Alpha Omega
Boxing & MMA's Newest Promoter
SANDWICH, Mass. (March 13, 2006) - Cape
Cod-based sports marketing veteran Hank Tuohy and
businessman Dino Mitrokostas have teamed to form Alpha
Omega Entertainment Group, Inc., the newest promoter of
professional boxing and mixed martial arts shows.
Tuohy has valuable experience as a
promoter (Tuohy Sports & Entertainment) of three ESPN2
pro boxing cards, while Mitrokostas owns several
businesses including a popular restaurant/sports bar on
Cape Cod. Dino also produces a sports comedy about two
ultimate sports fans, Regular Joes, soon-to-be-aired on
the Fox Sports network.
Together, Tuohy and Mitrokostas represent
a new breed of "fight" promoter, one combining
sports and entertainment through event marketing and cross
promotions.
"We're a different promoter because
we don't promote fighters, nor do we want to promote
fighters; Alpha Omega promotes events," Tuohy
explained Alpha Omega's promotional philosophy. "We
can pick and choose fighters, working with the best
promoters in the boxing and mixed martial arts industries
to keep their fighters busy. We also want to give free
agent fighters more opportunities to work. Because of our
television contacts, fighters on our shows will be well
paid and receive valuable exposure.
"We understand that fight fans paying
for seats have to receive equal entertainment value.
Fights are the most important part of the night, but not
the entire show, and our shows will transcend sports. I
want people leaving our show to be talking about what a
great night they had and asking when our next show is
scheduled. Boxing and mixed-martial-arts shows will
provide tremendous cross marketing opportunities for our
sponsors. Anywhere from 1,500 to 5,000 people will see
their products up front and personal at the event and
countless other eyes will be watching it on television.
Our shows will be great interactive promotions for
sponsors."
Alpha Omega is a licensed promoter at
Mohegan Sun and in Massachusetts. It also plans to promote
shows in New Orleans and Florida. Other team members
include boxing historian Mike DeLisa and international
matchmaker Johnny Bos.
