WealthTV All In for Boxing

WealthTV, the latest destination for boxing’s premier live events, has secured the live United States television rights for the United Kingdom heavyweight showdown between a pair of former Olympians, rising star David Price and battle-tested veteran Audley Harrison, on October 13 (starting at 3 p.m. ET) from Echo Arena in Liverpool, England.

Price vs. Harrison continues WealthTV‘s commitment to become a major player in live telecasting of world-class boxing, as well as the network’s focus on the heavyweight division. In July, WealthTV showcased world heavyweight contender Tyson Fury‘s (19-0, 14 KOs) fifth-round technical knockout of veteran Vinny Maddalone. The Price-Harrison announcement comes on the heels of WealthTV‘s entertaining “Ironbound Throwdown,” a Main Events card featuring top heavyweights Tomasz “Goral” Adamek against Travis “Freight Train” Walker that aired September 8.

In what many in the boxing community are describing as the best heavyweight round of boxing in recent years, two-time, two division world champion Tomasz Adamek (47-2, 29 KOs) was floored by a well-trained Walker in the second round. Adamek recovered and dropped Walker (39-8-1, 31 KOs) with both fighters ending the round on their feet, along with the crowd. Adamek battled back to finish Walker in the fifth round. WealthTV‘s live Sept.8th airing also included two other fights featuring two of America’s premier rising heavyweights, United States Boxing Association heavyweight title-holder Bryant “By-By” Jennings (15-0, 7 KOs) and former two-time IBF cruiserweight champion Steve “USS” Cunningham (25-4, 12 KOs), who moved up to heavyweight for the first time, in winning fashion. Jennings was impressive, ending his fight with Chris “Special K” Koval (25-10, 18 KOs) in the opening round, and Cunningham pitched a near shutout en route to a dominating win by 10-round decision over Jason “The Sensation” Gavern (21-11-4, 10 KOs).

“We anticipate upwards of 30 to 40 fights on WealthTV through 2013,” WealthTV President Charles Herring commented. “We’re pleased with our programming, thus far, but we’re actively looking for more opportunities to feature top-quality, world-class fights and fighters on our growing network.”

The 6′ 8″ undefeated Price (13-0, 11 KOs), a 2008 Olympic Bronze Medalist, defends his BBBofC British heavyweight title for the first time against southpaw Harrison (28-5, 21 KOs), who captured a Gold Medal in the super heavyweight division at the 2000 Olympic Games.

The 29-year-old Price, already rated No. 21 by the World Boxing Council (WBC), captured the BBBof C heavyweight title last May, stopping former Commonwealth (British) champion Sam Sexton in the fourth round. Price is on the fast track in the heavyweight division, while Harrison’s career is at the crossroads.

Harrison emerged from the 2000 Olympics with great expectations that were never attained. The highlight of his professional career was a 12th round knockout of Michael Sprott in 2010 for the European heavyweight championship. In his next fight, however, Harrison was knocked out in the third round by then World Boxing Association (WBA) kingpin David Haye, whose chief sparring partner, ironically, has been Price.

Other British title fights will air as part of the Price-Harrison card. “This fight continues our heavyweight trend on WealthTV,” WealthTV Director of Live Events Thomas Morris noted. “The heavyweight division has traditionally driven boxing and boxing fans, particularly Americans, who love watching the big guys bang.”

WealthTV recently announced that it has exclusive U.S. rights to broadcast the popular GYM “Fast & Furious” series in Canada, and Hennessy Sports’ “Next Generation” series from the United Kingdom.

The first installment of the new season of the “Fast & Furious” series is scheduled for the night before the Price-Harrison fight – Friday, Oct. 12 – live from the famed Bell Centre in Montreal, headlined by the International Boxing Federation (IBF) super middleweight title eliminator between dangerous Quebec favorite Adonis “Superman” Stevenson (18-1-0, 15 KOs) and American power-puncher Donovan “Da Bomb” George (23-2-1, 20 KOs). The winner between these two powerful hitters will automatically become the mandatory challenger to IBF champion Carl Froch.

Other stars in the making slated to fight on the Oct. 12 “Fast & Furious” show on WealthTV include undefeated North American Boxing Association (NABA) champion Kevin Bizier (17-0, 12 KOs), unbeaten North American Boxing Organization (NABO) light heavyweight titlist Eleider “Storm” Alvarez (9-0, 5 KOs), and middleweight knockout artist David Lemieux. (Plus undefeated Colombian heavyweights, now living in Montreal, Didier “Big Daddy” Bence (5-0, 2 KOs) and 2008 Olympian Oscar Rivas (11-0, 6 KOs).

WealthTV is available on Verizon FiOS TV (channels 169 and 669 in HD), AT&T U-Verse TV (channels 470 and 1470 in HD), along with more than 100 cable systems across the country. A live feed can also be found online at www.wealthtv.com.

Complaint Filed Against Gerrit Schotte

Earlier this week the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Curacao stated that they’re not going to prosecute politically motivated complaints until after the election. This has not stopped Henricus (Harrie) Verstappen to file a 109 page complaint against Prime Minister Gerrit Schotte.

In Verstappen’s complaint against Schotte, he concluded that there is enough suspicion to support the fact that cash deposits made to Schotte’s bank account are related to criminal offenses.

