(PRESS RELEASE) -- Lake of the Torches Resort Casino, the leading
gaming and hospitality resort for northern Wisconsin, in
conjunction with King of the Cage, announced today a multi-year
deal to continue to bring world-class, MMA, cage-fighting action to
the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
The recently signed, three year multi-fight deal includes three outdoor televised Pay-Per-View mega-shows in the summer months of 2010, 2011 and 2012, as well as a number of indoor shows to be held during the rest of the season, ensuring continuous action all year long. The next show, “King of the Cage: Turbulence II” is scheduled to be held inside the casino’s Hall of Nations convention center on April 24, 2010.
King of the Cage recently signed a three year contract to telecast
monthly “Mark Burnett Presents: King of the Cage” live events on
HDNet.
"Just as Mark Cuban said when the recent HDNet/King of the Cage deal was announced, ‘King of the Cage and Mark Burnett are pioneers in their respective fields’, and we are excited to renew our relationship with the King of the Cage brand as part of our commitment to being the home of MMA in Wisconsin," said Michael J. Broderick, Lake of the Torches’ Director of Marketing. "Wisconsin fans, as well as MMA fans across the country, have enjoyed our national Pay-Per-View shows and we knew that this was something we had to continue and grow with. With Mark Burnett now involved, we feel the quality of the shows and opportunities for local fighters and fans were too good to pass up!”
In their announcement of the HDNet deal, Mark Burnett remarked: “I am impressed with the quality of King of the Cage, and we look forward to bringing their brand to the next level in conjunction with Mark Cuban, who is one of the truly great entrepreneurs of media and sports."
