MURRIETA, Calif., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ActionView International, Inc. (Pink Sheets: AVEW) and its wholly owned MatchFights, LLC subsidiary today announced that Native American gaming casinos are being targeted as venues for upcoming events delivered by MatchFights and its BKB Fight Club property.
ActionView Director Tony "The Tiger" Lopez, a 3-time world boxing champion, has, since his retirement from the ring, re-entered the fight world as a promoter. Mr. Lopez has established relationships with Indian casinos and intends to pursue similar facilities around the United States for future BKB Fight Club events. The premier MatchFights event has been scheduled for September 25, 2009. The company expects to announce the venue for the first event in the coming days.
"While we prepare for the first live MatchFights event on September 25th, we are already planning even bigger and better events to follow," said Mr. Lopez. "There are a variety of potential venues available for these events, but one avenue that we are already pursuing is Indian casinos, which can be found across the United States. From my experience in boxing and promoting boxing events, I already have some Indian casino contacts and am following up with several others. I expect that we will secure this type of venue for future MatchFights events, which will be announced as they are scheduled.
"These casinos have first rate facilities and the capacity to hold very large crowds. While our primary focus as a company is to have a large pay-per-view audience to drive revenues, a packed arena with an energized crowd will only add to the excitement and increase the popularity of the live events.
"As we move forward with our efforts to stage high quality events and present a product that is attractive to worldwide audiences, I will play an active role in the promotion and marketing of MatchFights and BKB Fight Club. Our product is unique in that it provides the first truly interactive fight experience for the fans--where they get to select the matchups and then, ultimately, they pick the winner. By then also opening the contest up to all different fighting styles, not just MMA, we expect to appeal to a much wider audience. I believe that there is definitely a large audience globally for this type of entertainment. The key will be to actively and effectively promote the company at every opportunity and securing the best venues will help us to draw the most possible attention for upcoming events."
