Mumbai Fighters host matches in T-Box mobile arena

Keen to broaden the spectrum of sports available to viewers in cricket-mad India, the Venky's Mumbai Fighters are exploring new concepts and exciting avenues to bring WSB and the sport of boxing to the wider public in their homeland.

The T-Box arena, set-up at the In-Orbit Mall in Mumbai, is based on patented Swiss technology developed by MTAG and using an environmentally friendly technology is a transportable, modular, flexible and multipurpose seating arrangement that can be scaled to accommodate up 15,000 people as well as including facilities such as dressing rooms, offices, media areas and even doping control suites. It also offers UV protection and is anti-inflammable. For the Venky's Mumbai Fighters vs. Los Angeles Matadors Group A showdown, the arena welcomed close to 1,000 spectators with many more watching proceedings from outside.

The In-Orbit Mall in Malad, Mumbai continues to produce novel events across India. Earlier in the year, the T-Box Mobile Arena was setup to host Red Bull Chris Pfeiffer India Tour 2011. World streetbike freestyle champion Chris Pfeiffer enthralled the audience at the venue with his unique stunts. The Venky's Mumbai Fighters are confident that the new spectators coming to watch high-quality boxing matches will be not disappointed.

An ingenious idea that guaranteed good publicity for the team and for the competition, this concept could be seen much more often in the near future. Generating a good atmosphere both from within the ring and for the spectators, the formula is one that really works. Next up for the Venky's Mumbai Fighters, a visit from the strong Astana Arlans, let's hope the atmosphere in the T-Box arena can spur the team on to another famous victory.
