Most companies are not aware of the sponsorship and marketing opportunities MMA fighters can provide. At Suckerpunch Entertainment, we can provide your company with everything from brand placement on the fighters’ clothing, to appearances and endorsements in advertising.
The sport of MMA is an still untapped market. Sponsors are able to get exposure on a national level and still pay very reasonable prices compared to other sports with even lesser exposure. This sport continues to grow and become one of the most popular sports not only here in the US, but all over the world. In 2007 alone, there were over 4.8 million PPV purchases for the UFC (Ultimate Fighing Championship) alone! Compare this to 4.7 million for boxing and 2.7 million for the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment).
Most recently the Jens Pulver vs. Uriah Faber fight captured over 4 million viewers on the Versus Network, the highest in that network’s history. Now is the time to get in on the action and SuckerPunch is “THE” premier sports marketing company in this sport to guide you through it.
As one of the fastest rising MMA writers on one of the largest independently run websites on the internet today, I have interviewed many of the sport’s top level fighters and fighter’s agents. I had the opportunity to spend a day with Brian Butler at SuckerPunch and saw firsthand how hard he worked for his fighters and their sponsors. I can personally say there is no other MMA management organization that is anywhere near the level of SuckerPunch. SuckerPunch is a company that brings a strong level of ethics, concern and a sense that all of his fighters are a part of a family to the world of MMA, something that is extremely rare in this day and age of Mixed Martial Arts. This is a fighter forward company who has the capabilities, creativity and experience to promote their fighters and sponsors to the ever growing world of MMA.
