UFC #1 Heavyweight Contender – Shane Carwin

Denver, CO (Vocus) March 25, 2010

Malibu Boats welcomes the UFC’s No. 1 Heavyweight Contender, Shane Carwin, to the Malibu Boats family. A huge fan of Malibu Boats, Carwin is pumped to bring the Malibu brand of fun and performance to the Mixed Martial Arts Octagon. Malibu Boats reciprocates this admiration as fans of Carwin’s integrity and determination as much as his 11-0 record. Carwin is looking to punch-up his wakeboarding with his family this summer behind his new Wakesetter VLX. But, before that can happen Malibu Boats will be pulling for Carwin, in a different way, as he fights for the Interim Heavyweight Title against Frank Mir March 27th at UFC 111.

UFC 111

Wearing the Malibu Boats name, Carwin will enter the Octagon with Frank Mir on March 27th in Newark, New Jersey to decide the Interim Heavyweight Title at UFC 111. Carwin will draw on his 11 and 0 MMA career experience to defeat Mir, a 2-time UFC Heavyweight Champion. Success in that arena will pit Carwin against the UFC’s only other fighter to wear 4XL gloves, current UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar.

When asked why he chose Malibu Boats, Carwin responded with this statement, “My family and I love being on the lake and spending time together. We all ski, wakeboard and just enjoy the water. When looking for a boat I wanted a brand that worked as hard as I do to be the best. Malibu is not only the best performing boat they are the only boats good enough for my family and me.”

Carwin’s record is extremely impressive, but not the only reason Malibu is so excited about this new relationship. Just like the other talented individuals that make-up the Malibu Boats Family, Carwin is as strong on character and determination as he is fierce in the Octagon.

Paul Singer, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Malibu Boats, had this to say about the addition of Carwin to the Malibu Crew. “Shane has a level of dedication that is impressive whether it revolves around his family, his sport or his fans so he made an immediate impression on us in the cage and out. Singer continued, “The fact that he has dreamed of owning a Malibu boat and wanted to bring us in the Octagon was icing on the cake. Both vessels of extreme performance, strength and precision, Shane and his new Wakesetter VLX create a strong team.”

Carwin fulfilled his mother’s goal for he and his brother, two times over, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering and a second degree in Environmental Technology. Carwin was also National Runner-Up Heavyweight in NCAA Division II Wrestling two years running and NCAA II Wrestling Heavyweight National Champion in 1999. In his spare time he managed to become a two-time All-American in football. He was focused on family and driven then. He remains that way today.

Carwin works as an Engineer as he pursues his Mixed Martial Arts career with UFC, but his devotion still lies with family. Carwin’s wife Lani, his son Kamden and their new baby girl Alexia remain the priorities in his life. They are all looking forward to a fun summer in their 2010 Wakesetter VLX from Tommy’s Slalom Shop in Denver, Colorado. Malibu Boats will keep you updated on Carwin and his family as they wakeboard and have great times in their Malibu boat this summer.

About Malibu Boats: Build the best boat possible, give boat owners the best value and enjoy the workplace. Since Malibu Boats’ inception in 1982 the mission has been this simple. On the journey from building 100 custom ski boats a year in a small shop, to 19 Boat of the Year Awards and their standing as the world’s number one selling wakeboard and water ski boats, Malibu has become an exemplary American boat company.

London, UK (PRWEB) January 30, 2012

Digital TV Advice are proud to announce that UK viewers on Sky Digital, BT Vision, Top Up TV and Freeview, will be benefit from free ESPN .The free viewing period runs from 6am on Friday 3rd until 6am on Monday 6th Feb and covers ESPN and ESPN America as well as their respective HD versions (ESPN Classic is not included).

The line-up for the weekend should have something for everyone as it features the Fulham v Man City Barclays Premier League game on the Saturday, a good selection of European games and then in the early hours of Sunday a welterweight boxing special from Vegas between Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit. In fact football fans are advised to stock up on the goodies and make themselves very comfortable on the Saturday as following on from the Fulham Man City game at 4.30pm is the Italian Serie A match between giants Roma and Inter Milan at 7.45.

Other European highlights include AC Milan v Napoli on the Sunday night and Nuremberg v Dortmund in the Bundesliga to kick off the weekend at 7.30 on the Friday night.

While dwarfed by the breadth and popularity of Sky Sports, ESPN is seen by fans as a very desirable extra but it needs to be bought as an add-on to a Sky TV package for £ a month or taken on Freeview by signing up to Top Up TV and paying a monthly fee (which can be done by the month with no long contract if you prefer). Virgin Media is slightly different – they have 3 levels of TV service, M+, L and XL and ESPN comes included on XL (possibly why they are not taking part in this promotion).

With more Barclays Premier League, FA Cup games and UEFA Europa League matches coming up in February the hope is that fans will enjoy the freebie so much they’ll be tempted enough to subscribe – here are the key listings for the free weekend (although subject to change):

Fri 3rd Feb :

19:30 – LIVE Bundesliga: Nuremberg v Dortmund

Sat 4th Feb:

01:00 – LIVE NBA New York @ Boston

16.30 – LIVE Barclays Premier League: Manchester City v Fulham

19:45 – LIVE Serie A: Roma v Inter

Sun 6th Feb:

03:00 – LIVE UFC 143 Condit v Diaz

11:30 – LIVE Serie A: Genoa v Lazio

13:45 – LIVE Serie A: Fiorentina v Udinese

16:45 – LIVE Bundesliga: Kaiserslauern v Cologne

19:15 – LIVE Serie A: AC Milan v Napoli

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 16, 2009

Donovan Craig, who has served as editor-in-chief of FIGHT! Magazine since the publication’s debut in 2007, has been promoted to President of FIGHT! Media. Along with continuing his responsibilities at the magazine, Craig will now oversee FIGHT!’s overall strategy in all of its various new ventures, which include a number of film, television, and Internet projects currently in development.

“Under Donovan’s leadership as editor-in-chief, FIGHT! Magazine has redefined mixed martial arts publishing,” says Eddy Kleid, Co-President of Bluff Media, FIGHT!’s parent company. “We are confident that he will have a similar impact as the President of FIGHT! Media.”

In less than three years, Craig, a former boxer and stockbroker, has guided FIGHT! Magazine to become the most popular and influential mixed martial arts monthly in the world.

Craig also has written extensively for the magazine and has traveled all over the world to chronicle the history and remarkable expansion of MMA. Along with a widely-praised three-part series on the origins of mixed martial arts in Brazil, he has written a first-person account of his own career as an amateur fighter (culminating in his first fight in Las Vegas) and traveled to a U.S. Army base in Iraq for a groundbreaking MMA event. He will continue to write regularly for FIGHT! “Donovan is a world-class journalist and the man responsible for turning FIGHT! into the best MMA magazine in the world,” says Jorge Guimaraes, Brazilian television host, Black House gym owner, and manager of UFC champions Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
