Best of all \u2013 Episode 1 of The Count is FREE on FITE on November 27th and 28th<\/a>. Episodes 2 and 3 of The Count will debut on Pay Per View on FITE, late Saturday night, November 28th\u00a0following the biggest PPV fight event of the year.<\/p>\n

FITE has an important weekend coming up as the exclusive digital carrier of the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones, Jr.<\/a> PPV fight presented by Triller<\/strong> on Saturday, November 28th, so launching this new series featuring Tyson and Jones as co-stars in the series made a lot of sense.<\/p>\n

“We carry a lot of iconic events on FITE,” said Michael Weber, FITE\u2019s Chief Operating Officer<\/strong>. \u201cwhen we met The Count<\/em> principals from Branded Entertainment Inc. and RYU, and saw the\u00a0Tyson-Jones tie-in, we felt it was meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

FITE, an international company headquartered in New York, has streamed more than 3,500 events in the last 5 years including shows from some of the biggest PPV sports and entertainment providers.<\/p>\n
