The Fight Network Newsletter: December 2006
Hello Fight Fans,
Well, 2006 is quickly coming to an end, bringing a time to reflect on the year gone by and what lies a head. I can ensure all our readers that if I and our dedicated team have our way about it, 2007 will be a year to remember here and The Fight Network …
As I have said in past issues, ring the bell and let's get to it!
The Fight Network is very pleased to welcome our latest cable partner, Shaw Cable, on board. Shaw now carries The Fight Network on channel 149.
For a complete list of all other cable and satellite systems that carry “us” log onto www.thefightnetwork.com. When you do, you’ll notice right away that we are indeed coast-to-coast across the great white north!
That’s right. The Fight Network has, in a little over one year, gotten our channel up across all Cable, Satellite and IPTV systems in Canada. For that we say “thank you” to all who have passionately supported us, and acted on your need to see… “All Fights, All the Time.”
To celebrate this milestone, and the holidays as a whole, The Fight Network is offering all of our newsletter subscribers a 15% discount code to purchase anything you like in our shop zone. Gifts for your friends, family members, whoever. And yes, that includes the ‘Get it On” thongs!
Here is the discount code TFN20067 enjoy!
Now I'm sure some of our US and international newsletter subscribers are wondering “When, oh when, will I get to see 'All Fights All The Time' like they do in Canada?” I can ensure you all that we are working on it, we have been meeting with different providers from around the world. We have built, and continue developing ways to transmit our signal. Not to get too technical here, sorry about that. I’m just really looking forward to a great 2007!
On the programming side of things, December marks the return of our very popular K-1 series as we get set to roll out all new episodes beginning the week of Dec 18th with a K-1 marathon. Check your listings for more details.
News coverage will be big again this month as we will be on location, and in our studios, breaking down TNA Wrestling's PPV event Turning Point on December 10th. Our own Dan Lovranski and Jason Agnew from Live Audio Wrestling provide their take on what you will see from this event. From there, it’s off to the Mohegan Sun for coverage of the IFL World Team Championship Final on Dec 29th, and then its another jaunt to “Sin City” and the MGM Grand for UFC 66, Liddell vs. Ortiz on Dec 30th. The Fight Network’s own JT McCarthy, Loretta Hunt and Randy Couture provide the expert insight for what promisesto be the biggest UFC event of the year.
Fight Network will also be bringing you coverage of Pride FC "'Shockwave 2006” from Japan, as Fight Network's MMA analyst Frank Trigg will give us another installment of "Trigg's Take" after this event.
*Note: TNA Turning Point PPV (December 10th) UFC 66 on (December 30th) and Pride FC Shockwave on (December 31st) can all be seen on Viewers choice Canada for more details visit www.viewerschoice.ca
Speaking of PPV events The Fight Network’s Fight Night is presenting another PPV event in Canada that will air this coming Saturday (December 9th) on Viewers choice, Icon Sport “Unstoppable” featuring The Fight Network’s own MMA analyst Frank Twinkle Toes Trigg. That’s right, the former number-one U.F.C. welterweight contender, is back. And he's hoping to stop the Mayhem. Trigg will square off with Jason Mayhem Miller for the Icon Sport World Middleweight Title. This will be Mayhem's first title defense in the middleweight division. Other matches include Jay Jack vs. Sydney Silva, Jamiah Williamson vs. Jeremy Williams, and Mark Oshiro takes on undefeated up-and-comer Tyson Nam for the Icon Sport State Bantamweight (135lbs)
If you want to know more about this event before you order, catch the Icon Sport special we are running all this week on the The Fight Network. For broadcast times, check out www.thefightnetwork.com
Touching again on our “special” analysts and contributors who have been inside the cage or ring like Frank Trigg, our newly introduced TOUGH TALK “Where the Pros speak their minds” section is really heating up on our website with the addition of some more great personalities who want a forum to speak their minds.
This month in addition to Diego "Chico" Corrales “Chico’s Corner”, we also welcome Lance Storm with a weekly column called “Storm Watch” and TNA wrestler Johnny Devine with “Devine Intervention”. Be sure to check out each one of these columns for a unique perspective on their respective sports and look for more celebrity writers to be joining the ranks of TOUGH TALK in the New Year.
In closing this has been an amazing year and a terrible year all at the same time … as I wish to once again extend our thoughts and prayers out to the entire Bennett family who lost a great man when Ryan Bennett, our on-air personality and News Director passed away in May in a auto accident. I encourage you all to logo onto www.mmaweekly.com over the next year to see all the great things that fighters have been donating to an eBay fund raiser for such a wonderful person who did so much for the sport in such a short period of time.
We truly miss you Ryan…
I would also like to take this time to wish all of you, and your families, a healthy and safe season, and all the best in 2007.
May you find happiness in whatever you seek….
Until the next round,
Kind Regards,
Mike Garrow President The Fight Network Inc.

