Gus Hansen vs. Theo Jorgensen | IXGAMES
Heavyweight champion of poker Gus Hansen will fight rival Theo Jorgensen in Copenhagen, with 200,000 DKK at stake in a boxing match airing live free of charge on the evening of February 21, 2009 on Gushansentv. Beating up Theo in boxing will be much more enjoyable than winning over him in poker. The sweet taste of victory cannot evenbe made up in terms of money, says Hansen. For poker players, every game has its odds: this match has 200,000 DKK (approx. $35,000 USD) at stake, and a handicap, as Hansen is convinced of his superior physical abilities and will only take $25,000 off of Jorgensen in case of victory. Win or lose, both players are in to win. “Forget about the money, this is all about the glory. The loser of this fight will definitely hear about it for many years to come.” says Jorgensen. This one-of-a-kind boxing event will be held in one of Denmark’s largest indoor arenas and be attended by poker fans and pros, and boxing stars. Match commentator and super middleweight world champion Mikkel Kessler comments, *This fight is going to be incredible! These guys are crazy. It is going to be a fight to the death. Neither one is going to surrender, but only one of them will survive*. The fight signals the launch of Gus TV, the online TV channel of the Danish poker star. Starting on February 21, 2009, Gus TV will allow poker fans to see Hansen in action as he plays live around the world, to receive helpful tips on successful poker strategies as he provides hand-by-hand analysis, and to join Hansen and his friends from the poker world, playing in his hotel suites and beyond.
