About MAX Entertainment Holdings, Inc.
MAX Entertainment Holdings, Inc. is a company comprised of various
subsidiaries in the sports and entertainment market. Max was founded
in July 2006 and has been traded as a holding company since May 2007
on the OTC market in New York. After much experience in the
entertainment field, Max was formed to capitalize on the immense
potential of the Internet and related technologies such as mobile
phones, VOIP, online communities, TV and radio.
By combining this potential with its two core businesses, Mixed
Martial Arts (MMA), one of the fastest growing sports markets in the
world, and Europlay, an exciting new mobile telephone games platform
which will provide unique, modern and innovative low stakes games to
be played on mobile telephones and Internet, Max will realize
substantial revenues.
Mixed martial arts (MMA) has rapidly emerged as one of the fastest
growing and most profitable sports in the world. It is a combat sport
in which a variety of fighting techniques are used, and is now
considered mainstream entertainment and on of TV´s greatest sporting
spectacles. In the USA it can be seen as The UFC (Ultimate Fighting
Competition), which has skyrocketed in popularity and is seen as a
"big ticket" event much like boxing. Europe has had no equivalent
until now. Transporting this success to Europe, Max is relying on
already existing structures and making use of the enormous potential
of the Max brand to appeal to a broad cross-section of the population.
The market for MMA and Max fighters is enormous, particularly
combined with television, live events, merchandizing and online
ventures, which are all crucial components of the long term vision for
Max Entertainment and will enable investors to achieve high returns.
Already MAX has generated a strong interest and market niche in Europe
and is poised for expansion.
Its second core business is Europlay, a fully licensed mobile
telephone games platform with worldwide potential of which Max
Entertainment has recently signed a deal to acquire the majority
share. Given the extremely high rate of mobile penetration globally,
it has become the key means for people to communicate with each other.
The total number of mobile phone subscribers in the world was
estimated at 2.15 billion! Currently, simple mobile text messaging is
the most widely used service with 1.8 billion users generating USD 1.8
billion in revenue in 2006. The potential profits from mobile phone
low stake games are very substantial.
