XFC doing boffo BO in Sunshine State

By Jim Murphy September 3rd, 2008

The Xtreme Fighting Championships, a Florida based regional promotion, is definitely flying under the radar but they’ve been drawing excellent crowds to their live shows. MMA Junkie gives us the numbers:

Most recently, an XFC event at the St. Pete Times Forum on June 28 drew a crowd of 10,700. Last November, an estimated 11,000 fans flocked to the same arena for an XFC show, and the promotion is expecting some 15,000 in the seats for its Sept. 13 event, featuring former UFC heavyweight Gan McGee.

“We just know how to promote,” said XFC President and co-founder John Prisco. “We go to the largest venues; we go on the street, and we go out into the community. We introduce ourselves, and we tell them about the sport. We educate the public. We also have a very strong affiliation with the military. All the military come as our guest to all our shows.”
