Item 2.     Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

            Pursuant  to the  terms of an  Agreement  and Plan of  Merger,  (the
"Merger  Agreement"),  dated as of March 1, 2002 and as amended on May 16, 2002,
by and among Sporting Magic, Inc., a Delaware  corporation (the "Company"),  CMJ
Acquisition  Corp.  ("Merger  Sub"),  a Delaware  corporation  and  wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, CMJ Ventures, Inc., a Florida corporation ("CMJ") and
Sean  Garber,   Lisa  Garber  and  Mark  Carter,  who  comprised  all  of  CMJ's
stockholders (the "CMJ  Stockholders"),  Merger Sub was merged with and into CMJ
(the "Merger")  effective as of June 1, 2002 (the "Effective Time"). As a result
of the Merger, CMJ became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

            At the Effective Time, each  outstanding  share of CMJ common stock,
$1.00 par value per share,  was converted  into the right to receive  2,545.4545
shares of common stock,  $.001 par value per share,  of the Company.  A total of
1,400,000  shares of Company  common  stock were issued to the CMJ  Stockholders
pursuant to the Merger.

            The amount of the  consideration  paid in the Merger was  determined
through arms-length negotiations between representatives of the Company and CMJ.
Prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, CMJ was a customer of Next Marketing,
Inc., a wholly owned  subsidiary of the Company.  In connection with the Merger,
the Company entered into an employment agreement with Sean Garber, the president
and chief executive officer of CMJ immediately prior to the Effective Date.

            Prior to the Merger,  CMJ was a privately  held company that focused
on the design,  manufacture and distribution of licensed  promotional  products.
The Company expects to continue the operations of CMJ.
