Who Will Rise To The Challenge?



Who Will Rise To The Challenge? 
Sweat, blood and adrenaline pump through AXN in The Challenger Muaythai 


Bangkok, 12 September 2011 - Muaythai is taking another important step towards world recognition with The Challenger Muaythai reality show, brought to you by AXN.

 Contender Asia was a huge success a few years ago, the same group is therefore now producing The Challenger Muaythai, with the name “muaythai” in the title. Under the supervision of the World Muaythai Council (WMC), the world governing body for the sport of muaythai, the reality competition series this time is set and shot in the beautiful Malaysia.

 Sixteen world class fighters, from all five continents, have been selected with much consideration. They will be fighting with their hearts and souls to become the Challenger and WMC World Champion, other than to receive the grand prize of 120,000 USD.




 Yodsanklai was the winner in Contender Asia, this time Thailand will be represented by King’s Cup Champion, Madsua. Amongst the celebrities are also former Contender Asia host and muaythai personality, the WMC Vice-President, Mr. Stephan Fox. He is once again the host of the series and, with his illustrious background, he is also the mentor of the fighters. Hosting the fight nights it will be the gorgeous Asian TV celebrity, Thai supermodel, Sonia Couling.

 From Europe to America, to Africa, Oceania and Asia, the fighters have an impressive track record, with some of them having already beaten the winner of the previous series, Yodsanklai, and the runner-up, John Wayne Parr.

 On a newly developed contest style, each week the fighters will be subjected to a rigid bout of training from the two selected coaches, which will revolve around the “weapon of the week”. Stephan Fox believes that this is a fundamental aspect of the show, as the audience will learn much about the principal aspects of muaythai techniques, but also have a clear view of its culture, the deep traditional rules and the spiritual aspects.

 Nothing on the planet has ever been able to bring you closer to the action. You will surely be on the edge of your seats. Watch out for the drama in the villa where the fights will be living, eating and sleeping, isolated from the outside world. There is no doubt you will be touched by their dreams and hopes that have brought them to be who they are today, moreover their desire to win the prize and fame which could change their lives forever.

 Each week one of the fighters will have to go home. The atmosphere in the fight arena is electrifying. Who will rise to the challenge and who will be the last man standing to merge as The Challenger WMC Champion? Who will overcome all the odds and walk away with 120,000 USD? The mentor of the show, Mr. Fox, states the obvious fact that there can be only one winner in the competition, but that the sport of muaythai is already a winner, since over 400 Million people will be watching, week by week, The Challenger Muaythai.

Enjoy the rise of The Challenger Muaythai!

