4-Time World Heavyweight Champ Evander Holyfield
Steps into the Ring with CirTran and ‘The Real Deal Grill '
SALT LAKE CITY, April 18, 2006 – First, came the worldwide rights – and today, the world-class lefts and rights – as CirTran Corporation (OTC BB: CIRT) announced it has joined forces with former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield to market and promote “The Real Deal Grill™,” a new electric indoor/outdoor cooking product to be sold via TV infomercials.
CirTran, an international full-service contract manufacturer of IT, consumer and consumer electronics products, said that Holyfield, the only four-time heavyweight champion of the world, will put the gloves on again by putting his name on the new grill and starring in TV infomercials to promote it and launch sales worldwide.
CirTran said it contracted with the former champion's company, Holyfield Management, Inc., of Georgia , for his services to promote the product and to film a series of TV infomercials featuring Holyfield and The Real Deal Grill, which are scheduled to be filmed in Florida next month.
The former champ said he was “very excited to have a great product he truly believed in bringing my fans – and fans of great food – around the world.”
“In business, just like in my boxing career, I plan to put in the effort needed to make The Real Deal Grill the champion we all want it to be,” Holyfield said.
A Winning Combination!
“When CirTran obtained the marketing and distributing rights to the Grill for the U.S. , Canada , Japan and South America late last year, we were very excited,” said Trevor M. Saliba, the company's executive vice president of worldwide business development.
“Now, with the Champ in our corner, all I can say is ‘Wow!' What a great winning combination Evander and The Real Deal Grill will be,” he said.
‘A Great Meal from the Real Deal'
“When Evander began his boxing career, he quickly earned – and always lived up to – the nickname, ‘The Real Deal',” said Saliba. “Now, for the first time, Evander's fans and anybody else who just loves good food will be able to get ‘a great meal from The Real Deal Grill!”
Manufactured in China by CirTran-Asia, which specializes in the direct response, sold-on-TV marketplace, the Grill is the first proprietary product to be engineered, manufactured and marketed by CirTran. It was designed and patented by Charles Ho, president of CirTran-Asia, and comes with a deluxe stand and multiple interchangeable cooking surfaces and many other add-on items also available making it the must have grill from camping in the mountains to tailgating to grilling at home.
CirTran said it will initially market The Real Deal Grill via televised infomercial and print ads featuring Mr. Holyfield with its marketing partner, Reliant International, a Direct Response industry pioneer responsible for more than $3 Billion in successful product launches, as well as use Internet media outlets and the marketing efforts of its strategic partners worldwide.
“Some of the most popular consumer products in the world are those originally seen on infomercials,” said Mr. Saliba. “Now, together with Evander, we're setting our sights on becoming champions of the indoor/outdoor grill world with this great product.”
