BlueMoon Entertainment INKS Content Sponsorship deal with BxStrs ESPN Knockouts
LOS ANGELES, CA, October 11-2021:
Boxing fans in the United States will soon be able to watch some of Latin America’s most exciting upcoming talent on the new Bluemoon Entertainment over-the-top (OTT) streaming platform.
Beginning November 12, the platform will show ESPN KnockOut, one of the most popular boxing shows across Latin America, as part of a content and sponsorship deal with the program’s lead promoter BxStrs Promotions that will also provide Bluemoon Entertainment with fight slots on the televised cards.
“This is a great opportunity for both Bluemoon and ESPN KnockOut,” said Rachel Charles, Director of Operations for Bluemoon Entertainment. “Now both will have exposure to U.S.audiences, who will be able to see fighters they might not otherwise have a chance to watch in action.”
“We are proud and honored at BxStrs Promotions to establish this strategic alliance
with Bluemoon Entertainment to develop the new stars of boxing, as well as to give more and better opportunities to the world champions of tomorrow,” said BxStrsPromotions in a statement. “We believe this will be the beginning of a great long-term project, which all boxing fans will enjoy for the next several years.”
The partnership will carry a total of 48 fight cards over 24 months; the opening November 12 card in Puerto Vallarta will be followed by shows from Tijuana on November 26 and La Paz on December 17.
“The fighters who will be featured on the cards may not be big names yet,” added Felipe Leon, Bluemoon Entertainment’s Vice President for Latin America. “But they will be, and now U.S. fight fans can follow their progress almost from the beginning.”
Bluemoon Entertainment will also offer a wide variety of additional boxing content, including live shows and shoulder programming, and ultimately other sports. Its first live card on October 29 will be headlined by an exhibition between future Hall-of-Famer James Toney and veteran contender Jeremy Williams.
“Bluemoon Entertainment is delighted to be partnering with BxStrs Promotions. Our sole goal is to bring content of the highest caliber to fight fans across our platforms,” said Charles.
“There is no better way to watch and enjoy up and coming prospects start their career towards becoming world champions than on ESPN KnockOut. BxStrs Promotions and BluemoonEntertainment are dedicated to giving fight fans the fights they want to see and deserve. We look forward to the exciting beginning of a multiyear relationship.”
