NEW YORK (Mei 9, 2017) – Beginning Donderdag, fight fans from around the globe no longer have to miss out on their favorite boxing, MMA or Muay Thai cards, nor will they be forced to search desperately for a ringside spectator’s blurry mobile phone feed at non-televised events.

Promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, each action-packed “Slugfest at the Sun” bout will be streamed exclusively via Facebook Live on the FIGHTNIGHT LIVE Facebook Page. The card is highlighted by a main event featuring former world title contender and Connecticut fan favorite Delvin Rodriguez (29-8-4, 16KO), as he takes on upset-minded Courtney Pennington(10-4-1, 5KO's) in a 10-round Junior Middleweight bout at Mohegan Sun Arena. Former WBC women’s world champion Kali Reis (10-6-1, 4 KO) meets determined veteran Ashleigh Curry (7-10-4, 8 KO) in het co-feature.
“Our ability to leverage Facebook is great for the future of boxing. It is a fantastic way to reach our fans and create a wider and younger audience,” zei Joe DeGuardia, President en CEO van Star Boxing. “I’m thrilled to help bring boxing to this platform and believe it will be fantastic for Star Boxing, our fighters and other fighters and promoters. The future is extremely bright for boxing, which has traditionally been a leader in finding new ways to connect with the world. In the past it was radio, then TV, then Closed Circuit, Cable and ultimately PPV. Watching boxing live via a stream on a platform like Facebook is the next frontier.”
Gemaakt en geproduceerd door Linacre Media van New York City, the FIGHTNIGHT LIVE series will feature multiple camera angles, afbeeldingen, replays en achter de schermen toegang en interviews. The streamed shows will be available globally wherever Facebook is available. Het initiatief maakt niet alleen fans van over de hele wereld om af te stemmen, maar geeft ook up-and-coming-strijders een wereldwijd platform om hun vaardigheden te demonstreren, geeft promotors een toegankelijke “uitzending” solution and gives small business sponsors the ability to reach a mass audience via branded content.
“Like many others, we believe that the present and future of ‘televised’ boksen, MMA, Muay Thai and really all live sports is digital. Verder, by putting these events on Facebook we’re providing an interactive environment for fight fans to not only view the events, but to connect with each other and provide their own real-time commentary during the bouts,” said Mark Fratto, Principal en directeur bedrijfsontwikkeling, Linacre Media. “We believe in high-quality, cost-efficient production that can give fans free access to hundreds of global, national and regional live fight nights without breaking the bank of the promoter and also without sacrificing what sports fans have come to expect from their viewing experience – meerdere camerahoeken, afbeeldingen, replays and behind-the-scenes access and interviews.”
