CORONA DEL MAR, Calif.,
Jan. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
ActionView International, Inc. (OTC: AVEW) today announced
that its World Championship Full Contact (WCFC) Last Man Standing
tournament scheduled for January 20,
2012 at the UCCU Center in Orem,
Utah will be broadcast live via the Internet on a
pay-per-view basis. The PPV purchase price is $14.95 and will feature two simultaneous 8-man
tournaments in both the welterweight (170 pound) and heavyweight
classes. WCFC has signed an agreement with NeuLion, Inc. to provide
advertising and marketing support for the PPV broadcast.
Joe Wooten, Chief Executive
Officer of ActionView, discussed the Company's return to a PPV
model, "The WCFC has always had as its focus the objective to reach
the broadest possible market through Internet broadcasting of our
live events. While several of our events have been broadcast
live, and we have experienced limited success with a PPV model, our
partnership with NeuLion provides a much broader marketing base,
offering the potential to reach millions of potential viewers
through their pre-event marketing efforts. Being able to
monetize our broadcast with both PPV revenues and ad sales while
reaching a broad international base is a significant step forward
for the WCFC brand. The Last Man Standing tournament series
has generated such overwhelming support from fans and fighters,
with great viewership numbers from the last event, that we feel the
January 20th tournament is the
perfect event to return to a PPV model."
The January 20th WCFC tournament
will feature former Ultimate Fighter contestants Brandon Melendez and Kyacey Uscola, together
with Utah fighters Mike Arrant and James
Birdsley and some very talented new fighters who deserve a
shot at being crowned "Last Man Standing" tournament winner.
The heavyweight tournament will showcase 6'8" 265 pound phenom
Jack May and UFC alum Fabiano Scherner, along with Utah fighter Ty
Lee. A complete fight card can be found at
www.WCFC.com. Utah hip hop
sensation, The Commission, will open the show and debut their
WCFC-inspired song "Last Man Standing."
Tickets are available at the UCCU box office, at SmithTix, and
at www.WCFC.com. Pre-sale general admission tickets are
two-for-$20. In another
Utah first, the WCFC is offering a
special for high school students who can purchase general admission
tickets for just $5. Mr. Wooten
stated, "Some of the most passionate MMA fans are high school
kids. Now, for less than the price of a movie ticket, they
can grab their buddies and come see the greatest live MMA event in
the history of Utah."
The UCCU Center is located on the campus of Utah Valley
University at 800 W. University in Orem. Gates will open at 6:00 with the first
round matches starting at 7:00.
