SUN Sports & Entertainment, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SUNR) announced
today it has signed an Agreement to produce up to six Mixed Martial
Arts (MMA) Events in 2009 for FAME USA (www.FAMEUSAEVENTS.com), a
series of events showcasing the elite natural and drug-free
athletes of the country, starting on May 8th, 2009 in Houston,
Texas.
The first leg of the tour, FAME USA's Lone Star Weekend, will
feature some of the country's most exciting natural talent in a
myriad of events including: bodybuilding, fitness, figure, bikini,
step competitions and all-star coed cheer and partner stunt
challenges. For the first time, mixed martial arts will be part of
that line-up and FAME USA Presidents Jason Powell and Kai Miranda
hope to make it a permanent fixture with the organization.
SUN President Clyde Gentry III stated, "Mixed martial arts
competitors are world-class athletes and they will feel right at
home with FAME USA. This is a great co-branding opportunity for ART
OF WAR and the crossover market for both fans and sponsors is
limitless. After meeting the management team of FAME USA, and
seeing the real passion they share for the FAME USA series, we hope
to add that extra spark with our MMA events that will take place
the second day of each two-day affair."
FAME USA President Jason Powell, a martial artist and
professional bodybuilder in his own right, commented, "We are very
excited to include MMA in our line-up of events because our market
is their market and vice versa. When we look at the growth of our
business, MMA has organically become a natural fit and we know our
fans will appreciate it."
After the FAME USA's Lone Star Weekend (May 8-9, 2009), the
series is tentatively scheduled in the following cities: Chicago,
IL; Denver, CO; Ft. Lauderdale, FL; Atlanta, GA; and New Orleans,
LA.
"With the crossover market and the nationwide platform, we are
reviewing different broadcasting vehicles and have had numerous new
sponsorship opportunities," said Gentry. "We hope to build on this
relationship with FAME USA for years to come to making it the
number one bodybuilding and fitness competition in America."