I think the only people interested in the newsletter, are the share holders of bkmp. There's not any publicity about tfn anywhere outside of Canada.

Good call! The shareholders are probably the only people who subscribe to the letter.

I agree, most people in the USA that are not shareholders have not heard of TFN yet. BUT, they will, and it will be popular. It's the number one cable station in Canada and it's totally got a sellable product. A lot more valuable than some of the channels we have here now. Anyway, the hype alone from a USA deal will boost the PPS, so get in or don't be part of it.
"I’ll just paraphrase the line from ROCKY when Mr. Gazzo says, “Some people just hate for no reason.” So the only thing they may hate worse than me is actually waking up every morning and knowing they’re still stuck in their depressive brain space. A fly sitting on a pile of cow **** thinks himself a king, so keep the turds rolling. It has no effect." - Sylvestor Stallone

Chill out Andrew, some shareholders have legitimate concerns on some topics with the company such as what is the exact current sharecount? why is the TA GAGGED? why has there been no updated on the buyback? the buyback idea just went away...for all we know BKMP could have stopped the buyback and issued MORE shares!
TFN is on the move we just need to focus and know as shareholders what exactly BKMP is doing.
and when shareholders get frustrated over a company they have ownership in and express it then someone in the company needs to produce answers.

Hey, all I know is I would really appreciate it if everyone here would just take one request from me. That if I'm ever on a stock board of a stock I don't own, saying how bad it is, and have no vested interest in or ownership in, somebody hunt me down and shoot me in the knee caps, because it will be official... I will be at the point where I have no life. Wow.... LOL

in pennies you buy high and sell higher. sure everyone wants to get in on the major runs, but how often does one catch it? usually some of the largest gainers are ones completely off the radar. the MM know which stocks are being played and have the most attention so obvisouly their profit is well off easy shorting. heck all you have to do if you are a MM is go to the boards and see the most discussed stock and then short it and watch everyone average down and take their money. i used to be like that know i learned slow and steady gains win the market. to win in the market is not how much you gain its how little you lose (if you get what i meant)
i see it every day..people talk about "averaging down" or "doubling their position" when it tanks...yeah great idea in my opinion. sure we all want to load up...but too many put all their chickens in one basket. i only have a million shares in BKMP and thats all i need if its truly going where everyone says it is. i just need a couple grand to move on to the next play and so on. some people have over 50 million shares in BKMP...i hope they make it well i just wouldnt do it. BKMP has not come to the table with enough for me to buy that many shares. the only thing we have going on right now in BKMP is forcasted success based off of a great market tapping wonder. sounds good...but it hasnt happened to the point we need it to be yet. just because it should happen doesnt mean it will. ive been trading pinkins since 2004 and though not that long it is long enough to realize that hope is the LAST thing you bet on in this market.
i could make a long long list of companies where people got burned and i can admit i did on some too. look at QBID...everyone was throwing around how big the market was..the gay population is a very wealthy market to tap into. people were waiting for the "big launch" or "big PR" and it never came. people "averaged down" into a death spiraling PPS...loading millions and millions while it tanked...and the ones who warned against buying more were slammed. IBZT...anyone remember them? the great virtual keyboard that all it had to do was launch in the US and the PPS would fly north...again another example of everyone averaging down into .000's and holding the bag.
WNMI...warning models is one i lost on, oh does anyone remember USCI? all they needed was that patent to sell the steam recovery to oil companies...another one people averaged down by buying millions of shares.
anyhow....ive heard that if you put 5,000 dollars in the market..and you make a 10% profit each month..thats all you need is 10% then in 5 years that 5,000 will be over a million. i am betting it is true, although i have not sat down with a calculator myself and done the math.
anyway..this is just what i believe in, and i know other things work for other people. in my 3 years of trading i have learned quiet a lot. i learned that most of the time buying big into a pink and hoping for the big bang theory is not profitable continuously. im not saying it doesnt work..just to me not anything consistent, and when you lose you lose BIG time. what i learned was quick plays, and for me not to hold anything more than 2 weeks. if there is no action in 2 weeks then sell even if its a loss...at least its not a major one. if i hold anything longer than 2 weeks then im stuck staring at message boards hoping for some glimmering becon of hopefull rumors...which is pretty sad and i didnt like being like that...lol
have a good weekend....im signing off and grabbin a beer out of the fridge, and im going to go outside in the sun and enjoy this warm winter day.

