SINGAPORE: Fast growing Asian sports media property Ringstar Boxing Wednesday claimed to have reached a worldwide broadcast footprint of a potential billion+ viewers.
Ringstar asserted it managed to hit the milestone due to its broadcast partnerships with networks such as CSI – Fight Sports, Fox Sports Asia, Astro, among other networks, that have also covered the previous fight ‘Roar of Singapore III’, last October.
Ringstar founder & CEO Scott O’Farrell says: “My vision was to reach this number within 18 months, and I have smashed that goal. We now have premier brands supporting us like Marina Bay Sands, and our shows are now in one of Asia’s premier venues, The Singapore National Indoor Stadium.
“We have primetime broadcast partners on board that include CSI – Fight Sports, Fox Sports Asia, and our other broadcast partners such as Astro, ABS-CBN, plus all our digital platforms. We are now aired live or delayed in over 40 countries across the world, including 80 million homes in the USA.
“Our model is to bring the fans real fights and give our sponsors and partners maximum brand exposure. We are expecting over 1,000 visitors from overseas to ‘Roar of Singapore IV – The Night of Champions’, so we are also adding value to the tourism industry, this makes us the largest televised indoor sports broadcast from Singapore, perhaps even on the night of the 20th of April, the most viewed sports event in Asia. I am pleased we are having a very positive impact, but I still have a long way to go, and a lot more to achieve.”
Ringstar is gearing up for its April 20 show, ‘The Roar of Singapore IV – ‘Night of Champions’, to be held at the 10,000-seater Singapore Indoor Stadium. The event is headlined by Singapore’s Muhamad “The Chosen Wan” Ridhwan”, who will be going up against Filipino boxer Jeson Umbal.
