Sports and entertainment-loving African youths are in for the best time as AMDM Africa and California, US-based 3POINT0 Labs have partnered to enable them to watch international music concerts, sporting events and movies at affordable prices.
The joint venture between the African mobile phone streaming innovator, AMDM Africa and Talent and Web3 Management Firm, 3POINT0 Labs, will enable teeming African young mobile phone users to have access to international Afro-beats concerts, sports and movie content at affordable prices.
This rare opportunity is coming at a time when Africa’s ‘cost of living crisis’ and high subscription rates to watch entertainment provided by traditional vendors preclude young Africans from watching their international music, sports and movie icons.
Through AMDM Africa’s use of cloud streaming technology to reduce the costs of watching entertainment on mobile phones, and 3POINT0 Labs’ access to US-based content providers, the joint venture makes international sporting events, music shows and movie content more available at affordable prices.
In the past year, AMDM Africa successfully streamed the Queen of Afro-beats Tiwa Savage’s live London concert successfully free of charge to 120 million African youths in 14 counties in collaboration with telecommunications giant, Airtel Africa.
Similarly, this year 3POINT0 Labs brokered deals to broadcast international boxing and martial arts shows, as well as ‘free to watch’ US movies targeted at African youths and those in the diaspora.
Also this year, 3POINT0 Labs engineered a landmark multi-million dollar deal with Francis Ngannou, a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) heavyweight champion, to fight under the banner of the Professional Fighters League.
Only last month, Tyson Fury, current boxing world heavyweight champion, announced his unprecedented fight with Francis Ngannou, MMA heavyweight champion, billed for October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for a boxing clash estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars for the fighters.
Speaking on the partnership, Chief Business Officer and Co-Founder of 3POINT0 Labs, Andrew Cutrow, said, “We’re proud to partner with AMDM Africa and its management who have spent decades creating opportunity and access for millions of Africans. We are aligned in our missions to leverage technological innovation to eliminate the disparity in access and opportunity.”
AMDM Africa, a content aggregator and cloud streaming expert, based in Nigeria and the UK, partners with mobile phone operators in Africa to stream live sporting, music and entertainment events from around the world to Sub-Saharan Africa’s 500 million smartphone-first African youths.
“At AMDM Africa we are proud to work with innovative partners, like 3POINT0 Labs, to harness the power of the internet to lower costs and democratize access for African youth to international sporting and music content, and free US movies.
“AMDM Africa’s audacious mission is to democratize access for half a billion African youths, to use their 4 G and 5G smartphones to watch international performances of their Afro-beats music heroes and sporting superstars, at affordable prices, via cloud streaming technology,” the CEO and co-founder of AMDM Africa, Dr Adrian Ogun said.
