We want to enable fight fans everywhere to tune in to this exciting fight event, despite their situation, especially those affected by Hurricane Sandy. We will also be encouraging viewers to donate to the Global Impact Disaster Relief Fund throughout the broadcast.”
“We know that there are thousands of fight fans on the East Coast that are currently without power, therefore we will also be streaming the fights live on Smart Phone’s everywhere through MSXN,” stated Jefferson. ”Fans that don’t have access to a computer, internet, or power, can still tune in and watch the fights if they have access to a smart phone. At GPG we will always go the extra mile to take care of the fighters and the fans.”
