The event was the third held by the fight promotion at the venue in just a four-month stretch, ati awọn ti o capped julọ aseyori idaji-odun akoko ninu igbega itan.
NEF ni brainchild ti Massachusetts attorney Nick DiSalvo ati Maine State Asoju 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, igbesi aye egeb ti ija idaraya, DiSalvo ati Peterson pinnu lati oso itaja ni Lewiston, Maine, the famed home of the Muhammad Ali-Sonny Liston world heavyweight championship rematch of 1965. NEF’s first event in Lewiston, waye ni Kínní 2012, outdrew Ali-Liston II nipa diẹ ẹ sii ju 800 egeb pẹlu lori 3200 ni wiwa.
Niwon ti akoko, ati ni ibi ti awọn oludije kan ọjà ti floundered, NEF has continued to draw huge crowds to its events. The promotion has hosted fights of many UFC veterans, pẹlu tele meji-aye akoko heavyweight asiwaju Tim “Awọn Maine-iac” Sylvia (31-10). Ni 2013, NEF co-promoted an event in Lewiston with national promotion Bellator. That event was broadcast live on Spike TV. Afikun ohun ti, NEF ká awọn fidio lori YouTube ni milionu ti wiwo agbaye, ati igbega ká iṣẹlẹ ifojusi le igba wa ni ri lori TV ká AXS Inu MMA eto.
Ni akọkọ idaji ti 2015, ju lọ 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 – kan diẹ 18 ọsẹ lati “NEF XVI” loriKínní 7 si “NEF XVIII” lori June 13. It is also another example of NEF thriving in a time when other regional fight promotions struggle.
“O ni o kan gan awọn esi ti a pupo ti lile ise ati owo iriri,” Said DiSalvo, a 1999 mewa summa pelu laude ti Merrimack College ni North Andover, MA, ibi tí ó wà a Presidential omowe, ati ki o nigbamii kan mewa ti Suffolk University Ofin School ni Boston, MA. “NEF si yege nitori Matt ati ki o Mo ni kan gidi ife gidigidi fun ija igbega, 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, a ayẹwo Forukọsilẹ, and have a good grasp on finance and budgeting. It’s a business like any other.”
Nitori awọn idagba ti awọn owo, 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.
“Ni akoko kan ti nla ihamọ ati adapo nigba ti o ba de si awọn agbegbe MMA aaye, NEF ti lọ ninu awọn gangan idakeji ati ki o gidi pọ won ìwò owo,” so Caplan nigba ti ami fun ọrọìwòye. “Lati sọ awọn ipele ti idagbasoke ti NEF ti a ti ni iriri laipẹ ni toje yoo jẹ ohun understatement.
