Press Kits
Press Kits are the vehicle by which pre-fight promotional material is distributed to the working press covering the fight. The kit usually consists of a 9X12 in. binder with an illustrated cover. The cover illustration may be a duplicate of the programme cover, the poster or completely original artwork. The contents vary from fighters biographies, relavent stats, glossy photographs of the fighters and other printed press releases,etc.. The contents of the press kits vary so please inquire. There are two types of press kits on-site, which like an on-site programme or poster, had very limited production and distribution and closed circuit which were produced for wider distribution.
