Iron Mike Productions Goes on Consecutive Weeks
By Steve Kim
On the next two Friday nights Iron Mike Productions will be staging fight cards. This week they are in Pittsburgh at the CONSOL Energy Center and then they make their way to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tulsa on November 21st. According to their Vice President and matchmaker, Chris Middendorf, both events will be televised.
For this promotion in 'the Steel City' which features an intra-city rivalry between lightweights Rod Salka and Monty Meza-Clay and welterweight hopeful, Sammy Vazquez, Middendorf explained:
"It'll be a group of regional sports networks and it's live on beIN Sports and then just because of the backlog of (Pittsburgh) Penguins games and everything else, it'll be delayed on ROOT (Sports Pittsburgh), they'll be having it in many of it's areas. They have a pretty good sized footprint."
ROOT Sports is a collection of regional sports networks that is owned DirecTV Sports Networks. Here is more info about ROOT Sports: ABOUT ROOT SPORTS - Official Website of ROOT SPORTS
As for the promotion in Tulsa which will feature the likes of Felix Diaz and the hard-hitting prospect, Ievgen Khytrov:
"We'll probably be in more live homes there because the problem with booking live on short notice like we've been doing is that they're already booked. So this will definitely be on beIN Sports and possibly some other networks, live, as well," stated Middendorf.