For a dude that only has a "million shares" you are spending too much time over-thinking BKMP. I have 50 million free shares averaged down to .0003 and *I* am not even sweating this stock. I KNOW it will run next year with the right PR. ANYONE who doesn't think it will run should move on and find something else to gamble on.

over thinking BKMP? im merely putting thoughts over time together into one post. it probably will run next year..but saying you KNOW it will run is jumping the gun. you never KNOW what is going to happen with these stocks unless there is some sort of fraud uncovered and they are going under.

7 paragraphs is over-thinking. People are getting too emotional over this sub-penny stock. If you have ANY QUESTION AT ALL that BKMP will run next year, you should take your money and run. Surrender this thread to the believers.

I'm just trying to help the guy out. He appears to be tortured by this stock. You should never invest in a stock that drives you to write 7 paragraphs of insecurity... and the dude only has a million shares. Imagine if he REALLY had something to lose.

max, seriously...why do i bother you so much.
first of all..me only having a million shares is something you repeatedly bring up...for which i dont see why. then..what is so wrong for a shareholder regardless of how many shares he has to contemplate ongoing issues?
i hate it when someone who put money into a company and expresses concern gets singled out by someone or a group because how dare he ever question the company.
max...i would have expected a reply from you along the lines of "cashcow those are some legit concerns you have and id like to know the answer to some of those questions as well" or perhaps you WOULD have some answers to reply with.
not..."oh my god you only have a million shares and look how many paragraphs you wrote in this thread" "oh my god you should just...just get into another stock or leave"
seriously man....you think IM the emotional one in this stock
lol

Dude, seriously, I was just trying to help you out. I REALLY don't give a crap how many bashers come here. NOBODY can convince me that BKMP won't go to .001 at least one more time, so I am not affected by any negativity toward this stock. Make 100 paragraph posts if it makes you feel better. I can't relate to that impulse. I will NEVER buy a stock that makes me feel that insecure. I suggest you sell and move on to a stock that you believe in, but as Tex says, you can do what you want.

Anybody else catch the MMA/UFC segment on 60 minutes last night. Nice to see them cover the sport rather than attack it per usual. They also talked about the International Fight League (IFLI) going public and even went as far as to mention the market cap, so if any of you guys are shareholders (I am not)today may be an up day for you......

I know there is MUCH more to come........BUT I believe that Canadian (full) coverage. Seriously improved programming...Improved affiliations with MMA stars...experienced new hires, Radio, retail,internet presence, PPV potential,......TFN BRAND growth......etc. etc. THIS IS WHAT IS!....not what is to come!!!! IT IS! If thats all there was it would more than justify the current pps and profits would be great....However, I must believe that $$$$ is being poured into GROWTH of the biz infrastructure and that the engine that will drive future growth is what will drive the price through the roof when the suitors arrive. I can wait for what will come but believe there is more than enough on our plate right now to justify a higher pps. JMHO
