NEW YORK, July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

  

Electric Sheep, the multi-channel online video network, is launching a classical boxing-centered site targeted for millennial males - TheUpperCut.tv.

Developed with "One Three Media" (a Hearst/Mark Burnett Company), the TheUppercut.tv presents a primetime TV show starring Sylvester Stallone and Sugar Ray Leonard. The site also showcases classic videos of legendary boxing champions and fights.

TheUppercut.tv manifests Electric Sheep's curation-approach for multi-channel destination sites - offering users a new immersive experience and a complete video ecosystem - developing audience extension via a reach matched only by broadcast TV (this represents hundreds of millions of views each month). This broadcast-like reach is achieved by using HIRO Media's advanced syndication monetization platform for professional online videos - which streamlines and optimizes video syndication in a network of over 50,000 sites.

More than any other site, TheUppercut.tv offers an entire content ecosystem for men to do "man stuff." Alongside prime boxing-content, the site features workout and fitness tutorials, as well as lifestyle tips for the real man.

Millennial men are image conscious and are just as concerned about their appearance and wellbeing as women. Millennial men crave "retro sexuality" - harkening back to a time of the real man. TheUppercut.tv fulfills this need.

  • With gender divisions getting blurry, some men (especially millennials) are looking to the past for inspiration on style and skills, from generations where male identity was more distinctively expressed. (JWT State of Men 2013)
  • 53% of millennials say: "There aren't many opportunities to do guy's stuff anymore [even though they would like to]." (JWT State of Men 2013)
  • As people continue to debate the cost of "progress," we can be sure many consumers will continue to fight hard to keep at least one foot in a previous era. (HAVAS sport 2014)

"We are very excited to partner with Electric Sheep to bring The Contender franchise to a new generation of viewers online," said Patrice Choghi, vice president of International at One Three Media, who brokered the deal with Electric Sheep. "Nearly ten years after the franchise's initial launch on U.S. network television, The Contender series is still the definitive boxing program for fight fans who crave high drama with unwavering credibility."

"We are extremely excited about the launch of TheUppercut.TV site," said David Balsar, co-founder of Electric Sheep. "It's our best creation thus far. The UpperCut.TV encapsulates a high-impact, "men's world," attractive content. In our constant quest to bring the best TV content to our viewers, we're proud to join forces with One Three Media and their primetime TV show The Contender."

TIME Magazine named Mr. Burnett one of the world's most influential people, and he is also listed as TV Guide's most valuable player. He has won BRANDWEEK'S Marketer of the Year Award, The Brandon Tartikoff Legacy Award, the PGA Norman Lear Award, and the prestigious ROSE D'OR FRAPA Format Award.
