muaythai catered primarily to working class thais with events held in run down old stadiums . although muaythai had some international appeal the lack of an internationally recognized brand prevented the sport from reaching its global potential . since its launch in january 2010 tvc has gone a long way towards achieving its number one objective of becoming the world s number one muaythai brand by offering fight fans a superior entertainment experience in a safe and comfortable environment . playing on national pride and adding a higher level of commercialization to the sport tvc has been able to expand the reach of muaythai by attracting a new generation of fans as well as tapping into the huge global market of combat sports fans . following an extravagant grand opening to the inaugural tvc series at siam paragon in bangkok in january 2010 a number of successful tvc events have been held in thailand malaysia germany and u.a.e. television broadcast edit each tvc event is televised worldwide through a network of broadcast partners . tvc events are broadcast across asia by espn star sports as part of a 5 year agreement . eurosport broadcasts tvc events in europe . for domestic
