March 29, 2022 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire --
B2Digital Incorporated (the “Company” or “B2Digital”) (OTCMKTS:
BTDG), the premier development league for mixed martial arts
(“MMA”), is excited to announce that the global metaverse debut of
the B2 Fighting Series (“B2FS”) on Saturday, March 26, surpassed
Company expectations, as did the live event in Dothan, Alabama,
which set a new B2FS record for total revenues generated at an
inaugural event in a new city.
In
addition to showcasing the B2FS in both the metaverse and in Dothan
for the first time, the Company also broke ground by distributing
bespoke non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) for the first time. More than
50 avatars were seen at the virtual B2FS 153 event wearing the
Company’s digital “B2 Fighter” avatar body design NFT
wearable.
The
Company will offer additional NFTs at upcoming events, including
branded digital goods, fight video clip NFTs, and other high-impact
digital marketing strategies to be introduced over coming months in
partnership with Metaskins Studios
(“Metaskins”).
“B2FS 153 was a tremendous way to kick off our
metaverse strategy, as well as an excellent debut in a new location
in the physical world,” stated Greg P. Bell, CEO and Chairman of B2
Digital. “We have already received hundreds of requests from new
fans about when our next metaverse event will take place. B2FS 153
broke new ground for the Company. It was also an important event in
terms of providing positive feedback about our brand growth
process: We set a new Company record for total sales in a new
market and saw a very strong turnout at the Aquarium Casino for our
virtual event, including far more demand for our B2 Fighter skin
digital wearable than we had been anticipating for a metaverse
event debut.”
B2FS 153 expanded the Company’s total
distribution platform to new breadth, with live in-person
attendance in Alabama and live in-person virtual attendance in
Vegas City, Decentraland, as well as streaming coverage over Apple
TV, Amazon Fire TV, and pay-per-view
(“PPV”).
Brandon ‘Hardrock’ Higdon, B2’s Matchmaker,
commented, “The B2 Fighting Series rose to new heights on Saturday
night, making a big splash virtually at The Aquarium Casino and in
front of a packed house in the real world at the Dothan City Civic
Center. The gem of the night was the highly anticipated Main Event,
which saw two warriors go the distance in a tight back-and-forth
battle that brought the crowd to its feet over and over again. In
the end, Chuka “The Lion King” Willis climbed to 11-6-0 over a very
game Nathan “Nasty” Williams in a hard-fought unanimous decision. A
new champ was also crowned as Stephen Owens put on a dominant
performance to write himself into the B2 Fighting Series history
books as the new reigning Amateur Flyweight Champ. But the fight of
the night had to be the Female Bantamweight battle between Mahogany
Gaines and Amanda Hedberg, who walked away with the decision. These
two female warriors showed the crowd what pure skill, heart, and
true grit look like in a cage.”
The
B2 Fighting Series will be back in action this weekend at B2FS 154
(April 2) at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan.
For those who missed out on any of the recent B2FS events, replays
are now available to watch on the B2 Fighting Series OTT
Apps: Apple TV
and Amazon
Fire.
