Boxing television rights distributor and sports marketing firm Octapixx Live has been awarded the global marketing and distribution rights to the middleweight world championship bout between Gennady Golovkin and Martin Murray in February 2015.
Octapixx said that “discussions are ongoing with sports broadcasters all over the world” for the February 21 fight, which will take place at Salle des Etoiles, Monte Carlo, Monaco.
The bout, which is for Golovkin’s WBA, IBO and interim WBC belts, is promoted by Golden Gloves Promotions in association with K2 Promotions and Monte-Carlo SBM.
Octapixx Live’s vice-president Lowell Conn said: “Octapixx Live is pleased that this event is not only generating interest among sports broadcasters who typically license world championship boxing, but also from sports broadcasters that are new to boxing and see Golovkin-Murray as a great launching pad into the sport in 2015.”
Octapixx Live, which is headquartered in Toronto, Canada, was formed by content distributor Octapixx Worldwide in 2009.
