BPA ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT WITH ROUND1

In yet another meaningful development by the Boxing Promoters Association, the organization has announced that they have entered into a long-term distribution agreement with ROUND1 Magazine. Beginning this summer, ROUND1 will be distributed directly and for free, to boxing fans at events promoted by members of the Boxing Promoters Association. Steve Farhood, boxing analyst for Showtime and winner of the 2008 Boxing Writers Association of America’s James J. Walker Award for Long and Meritorious Service, will serve as the Editor-at-Large, supplying featured content to the publication, while world-renowned photographer Howard Schatz has been named the magazine’s cover photographer. Schatz will also be sharing images from his upcoming blockbuster book, AT THE FIGHTS.

“We are very excited about our agreement we have entered into with ROUND1 magazine, especially that it gives us the opportunity to give something back to each and every fan that attends one of our events,” stated Joe DeGuardia, President of the BPA. “They have really put together an all-star team with Farhood and Schatz, two of the best in the business, and we know the product’s quality will speak for itself.”

“I’m extremely excited about working with the BPA to bring ROUND1 to the masses,” says Lamar Clark, founder of Clark Creative Media, Inc. who first published ROUND1 in 2007. “Fight fans deserve a treat for their passionate following and this arrangement gives them just that. BPA members add value to their events and our audience of mostly sports-enthused men, leave the arena with a piece of memorabilia.”
