Question:
Rolf, a resident of Chicago, Illinois, was a contender for the world middle-weight champion title. Rolf's manager Archie Bowles, also from Illinois, entered into a contract with the Moyles Corporation of Chicago to co-promote a fight between Rolf and Villin the current middle-weight champion in New York City. The contract was made in the state of New York. To promote the fight, Rolf's manager held a press conference in New York City. At the press conference, Bowles was involved in a confrontation with a sports writer covering the press conference and ended up severely assaulting him. The sportswriter brought suit against Bowles and the Moyles Corporation by filing a complaint in a New York State Court. The only contact the Moyles Corporation had with New York City was that a selected group of employees had taken one or two trip to New York City to plan the fight, but the fight was never held. New York State had a long arm statute.
Does New York State have any jurisdiction over the Moyles Corporation so as to enable a lawsuit to be brought in that state?
