PayForView.com,<list stock> Launches Website With Women's Championship Boxing NEW YORK, Mar 6, 2000 (ENTERTAINMENT WIRE) -- All Rights Acquired for April 26th Event PayForView.com (OTCBB: PAYV) today announced a deal with Los Angeles based Event Sports for the first ever web-cast of an all female boxing card around the world, to be broadcast from the Treasure Chest Casino in Kenner Louisiana on April 26th. The five fight card, which will include two World Championship bouts sanctioned by the IFBA (International Female Boxers Association) will be PayForView's first event on its new website being launched in mid-April. Under the terms of the deal, PayForView.com owns the event outright, and retains all merchandising as well as Internet and traditional broadcast rights. The event will be simulcast live via satellite and on the Internet exclusively through PayForView.com. The show will then be available for delayed broadcast on Network and Cable television. The event is sanctioned by the Louisiana State Boxing Commission, and will be produced by Event Sport's Rick Kulis, a 20 year international sporting and music event veteran. He is one of boxing's most well known event distributors, with dozens of bouts to his credit, including Douglas vs. Holyfield, De La Hoya vs. Chavez and Holmes vs. Cooney. His musical credits include Neil Young in San Francisco, David Benoit and Friends, and the first ever pay-for-view concert, Fabian Rock and Roll. PayForView's Sid Amira, who has put on many world renowned pay-for-view events himself and has worked with Event Sports in the past, says the growing appeal of female boxing and the delayed network and cable broadcast gives PayForView.com an excellent marketing opportunity. "With the growing popularity of women's boxing around the world, PayForView.com is uniquely positioned to expand this exciting sport to every fan with a PC and the ability to log on", said Amira. "We at PayForView believe in the long term potential of female boxing and intend to continue to support and nurture this exciting category." Event Sports' Rick Kulis said that the rights purchased by PayForView.com indicates a bright future for pay-for-view events. "This is the first time I've seen an Internet based broadcaster step up to the plate to buy and produce an event for both Internet and traditional broadcast", said Kulis. "I think it shows great foresight on PayForView's behalf, and is a sign of things to come for Internet broadcasting companies. I'm excited to be in on the ground floor of what is proving to be a very fast moving industry." The April 26 event will be the first of many events PayForView.com and Event Sports plan to offer in 2000 and beyond. PayForView.com is an integrated on-line and off-line entertainment company that will distribute movies, music, sports and live events direct to viewers on a pay-for-view, retail and e-commerce basis. The company is in the process of acquiring content and creating programming for broadcast specifically over the Internet and traditional media. Additionally, the company owns several off-line interests. Its rap and hip-hop music label, Street Solid Records, is distributed through K-Tel Distribution (NASDQ: KTEL). Voyager International Entertainment is currently packaging several motion picture projects for production. Avalon Entertainment is the Company's foreign sales division for these projects.
