Bodog Extreme Fighting Pay-Per-View Celebrity Event at Vancouver's PnE Agrodome

Dec 2, 2006

By Catherine Barr

 

BodogFight is a mixed martial arts (MMA) reality series created by billionaire Bodog.com Entertainment Group Founder and Vancouver businessman Calvin Ayre. Earlier this month, the PNE Agrodome played host to the live pay-per-view season one finale of Team USA vs. the Russian elite fighters "The Red Devils". Over 41 millions viewers tuned in live to see Bif Naked, and other Bodog recording artists, introduce the eight bout event which included an exclusive VIP red carpet pre-party featuring local tv stars and personalities.

Elimination battles, behind-the-scenes training, interviews with
fighters, a soundtrack featuring Bodog Music artists, and lifestyle
segments composed the weekly one-hour BodogFight episodes, with the finale leading into the PPV main event December 2 in Vancouver, British
Columbia.


Filming for BodogFight: Season II -- USA vs. The World is scheduled to begin in mid-December in the city of St. Petersburg,
Russia.

Bodog.com, with its head office located in the Caribbean nation of
Antigua, is licensed in the United Kingdom and Kahnawake, Canada.
Bodog.com Entertainment Founder Calvin Ayre, recognized as a world
authority on branding in digital entertainment, was featured on the
cover of Forbes magazine's recent best-selling "Billionaires" issue.