According to the Public Prosecutor’s press officer Norman Serphos the complaint is currently being reviewed by Attorney General Dick Piar. After review the complaint will be submitted to a public prosecutor who will make the determination if any offenses were committed by Schotte.

In case deemed by the Public Prosecutor’s office that the case is politically motivated then the case will be put on hold until after the election as mentioned earlier this week.

Rigondeaux vs. Marroquin Title Fight Back On

World Boxing Association Super Bantamweight Champion Guillermo “El Chacal” Rigondeaux is expected to defend his title this Saturday evening against Robert Marroquin (22-1, 15 KOs), on the Sergio Martinez-Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. HBO Pay-Per-View event, live from the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

A Circuit Court in Miami ruled on August 21 to enjoin Rigondeaux (10-0, 8 KOs) from engaging in any bout not approved by his manager, Gary Hyde, and also enjoined Rigondeaux from participating in this Saturday’s scheduled show promoted Top Rank.

Last night, however, Hyde and Top Rank reached a resolution to allow the Rigondeaux-Marroquin title fight to go forward, and the Nevada State Athletic Commission was informed this morning.

“Thanks to my attorneys, Patrick English and Bill Brown, we have negotiated a far superior deal to fight Robert Marroquin on September 15th,” said Hyde, who has managed Rigondeaux since the two-time Olympic gold medalist defected from Cuba in 2007. “‘Rigo doesn’t get involved or side tracked by legal dramas. He has promised me that he is at his all-time best and that he will KO Marroquin.”

HBO Sports and ESPN Announce Multi-Year Boxing Programming and Marketing Agreement

Initiative Launches with Chavez Jr. vs. Martinez Pay-Per-View Event on Sept. 15 in Las Vegas

Two of television’s most innovative brands, HBO and ESPN, have announced a multi-year, multi-tiered boxing programming and marketing agreement. The announcement was made today by ESPN’s Marie Donoghue, senior vice president of global business strategy & development, and Mark Taffet, senior vice president of sports operations & pay-per-view, HBO Sports.

“This agreement is a testament to ESPN and HBO’s leadership in the sports media industry,” said Donoghue. “ESPN continues to provide sports fans with greater access to events across various platforms and this agreement further extends our commitment to serve the fan.”

Taffet said, “There is a very deep commitment at HBO to grow the sport of boxing and broaden the exposure for the top fighters and events. This collaboration with ESPN will benefit fight fans that already love the sport, will attract many more sports fans to connect with boxing, and will greatly enhance the visibility of the fighters that are featured in HBO Pay-Per-View events.”

Doug Loughrey, director of programming and acquisitions at ESPN: “This collaboration of efforts and resources will provide boxing and sports fans alike a deeper and more consistent look at boxing’s rising stars and established champions while elevating the sport and our collective boxing platforms.”

The agreement includes coordinated support for major pay-per-view boxing events, including sharing programming content, cross-promotion elements, highlight packages and additional assets to be featured across multiple ESPN and HBO platforms.

As part of the agreement, ESPN and ESPN Deportes’ news and information platforms, led by SportsCenter, will have access to key content and information surrounding marquee HBO Pay-Per-View boxing events, including fighter interviews.

In addition, ESPN Deportes Television and ESPN3 -the company’s multiscreen network accessible online at WatchESPN.com, on smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app and through ESPN on Xbox LIVE to Gold members- will carry live fighter weigh-ins plus pre- and post-fight press conferences for HBO-Pay-Per-View Events, as well as additional boxing content connected to these major pay-per-view events.

ESPN and ESPN Deportes will also televise the HBO all-access series 24/7 leading up to HBO Pay-Per-View fights. Starting this Thursday, Sept. 13 at 9 p.m. ET, ESPN2 will air the two-part 24/7 Chavez Jr. /Martinez back-to-back, immediately before ESPN Boxing: Friday Night Fights Special Edition live from Las Vegas at 10 p.m. In addition, ESPN Deportes’ Golpe a Golpe will preview the Chavez Jr. vs. Martinez fight at 9 p.m., while ESPN’s Bernardo Osuna will provide updates from both camps. ESPN Deportes will start televising the series starting with the next HBO Pay-Per View event.

On Saturday, Sept. 15, at 9 p.m. ET from the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, HBO Pay-Per-View will produce and distribute the world middleweight championship fight between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Sergio Martinez.

HBO’s leadership position in boxing began in 1973 and the network has televised more than 875 fights in the past 39 years. HBO Sports produces three boxing series: the flagship World Championship Boxing franchise, the late-night enterprise Boxing After Dark, and HBO Pay-Per-View.

Additionally, HBO Sports introduced boxing’s first reality franchise with the launch of 24/7 in 2007. The acclaimed series has earned 16 Sports Emmy Awards in its first five seasons on the air.

ESPN is home to ESPN’s Friday Night Fights and ESPN Deportes’ Viernes de Combates (Spanish version), a weekly boxing series which runs between January and August and showcases some of the best bouts in the boxing industry. The series, which began on October 2, 1998, recently concluded its 15th season. ESPN began televising boxing on April 10, 1980 when weekly boxing returned to television for the first time since 1964, with the debut of Top Rank Boxing on ESPN.
