    Sony announces PlayStation deal with Top Rank

    This is going to be sick.. Must be nice to have a PS4...

    Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) today announced they are the official gaming partner of Top Rank Boxing, the PlayStation brand and the PlayStation4 system (PS4) will be highlighted at several of Top Rank’s premier events, including the highly anticipated world welterweight championship rematch between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley on Saturday. In addition, the PlayStation brand will be integrated into the June 7 pay-per-view match-up at Madison Square Garden between three-division champ Miguel Cotto and reigning middleweight champ Sergio Martinez. Additional events to feature PlayStation integration include the May 17 bout between Juan Manuel Marquez and Mike Alvarado at the Forum in Los Angeles and several UniMas events.

    “We are thrilled to be the Official Gaming Partner of Top Rank, a brand that celebrates greatness by promoting some of the best boxers in the sport today matched up in the most exciting, epic bouts,” said Guy Longworth, SVP, PlayStation Brand Marketing at SCEA. “This new partnership will generate exposure for the PlayStation brand among boxing fans that Top Rank reaches around the world.” The PlayStation brand will be featured through in-arena branding, trailer spots during event broadcasts in the United States, integration across Top Rank’s social and digital channels and more.

    “With the successful launch of PS4, PlayStation is a very compelling brand among gamers around the world,” said Lucia McKelvey, EVP of Global Marketing, Top Rank. “This partnership is a perfect opportunity for two leading brands to join forces and capitalize on the excitement and global attention surrounding the sport of boxing and Top Rank’s premier events.”

            Why not just connect your desktop/laptop to the TV?

              If you can get out on the internet I don't see why not. Not unless there some settings or SW that might need to be installed.. I don't own a PS4..

                i could do that, but I was talking in terms of buying a fight. But for Top Rank fights, I can buy it online anyways

                I was hoping they'd give like a discount on the PS4 like Tecate gives rebates

                    Can we watch events? It will be nice if they did PPV on Netflix as well. You would think that it would already be available.
