Southern California promotion Fight Club OC is offering its fights online for $4.99. The local promotion’s success has given itself a reason to try to expand to a broader audience.
Fight Club OC offers monthly boxing and MMA bouts in a small, but well-attended venue in Costa Mesa, California.

“After just four shows in 2011 the buzz surrounding the launch of Fight Club OC has been tremendous,” said (Fight Club OC promoter Roy) Englebrecht. “We have more media covering the shows than ever before, our 10 All Inclusive VIP Suites are sold out, we have our largest number of merchandise vendors ever, and our Fight Club OC Outdoor Cigar Lounge was packed the whole night, so I made the decision that this unique night of fight action needs to be available to fight fans all over the world, and we decided to launch Fight Club OC TV and boy did we ever pick the right night.”
Payout Perspective:
This is the next step for regional promotions. Fight Club OC’s use of the internet is a good way of broadening its audience. Even if you aren’t in Southern California, you can watch fights online and for a reasonable price. For Fight Club OC, if the online fights are successful, it could look to sell advertising and/or sponsorship for Fight Club OC TV.
