WBC LIVE
+

1. World Boxing Council is a veritable heavyweight in the realm of professional boxing with over 1M fans on Instagram and Facebook, respectively.
2. Pre-fight publicity on an all-combat, 24/7 global channel is very compelling, especially pre-bout fighter interviews, press conferences, and weigh-ins.
3. Fight fans around the world can tune in to the WBC LIVE Channel free on any connected device.
4. Event commentary may be multilingual (American English + local dialect).
5. WBC LIVE is the only platform that streams select events in Ultra HD (4K), thus filling a void of 4K sports entertainment.
6. WBC Consortium is a philosophy of all for one and one for all, a juxtaposition to the competitive nature of vying for titles and belts.

A minimum of eight (8) weeks is preferred so as not only to adequately publicize an event, but also to canvass for sponsors, as well as to organize local production crew and notify terrestrial broadcast syndicates. 

• Event details:
  • Title;
  • Date;
  • Time;
  • Description;
• Bout sheet;
• Fighters’ stats, high resolution photos, and social profiles;
• Poster artwork in specified format/s;
• Archive footage;

Promoters will be granted a portion of broadcast ad inventory for each event to sell to local businesses, proceeds from which shall be split with VIVE Network.

Any in-venue sponsorship will also be more lucrative due to the global exposure streaming on WBC LIVE Channel provides. Promoters and VIVE will coordinate available in-venue inventory to be sold on a rev share basis.

Promoters pay for the pre-determined production costs. NB: All rental and labour is billed ‘at cost’ (ie. VIVE applies zero markup).

Down to a science: VIVE has developed a cost-effective workflow that eliminates the need for satellite trucks and on-premise commentators, therefore allowing for a minimal footprint at venues and backhauling to a central studio that packages and prepares streams for distribution in real-time to all devices globally.

Combat athletes are encouraged to leverage the Combat Sports Zone x VIVE community to boost fan affinity and crowdsource funds for their purses, thereby alleviating some of the financial pressure on promoters.

VIVE Network will recruit, and manage on-location crew, remote production staff, as well as additional remote (language) commentators.

Either HD HDR or UHD HDR, depending upon the bandwidth available at the venue. Spectators will enjoy the events in the highest resolution of which their device(s) is (are) capable.

Yes, event replays will be available exclusively in VIVE’s suite of native mobile and connected TV apps. VIVE reserves the right to offer fight card replays in entirety and/or as individual bouts.

In rare cases when a fight card featuring (a) title fight(s) is offered Pay-Per-View, replays may be sold at a Pay-Per-View price slightly lower than the live ticket prices, subject to agreement. Otherwise, promoters will have the ability to showcase non-title fights on their web channels for free relatively soon after the live PPV.

As a media company and advocate for promoters, combat athletes, and combat sports, VIVE will continually strive to secure as many third-party distributors for events and replays as possible; thus, it is imperative for VIVE to retain perpetual rights to events streamed on its platform.

That said, any post-event transmission (eg. Youtube) or sales initiated or negotiated by promoter must be approved by VIVE in writing.

Promoters will have exclusive financial responsibility for:

• venue hire;
• security;
• ring rental;
• lighting;
• ring announcer;
• poster artwork;
• weigh-in;
• physicians;
• sanctioning;
• judges;
• purses;
• on-premise Internet bandwidth;
