawyers for both sides butted heads Tuesday in a key hearing in the antitrust lawsuit Fubo filed against Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery.

In his opening argument, Fubo lawyer Mark Hansen said the company has long sought to offer a “sports-only” bundle with fewer channels at a lower price point. Hansen noted the quarterly earnings news earlier in the day as proof that Fubo has a “path to profitability” if it is not “preyed upon by the Raptor.” (The internal code name for what became Venu Sports was Project Raptor and that name has been used in court by both sides.) A slide he created was shown on a video monitor showing a price spectrum, with subscription streaming outlets like Netflix and Disney+ on one side in the $10 to $15 monthly range, and MVPDs and vMVPDs (Comcast, YouTube TV, Fubu, etc.)
