BAAR, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2007--MAX
Entertainment Holdings Inc. (OTCBB:MXEH) announced today that it has
signed a letter of intent with the new MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)
promotion team G4 Productions.
G4 Productions is a co-operation of four of Europe's top

Frota. The team has been promoting MMA since 1997 and has been working
together for several years under the Shooto/ADCC banner. The team also
owns some of Europe's best known MMA shows, including Cage Wars,
Ultimate Glory, FinnFight and Shooto Switzerland.
With this exciting new deal, G4 Productions will now be
exclusively producing MMA shows for MAX, Martial Arts X-treme. The
G4/MAX deal will establish Mixed Martial Arts events throughout

media.
G4 will also produce a Europe-wide series of events that will
establish the name MAX, Martial Arts X-treme as the number one leader

G4's group right away, and it fit perfectly into the model we had
started to create. It is not often that a group with this much
experience is available to commit to something like this. G4 and MAX
were made for each other and the timing is perfect."
Martijn De Jong from G4 said, "MAX has the same vision for MMA as
we do and we are very excited at the opportunity this has given us;
again it is all about timing and we look forward to a long and
productive relationship and making MAX a world-famous brand."

are expected to potentially be in the seven-figure range.
