MANSIONPOKER.NET Cosponsors Holyfield vs. Bates

MANSIONPOKER.NET took on sponsorship with Fox Sports Net at a major sporting event this summer. And when four-time world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield stepped into the ring to meet Jeremy Bates in his quest for a history-making fifth heavyweight title, the MANSIONPOKER.NET logo was prominently displayed along all four sides of the canvas and the corner pads behind each of the two prize fighters during their August 18 clash in Dallas.

"Our continued exploration of sports sponsorships demonstrates our respect for the sporting ideal, and we understand that poker players are by their nature equally fanatical about sports of all sorts," said MANSIONPOKER.NET Chief Operating Officer David Kinsman. "We are proud to be associated with top competitors by sponsoring prestigious events around the globe."

The Holyfield vs. Bates non-title bout was aired on Fox Sports Net, live from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on Friday, August 18 at 10:30 p.m. EDT/7:30 p.m. PDT. Veteran announcer Barry Tompkins and analyst Rich Marotta were ringside, while Sean O'Grady provided post-fight interviews.

For Holyfield, the bout with Bates was his first ring appearance in 21 months, and the first in a series of fights to regain the heavyweight title.
