Matchroom Sport is a leading producer of a unique range of sports events featuring world class, international competitors. Our integrated and innovative approach allows us to offer broadcasters and other content providers high quality programming that can be tailored to their needs. That's because Matchroom Sport has an enviable track record of producing appealing programmes and distributing them to top broadcasters around the world including BSkyB, Star TV, Fox Sports and Emnet. More than this our knowledge of the marketplace and in-house expertise allow us to create events in formats that meet broadcasters' scheduling needs and deliver audiences.

Matchroom offers compelling live coverage or fast delivery on tape delay shows all handled by our experienced production and sales teams.

We can offer to set up a world class event in the country of your choice guaranteeing strong local appeal. And in most of our events we can also include the top players from your country in the impressive line-up competing for honours.

Matchroom have been among the main leaders in major boxing promotions and production. Since its debut in 1987 the Pro-box banner has been renowned throughout the world for top action and quality entertainment.

World Pool Championship, with a total of 128 players from 44 countries competing for a prize-fund of $300,000, has become the biggest event in the history of the game.

Fish O'Mania is a prime example of how Matchroom can turn a traditionally non-television sport into highly absorbing and popular viewing - broadcast for six hours live on Sky Sports every year.

The World Snooker Trickshot and Pool Trickshot championships include six of the world's finest players with our cameras capturing a highly entertaining mix of deft skills and fun.

Matchroom's expanding golf department already represents 12 players on the PGA European Tour. We have now ventured into the world of international golf to include the nursery of European professional golf - The PGA Europro Tour. The circuit sees the young guns of the game parading their skills alongside more seasoned pros and overseas players.

Last year Matchroom teamed up with Ladbrokes Casinos to launch the richest ever televised poker tournament - Poker Million. Over 150 players from all over the world competed for the top prize of £1 million - the biggest pot ever. 2003 sees the event move to London with prize fund of $360,000 based on 36 players.

These are some of the examples of the diversity that has built Matchroom a worldwide reputation - providing nail-biting edge of your seat action and delivering some of the largest ever late night audiences.
