The coronavirus pandemic has affected the entire sports world and broadcast partners for sporting events. This even includes FITE TV which streams events for pro wrestling, boxing and MMA.
FITE's COO Michael Weber discussed how the coronavirus has affected his company when he was in a recent The WrestlingInc Daily podcast.
"It's been pretty interesting. Over the last 5-6 days we've had probably 50-60 shows cancelled because we obviously do a lot more than just pro wrestling. The programming from WrestleCon, The Collective and Ring of Honor – there were 27 shows we were planning to air over a three-day period and had strong sales for it before being cancelled. Believe it or not, we actually ran five live shows last weekend – three of them from the UK who had not yet started shutting things down yet. But pretty much all live shows now are stopping."
