Balls and Maxxx deliver thrill, fun and excitement to the active upscale males with its sports and irreverent content. Balls was highly successful in ushering in a new popular sport to the country by way of the Ultimate Fighting Championship or the UFC. UFC brings with it a showcase of skills in wrestling, boxing and martial arts all of which strongly resonate with the Filipino males' search for affirmation of their strength. Velvet and Lifestyle Network both address the needs of the young and mature upscale females to be updated and informed about the latest trends in lifestyle, fashion and Hollywood news which empower them in their busy and demanding environment.
