BB- Bigger’s Better
The revolution that changed combat sports television
Some concepts are created to follow a trend. Others are created years ahead of their time.
More than a decade ago, Bigger’s Better Boxing introduced a revolutionary concept to the international combat sports scene.
Created by Jean-Christophe Courrèges, Stéphane Cabrera and Jean-Philippe Lustyk, this unique project brought together professional heavyweight fighters from different countries and combat sports backgrounds in an unprecedented eight-man tournament Boxing format.
Broadcast live every month on Eurosport, Bigger’s Better became a major television success, setting audience records and bringing a completely new dimension to combat sports entertainment.
The concept was simple but spectacular:
* 8 international professional fighters
* 3 elimination fights in one night
* Quarter-finals, semi-finals and final
* $15,000 for each tournament winner
* A $50,000 Grand Final price money
* A professional boxing management contract for the ultimate winner
Bigger’s Better was also a unique platform connecting professional boxing and kickboxing, with WKN World Championship fights regularly featured alongside the tournament finals.
It was a place where future world-class boxing champions, including 👑Mairis Briedis and 👑Agit Kabayel, gained valuable experience before reaching the highest levels of professional boxing.
Three visionaries, one revolutionary concept, and an international television phenomenon.
Jean-Christophe Courrèges, Stéphane Cabrera and Jean-Philippe Lustyk were true pioneers. Long before the spectacular combat sports formats we see today on the international scene, they had already imagined and created something completely different.
Today, more than ten years later, Bigger’s Better remains an unforgettable chapter in combat sports history.
Bigger’s Better was not simply a boxing tournament. It was a revolution.
A legacy that will forever remain in the history of combat sports.
