When Don King speaks, people listen. Now the larger-than-life, world-renowned promoter is giving the people a chance to be listened to too, as he is making it possible through the ADVAN, a one-of-a-kind mobile truck, to let the public video record their personal thoughts and opinions related to the upcoming Trinidad vs Jones “Bring on the Titans” clash at Madison Square Garden on January 19 and anything else that is on their minds including personal New Years greetings to friends and family..
The Chariot will be parked on Seventh Avenue near the front of Madison Square Garden in New York City where it will be playing commercials and trailers about Trinidad vs Jones. The truck will be open from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. tonight and then again every day leading up to the fight at various locations throughout New York City. After the people record their messages, the videos will be streamed on donkingnetwork.tv running up until the night of the fight.
“The First Amendment Charity is revolutionary and it’s putting media back in the hands of the people by giving them a chance to sound off with no censorship,” said King. “It’s a great way to make boxing available to the people by using new technology to feed the appetite of all of our fans.”
