Discovery Turbo to bring the competitive worlds of Bartering and Boxing
This July, Discovery Turbo introduces two new format series delving into unique competitive concepts. Go inside the boxing world as five trainers work tirelessly to revive boxing in Boston in The Fighters. Step into the old-fashioned and competitive world of bartering in the Dukes Of Haggle.
Commenting on the new series, Rahul Johri, Executive Vice President and General Manager - South Asia and Head of Revenue, Pan- Regional Ad Sales & Southeast Asia, Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific, said, “Discovery Turbo is the one-stop-shop for automotive programming on Indian television. The channel introduces new formats to appeal to our viewers who prefer fast-paced, high-stakes television.”
Each episode of The Fighters documents the daily struggles, personal relationships and epic training sessions as the fighters prepare for the fight of their lives - where only one will overcome the odds and emerge victorious. Every week, these three rounds will help decide not only their fates, but also the fate of boxing in Southie, Boston.
Offering a glimpse into North Carolina’s barter and auction economy, Discovery Turbo’s Dukes Of Haggle follows four rival barter teams as they leave no stone unturned in order to find the items that will earn them a weekly paycheck. This comical group remains fiercely competitive as their livelihood depends on finding valuable items to flip for big profits at weekly auctions. From bizarre novelty collectibles, including a 10-foot ear of corn to Civil War swords, from 1948 Ferguson tractor to classic Chevy pick-ups, these barter teams go head to head with every tradesman in town to talk the sellers into the most profitable deals. The best swappers in the south only have a few days to fix up their items and flip them at Neal Auction house.
