[QUOTE]Originally posted by coalkickin: [QB] A bit more about "Never Submit" ....Additionally, Imperia announced that Cindy Ortiz, who has written for top MMA online magazines, including MMA Weekly (http://www.mmaweekly.com/) and MMA Fighting (http://www.mmafighting.com/) will be a producer for the movie. Ms. Ortiz will serve as a liaison between Imperia Entertainment and the MMA world. Ms. Ortiz has close relationships with several organizations, as well as fighters, and brings a wealth of knowledge about the sport. She has been an advocate for the sport since the mid '90s when Senator McCain spearheaded a campaign to have it banned from North America. Since then both the Nevada and New Jersey athletic commissions have sanctioned the sport. Ms. Ortiz comments: "I feel that this is a project that will appeal to MMA fans not only in North America, but all over the world. It is a pleasure to be involved." "Never Submit" is a movie which portrays the thrill of victory and agony of defeat within the sport. The story is set in a tournament setting similar to the movie "Bloodsport" but rather than exploiting the sport as underground no-holds-barred fighting, it seeks to portray the sport in a realistic and positive light. The movie will be an inspirational tale similar to "Rocky." Unlike "Rocky" the lead character is an educated young man, rather than a beaten-down punch-drunk fighter. Mr. Hergott comments: "MMA is a very intellectual sport. A physical chess match. I want to portray the sport and its fighters as intelligent rather than dumb brawlers, as is often done in other movies." MMA is an emerging sport, which has already gained huge acceptance in Asia and looks poised to explode into the mainstream in North America. Indeed, several landmarks have recently occurred within the sport of MMA. For example, Marc Ratner, who served with the Nevada State Athletic Commission since 1984, and as its Executive Director for the last 13 years, recently left his job to join the UFC. In his new position he will seek to attain sanctioning of the sport in additional states. Also, the UFC held its first event in California at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim on April 15th. The event quickly sold out all 18,000 seats in two days and was the fastest sell-out event in UFC history and brought in a $9 million US gate. A similar event is scheduled for May 27th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. The sport is also gaining exposure on television. The IFL recently signed a distribution deal with Fox Sports Net for their first event in April, and the UFC just extended its content deal with Spike TV. The UFC's MMA-based reality show "The Ultimate Fighter" is the top rated-series for Spike TV, formerly called "the network for guys." Season #1 (13 weeks) of "The Ultimate Fighter" averaged a 1.7 HH rating (1.5 million) with a 2.0 (1,015,000) in M18-49, a 2.4 (604,000) in M18-34, and an average audience of 2.1 million viewers. The 3rd "Ultimate Fighter" season premiered April 6th, 2006 as the most-watched original series premiere in Spike TV History. It drew record ratings for the network and out-delivered anything else in television in its timeslot in the hard-to-reach demographic of Men 18-34. The 90-minute premiere also out-delivered major competition on cable including the NBA on TNT (Pistons vs. Heat and Lakers vs. Nuggets) and USA Networks' coverage of The Masters. [/QB][/QUOTE]