MUAY THAI DILEMMA IN MALAYSIA

People in Malaysia think Muay Thai is violent and create violent society. People in Malaysia think Muay Thai should not be practiced in Malaysia because they come from Thailand (I wonder where does golf come from but it is played here). Sponsors think Muay Thai fans have no buying power because this sport is only watched by the villagers. Sponsors think Muay Thai fans only available in Thailand. Sponsors think Muay Thai only attract “low class” people … but one thing for sure, whoever thinks that way, obviously they have never been to a Muay Thai tournament, they judge Muay Thai only from one angle and that is from NEGATIVE angle point of view.This year, I had the opportunity to go to three events. The first one was a national level martial art competition held in Kulim. They rented a BIG hall as the venue. And guess what, the number of spectators were around 200 people….and one thing I must tell you, the entrance is free (obviously because the participants are amature, so the organizer don’t have to pay any cash prize money and also…THEY HAVE BIG SPONSORSHIP).The second one was another finale of another martial competition, despite big budget allocated and presence of the minister … the number of contestant outnumbered the audience.The third one was only last weekend. It was a promotion held in Kulim by a GIANT telco company. When I arrived at the venue, they had about 5 small canopies and 1 BIG canopy with a estimated number of 50 staffs. The best thing was, only four people or I would rather say four potential customers at the venue and one of them was me.I asked one of the staffs, “How much do u spend for this promotion event?” and he replied around 5 – 6 thousand Malaysia Ringgit. And I said to him that I can guarantee a minimum number of 1,000 people will come and visit their promotion with that amount of budget. He smiled and asked me how am I going to do that. Well, I said to him its simple….”I just bring in my boxing ring and provide local pro Muay Thai fighters to fight at your promotion venue and its free for public to watch, I can guarantee you, you will need the traffic police to control the traffic flows”. To my surprised, he commented that they might not get the right crowd for their products and services. I asked him again, have u ever watched a Muay Thai fight in Malaysia? He just kept quiet….and again I felt a bit disappointed with the way people judge Muay Thai in Malaysia. Majority don’t realize that Muay Thai fights in Malaysia attract all level of people…just name the kind of people and they are there. School childrens, university students, teachers, engineers, doctors, lawyers, engineers, expatriates, c.e.o.s….just name it. But of course, in order for you to have this large number of crowd, proper marketing and promoting plan must be implemented. And why do Muay Thai fights attract people? Simple because they are real and the fight is full of spectacular action.Daniel Mashamaite, a boxer from South Africa fought four times in Malaysia. During his last fight in Malaysia he said I surely have big sponsorship in my pocket because I organize a lot of tournaments in a year and there are always big crowd watching. He was surprised when I said that for Kedah International Muay Thai Championship the sponsorship amount that I managed to get after begging was not more than 30,000 Malaysia Ringgit when I have more than 4,000 paid crowd and 1,000 free passes (the audience paid 13 ringgit ticket…you don’t have to calculate how much we made, because how much do u think is the cost to organize an international event? ). Just imagine how many people can I attract if the entrance is FREE…but if I were to do that, who is going to pay for the cost of organizing?Sponsors will surely get maximum mileage if they sponsor Muay Thai event, that I can guarantee. Sponsor will not only get return in terms of branding mileage, they can even generate cash sales in return by sponsoring Muay Thai event, that I can also guarantee 100 % (but sorry guys, cant tell you the method…well, I can tell you how but I am afraid I have to kill you after that ) . The problem is, most of the decision maker, turn down our proposal just because he or she doesn’t like Muay Thai (or maybe our proposal is not convincing….hmmm…I will improve on that).A conversation I had with an officer of a State Government owned company….she said they are unable to sponsor Muay Thai event because Muay Thai is not related to their company but she also said “but we can sponsor GOLF” … huh ??? is golf related to a state government company when the company’s activity circling around the development of the state? Well, I guess they sponsor golf because their bosses play golf .. poor you Muay Thai.BOXX is going to operate a Muay Thai centre soon. We are targeting school children to participate and we plan to charge them between 2 – 5 malaysia ringgit a month (in order to cover the operational cost … don’t laugh, ok). I am expecting the majority of the school children who turn up will be the kind of “aggressive children”. The non aggressive might choose piano class instead (maybe these aggressive boys” will go to piano class too…will they?). When these aggressive children turn up for training at .. let say 5 pm .. they will not straight away start punching and kicking. We are gong to organize a 15 minutes informal classes on anti smoking, anti drug, anti crime and all those positive classes. The speakers will come from various related government agencies ( I hope they support this effort). The speakers will sit among these boys and tell them stories about the bad thing about smoking, drug etc… (they will run away if we conduct the class in a formal way, that’s for sure because I would run away too). We might even get an ex drug addict to relate his experience to there boys. These classes will be conducted from time to time. My prediction is, after few years, these boys will still be “aggressive boys” because the aggressiveness is already in them but they will be equipped with knowledge. We hope to instill positive values in these boys through Muay Thai training and all those classes.What I am trying to say is…. YOU CAN USE MUAY THAI AS A TOOL TO CREATE A GOOD CITIZEN…GOOD PEOPLE. Only if you are not negative towards it (because I don’t think the boys will attend just an anti smoking or anti drug classes).No matter what, no matter how big the obstacle is, we … at BOXX EVENT will never surrender. We, with the support from all of you with continue with our struggle to position Muay Thai to where it should be …Last but not least, I would like to thank everybody who has been supporting Muay Thai activities in Malaysia and please continue visiting this blog because it is also a prove that Muay Thai has big fans all around the world.

ZAHARI AHMAD RAZALI
