POU PIBLIKASYON IMEDYAT: Lewiston, Maine (Jen 30, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, ki te fèt dizwityèm melanje-masyal-boza li yo (Mma) evènman, “Nef XVIII Atik: Made In America,” yon ti kras plis pase de semèn de sa nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine. The event was the third held by the fight promotion at the venue in just a four-month stretch, epi li mete limit peryòd la demi-ane ki gen plis siksè nan istwa pwomosyon nan.
Nef se brainchild la nan avoka Massachusetts Nick DiSalvo ak Maine Eta Reprezantan Matt Peterson (D-RUMFORD). The pair met in the fall of 2011 and formed a business partnership with the intent of promoting MMA events. Both being avid, fanatik tout vi li nan espò konba, DiSalvo ak Peterson deside nan boutik konfigirasyon nan Lewiston, Maine, the famed home of the Muhammad Ali-Sonny Liston world heavyweight championship rematch of 1965. NEF’s first event in Lewiston, ki te fèt nan mwa fevriye 2012, outdrew Ali-Liston II pa plis pase 800 fanatik ak plis pase 3200 nan prezans nan lekòl.
Depi lè sa a, ak nan yon mache kote konpetitè te floundered, NEF has continued to draw huge crowds to its events. The promotion has hosted fights of many UFC veterans, ki gen ladan ansyen de-tan chanpyon pwa loud mond Tim “Maine-IAC la” Sylvia (31-10). Nan 2013, NEF co-promoted an event in Lewiston with national promotion Bellator. That event was broadcast live on Spike TV. Anplis de sa, Videyo nef an sou Youtube gen dè milyon de opinyon atravè lemond, ak en evènman pwomosyon nan ka souvan ka wè sou AXS televizyon an Anndan mma pwogram.
Nan pwemye mwatye nan 2015, plis pase 6,000 people have been drawn to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee for three NEF events. It is the largest attendance number the promotion has accumulated in such a brief period of time – yon plis 18 semèn soti nan “Nef XVI” souFevriye 7 to “Nef XVIII Atik” sou jen 13. It is also another example of NEF thriving in a time when other regional fight promotions struggle.
“Li nan vrèman jis rezilta a nan yon anpil nan travay di ak eksperyans biznis,” Di DiSalvo, yon 1999 gradye sòm nan jaden cum laude nan Merrimack College nan North Andover, MA, kote li te yon Scholar Prezidansyèl, epi pita yon diplome nan Suffolk University Law School nan Boston, MA. “Nef reyisi paske Matt ak mwen gen yon pasyon reyèl pou pwomosyon batay, and we’re willing to do the not-so-glamorous grunt work that others shy away from. You need to understand your audience. You need to know your way around a spreadsheet, yon enskri chèk, and have a good grasp on finance and budgeting. It’s a business like any other.”
Akòz kwasans lan nan biznis la, DiSalvo and Peterson decided to add a third executive to the mix earlier this year. They hired longtime Bellator Vice President of Talent Relations Sam Caplan to serve as NEF’s Director of National Business Development.
“Nan yon moman nan gwo kontraksyon ak consolidation lè li rive rejyonal mma espas ki la, Nef te ale nan yon direksyon ki egzak opoze ak aktyèlman ogmante biznis jeneral yo,” deklare Caplan lè jwenn pou fè kòmantè. “Pou di nivo nan kwasans ki nef ki te wap dènyèman se ra ta dwe yon egzajere. Kwasans pwomosyon a se yon kontra Bondye nan pwofesyonalis ak biznis disiplin la nan propriyeter chèf li yo, Nick DiSalvo ak Matt Peterson.”
