埃德蒙頓, 加拿大 (八月 30, 2017) – 超級通道 is pleased to announce that it has acquired the rights in Canada to broadcast the 世界拳擊超級系列 (WBSS) 從 MP & 席爾瓦, 國際領先的媒體公司，提供媒體版權, 數字, 技術和贊助商服務.
“Our acquisition of the World Boxing Super Series further reinforces our commitment to make exciting world-class boxing a regular staple of Super Channel SPORTS,” said Don McDonald, President and CEO for Super Channel. “It is a strategic step in our quest to establish Super Channel as the go-to destination for boxing fans looking for unique and exciting boxing action, at all levels.”
Frank Uddo, MP & Silva’s President, 北美, 評論: “We are delighted to work with Super Channel and World Boxing Super Series in Canada to help promote and distribute what we believe is a refreshingly premium international boxing competition. The new format, transparency, and potential match-ups should excite all boxing fans in Canada.”
世界拳擊超級系列 is a new revolutionary bracket-style elimination tournament featuring the world`s best boxers and a total of $50 million in prize money. The knockout format of the competition will see the best boxers ultimately compete for the Muhammad Ali Trophy, the greatest prize in boxing. The tournament is organized by newly-founded Comosa AG, a Swiss-registered company with principal owners Highlight Event & 娛樂, Modern Times Group and Team Sauerland. Comosa AG is working in partnership with boxers, promoters and managers around the world, and in alignment with the four major world boxing federations, to create a new global platform for the sport.
The tournament, the first of its kind which is planned to take place on an annual basis, will kick off on 九月 9. The inaugural season of the World Boxing Super Series will feature two weight classes, 16 戰士, and a total of 14 main events. An expert panel invited the world’s best boxers to compete, namely the top 15-ranked fighters of the four major federations: WBA, WBC, IBF和WBO. In each weight class, eight boxers will battle it out in a bracket-style elimination tournament, with four quarterfinals (九月 & 十月 2017), two semifinals (一月 & 二月 2018) and one championship final (五月 2018).
“I can’t think of a better home than Super Channel for the World Boxing Super Series” said Troy Wassill, 編程總監, Domestic Distributors and Sports for Super Channel. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have this exciting opener with Usyk vs Huck as the lead-in to the quarter finals, with eight consecutive weekends of top-flight action.”
