Alfredo Marino, CEO of Tenacious Marketing USA, and Franco Neira, President of Fero International, will develop and Executive Produce a drama television series based on the life of five-time world-champion Mexican boxer Jorge “El Travieso” Arce. Emmy® award winning filmmaker Michael G. Mora will also serve as Executive Producer.
Following the success of Marino, Neira, and Mora’s 2021 Emmy® winning short documentary Jorge “El Travieso” Arce – Una Promesa Vida (A Life Promise), the authorized biographical drama series will cover the inspirational life and hardships of the world boxing champion. Jorge Arce, who at the age of 10 swore to God that if his dying father was allowed to live, he would become the world boxing champion. When his father survived, he worked hard to deliver on that promise.
Alfredo Marino stated, "We have been deeply touched by Travieso's life story and we want people to feel the same emotions that we felt when we heard the story from Travieso's lips. He is a very unique, incredibly hardworking person, with an extraordinarily inspiring story.”
Yecid Benavides Sr., Yecid Benavides Jr. and Johanan Benavides from Artistas Latinos have joined as showrunners, production consultants and writers. Veteran television executive Cesar Diaz, CEO of 7A Media, is attached as an international distribution consultant, while El Travieso is on board as Consulting Associate Producer.
Yecid Benavides Jr. stated, “Artistas Latinos is thrilled to bring this television project on the amazing El Travieso to the screen. His whole life is an inspiration to everyone and we will showcase his rise in the boxing world as one of the top athletes of all time as well as his love of family which drives his unparalleled success.”
