International Sports and Media Group (OTCBB:ISME), a diversified
Sports and News Marketing and Communications firm, announced today
it has secured the Internet and text messaging rights to the
upcoming match between Boca Juniors and Millionarios on September
2, 2005 in Columbia. The game Boca Jrs. vs. Millionarios is
sponsored by the Colombian Government and the United Nations as
part of a campaign against illegal narcotics. Boca Juniors has a
history of being one of the top clubs in Argentina. Not only is
Boca Juniors one of the top clubs in Argentina and in the world,
but it also was home to Diego Maradona. Maradona is one of the most
well-known soccer players of all time and Boca Juniors is one of
the most recognized clubs worldwide. In its efforts to capitalize
on Professional International Soccer matches, ISMG will be
broadcasting the match via the company's soccer television internet
site (www.soccertv.tv). The match will be televised locally in
Colombia and in Argentina however ISMG will provide the match via
the internet to the hundreds of thousands of Boca Juniors and
Millionaires fans worldwide. The match will also be archived on
www.SoccerTV.tv for future viewing long after the match is
completed. In addition to the Internet rights, ISMG will have the
text messaging rights at the stadium in Columbia. This will allow
the thousands of passionate fans of both clubs to text in through
their cell phones to participate in polls, give-a-ways, and
obtaining additional information about the match along with the two
clubs. This game is expected to draw a very sizeable crowd and
should generate substantial revenue for ISMG, as the company will
be able to capitalize on both the infamy of the teams and their
players. International Sports and Media Group will be receiving
revenue through the small charge to utilize the text messaging
service along with the pay-per-view fees to watch the match via
ISMG's www.soccertv.tv internet site. A game of this level is a
very big arrangement for any company and ISMG plans to make the
most of this opportunity. Manolo Cevallos, President of ISME said:
"This game between Boca Juniors and Millionarios is exactly the
type of game the ISMG wants to be a part of. This is just the
beginning of quality soccer games that the company plans to
participate in to increase revenue while at the same time promoting
professional soccer around the world. This will also allow us to
take the next step which will be to promote professional soccer
matches worldwide. Also, a portion of the proceeds from the text
messaging campaign will go directly to the drug prevention
program." About International Sports and Media Group International
