Cage Warriors Announce New TV Partner
Mar 25, 2011
(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Cage Warriors Fighting Championship is
pleased to announce the continuing expansion of their broadcast
footprint with the signing of an agreement with the UK based sports
channel Premier Sports TV. This groundbreaking deal will mean Cage
Warriors will be available on a free-to-view and delayed basis on
the channel following each of the 8 events planned for the rest of
2011. Cage Warriors 41 which will be held on Easter Sunday will
become the first event to be broadcast free-to-view on Premier
Sports that operates on the Sky platform, channel 433. Live
streaming will continue to be available free through the Cage
Warriors website.
This announcement follows the successful broadcast and worldwide live streaming of the Cage Warriors 40 show. That event comprised of six televised CWFC bouts which included a successful CWFC Bantamweight Title defence by Paul “Metabolic” McVeigh. The show was headlined by a Women’s Super-Flyweight showdown between the Bellator, Elite XC and BodogFIGHT veteran Rosi “The Surgeon” Sexton and the Japanese based American Strikeforce veteran Roxanne "The Happy Warrior" Modafferi.
This agreement highlights the level of commitment the highly
regarded and respected UK based MMA Promotional Company has in
showcasing high level UK Mixed Martial Arts action, and
simultaneously providing their growing talent pool with significant
exposure through a growing national and international television
audience.
Cage Warriors Director Graham Boylan said “This is a great partnership for Cage Warriors Fighting Championship and a great opportunity for fighters worldwide to get the exposure they deserve as professional athletes. The fighters put so much time and effort into this sport they deserve this exposure. I’m very excited for them”.
Richard Webb from Premier Sports commented ‘We are delighted to be able to offer Cage Warriors the platform and coverage that matches with their ambitions to consolidate and grow as Britain’s number 1 MMA championship. By making each event available to 10 million Sky platform homes for free, we believe the popularity of the event will only be enhanced. No subscription to our channel will be required to view this event. “
