GETAFIGHT FOR FANS EmailAlerts Every fan will receive notification when their favorite boxer is fighting. Each fan has their favorite fighter that they are passionate about tracking. They want to be reminded with a text message on their cell phone two hours before he fights on television so they won't miss it. InphoMail, a new wireless email product, dramatically expands its customers’ ability to exchange email and text messages using a cell phone. Fans will be able to customize EmailAlerts by fighter, weight class, or topic. The service will help them follow coverage regarding specific fighters, boxing subjects, or people or subjects of interest. Subscribers can customize the service to receive immediate notification for each alert or a daily or a weekly email digest of alerts. Access to "FightersScrapbook" Fans only care about specific fighters, specific weight classes, and fighters in certain countries. They don't want to scroll every news story in dozens of boxing sites (which takes hours) to find all the articles. The editor's choices at these sites, in any event, are seldom their choices. There is never a sorting option. At the "FightersScrapbook," they will be able to read ALL articles about that fighter from all over the world that day, with access to archives. For fans with preferences for boxing articles also by weight class or country, they will be offered options to customize their reading -- sorting by weight class, geographically, etc. Subscribing fans will be able to use FightersOnline.com as their email address, and will be encouraged to do so. JohnDoe@FightersOnline.com will have a strong appeal to the pay-per-view fight crowd. Opponent Preferences It's their page. It will be emphasized to them that their opinions will strongly influence the fighters in choosing opponents to challenge and challenges to accept. It will also influence fights chosen by promoters at MadeFights.com. They will be empowered with the information that through polling, they will have the effect of a manager on the matchmaking and location of boxing shows. They will receive real-time results of cumulative polling on opponent options. Their opponent preferences will be ranked, and they will know their polled opinions will be carefully analyzed and tabulated. This is a very good method for gathering polling data, email addresses, and tracking the geographical location of fans for promoters and venues subscribing to MadeMatches.com. Surfing Fans will enjoy surfing GetAFight. Millions of fans are fanatical about certain fighters. They invariably have strong convictions and a tendency to Monday morning quarterback for days after every fight. They will spend a lot of time at their favorite fighters' fan pages using the features. They are the pay-per-view crowd. Fighter's Fan Page Each fighter will have his own fan page. Fans can link to it from his homepage which contains his picture, record, and personal data. At his Fighter's Fan Page, fans can interact in the chat room, buy fighter-specific merchandise, watch videos, and listen to interviews. They can email their opinions on past fights to the fighter and his management, express their preferences on prospective opponents and career strategy, a form of fantasy career management. Then they can then link to what will be every fight fan's dream daily magazine, the Fighter's Scrapbook. Prizes As an incentive to participate in their "management skills" polling, prizes will be awarded to fans with remarkable scores in games designed to evaluate their skill in picking the winner of fights. Videos Fans will want to watch past fights of their favorite fighters and those of potential opponents, as well as any good fights they've missed. Ardent fans will, through repeated viewing of past fights, be a source of significant residual revenue to fighters. Personal Library - Bookmarking Fans can develop their own fighter scrapbook of sports articles and fight videos, email them to friends, develop a personal fight film library. This would further add to the fighter's residual earnings and retirement income. Merchandise At the Fighter's Fan Page, his fans can buy his caps, jackets, T-shirts, or autographed memorabilia, especially after he won a great fight. |
