ActionView International, Inc. Discusses Next WCFC Event
06 Outubro 2011 - 10:14AM
ActionView International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:AVEW) today announced
that the next WCFC event will be held January 20, 2012 in Orem,
Utah. The event will feature two, simultaneous 8-man tournaments to
determine the WCFC champions in both the 170-pound and heavyweight
classes. The event will be broadcast live at www.wcfc.com for fans
around the world.
Joe Wooten, CEO of ActionView, discussed the return to the
tournament format for WCFC, "We received an overwhelming response
to our 155-pound tournament from online viewers, live attendees and
the athletes themselves. Seeing an entire tournament unfold
over the course of one night created amazing energy, with the
winner having every right to claim the WCFC belt. As a
company, we've decided to continue in this vein and determine all
of the WCFC belt holders through tournament competition." In
discussing the 8-man format, Mr. Wooten added, "While we loved the
16-man tournament, the event took over 5 hours with ensuring that
all the fighters had adequate rest between rounds. Also,
filling 16 spots has the potential to dilute the talent pool and
create mismatches. An 8-man tournament lets us limit participation
to the best fighters and having two weight classes gives the
fighters more chance to rest without having to schedule
intermissions."
The January 20th event will be held at Utah Valley University
Event Center in Orem, Utah—a large capacity event center 45-minutes
from downtown Salt Lake City and five minutes from neighboring
Brigham Young University. Tickets will be available at the box
office and through wcfc.com.
Mr. Wooten also discussed the FightNow TV contract and other
business opportunities for WCFC, "We have finishing production on
the first 2-hour show for FightNow TV and have an agreement to
provide seven additional one-hour shows. With the national reach of
FightNow TV and the ability to monetize this contract through
advertising revenues, we have shifted the focus of WCFC towards
generating fight content that meets the exacting criteria of
national television. This includes shooting all WCFC events in
hi-definition and having innovative, exciting content such as
tournament-style programming. Unfortunately, this also means we've
had to temporarily shelve some of our expansion plans, including
events in Canada and broadcasting on Telemundo, to better manage
our resources. We hope to refocus on these opportunities in early
2012."
