FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 6, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- 247MGI Inc. ("247MGI") (OTCBB:TOFS), 247MGI announced today that it will begin pre-production of "In This Corner" hosted by the voice of boxing, Jeff "DeFo" Deforest. The show will feature guests from the world of professional championship boxing past and present. "In This Corner" will be a half hour in duration and will broadcast from Las Vegas on The Las Vegas Network featuring fighters in the spotlight.
Matt Dwyer, 247MGI's CEO said, "We are very fortunate to have this opportunity to produce this exciting show. 'DeFo' has at least a quarter century under his belt covering hundreds of top-notch boxing events. Jeff has worked with top flight promoters such as Don King Productions, Showtime and Warriors Boxing, (www.warriorsboxing.com) and he has decades of sports radio experience nationally as well as being the voice of the Miami Dolphins in south Florida. Jeff's show can be heard on WSBR 790 AM and is simulcast via the Internet at www.790theticket.com." Matt added, "We are delighted to have Jeff on the 247MGI's team."
"My generation loved watching the Friday night fights huddled around the black and white Philco television in the living room. I can remember the excitement of friends, family, the smell of cigars and cheering for our favorite prize fighter, taking small jabs, bobbing and weaving while seated at the edge of the couch," said DeForest.
DeFo added, "Today's generation still emulates that feeling of excitement. Fight fans from around the world gather for top flight boxing in Las Vegas, the Mecca of professional prize fighting. My desire is to bring the same energizing feeling to our show. I hope to get to the truth of boxing while bringing out that little kid in all of us with our fun filled show. The Philco TV and the cigar smoke in the living room is just a memory but one thing is for sure, what happens inside and outside the ring is still the same."
