Looking For Sponsors

Hey guys my friend Todd is looking for fighter who want to relocate to AZ. He owns a company called LG Sports Marketing, they are offering sponsorship of a group of fighters from several fighting levels in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). MMA is the fastest growing sport in the world, not just in participants and loyal fans but also in viewers; primarily in the 18-34 year old male demographic. A Little bit about them:

Their primary product is “Fighting Billboards” but with a twist. We are not offering one athlete, one car or 30 seconds of airtime, nor are we offering one season per year of exposure. Our athletes can fight all year round. You get a group of athletes competing in all of the various Mixed Martial Arts events around the globe getting your brand or company exposed to tens of millions of people worldwide. Your sponsor dollars will go to making these fighters world class fighters and champions of the sport. We want to deliver a unique branding opportunity without the “one of many” approach often used in Sports Marketing. Our Fighting Billboards are just what the name says. You get our athletes and their coaches wearing your brand on TV, in events, and around the globe. When they fight they wear your brand, You are a part of the content.With companies like Showtime and HBO joining the MMA wave, you will see more MMA shows with bigger and better Pay-Per-View (PPV) events. It won’t be long before the UFC will have competition in the United States, which means even more venues to showcase your athletes wearing your logos and promoting your company name, brand or product.
Where have we been?

All of our athletes can and will appear in other events. We have fighters with contracts with the UFC, WFA, BoDog Fights, WEC, Pride and others.

They are offering an advertising medium that eliminates the “TiVo” effect or fast forwarding commercial advertising, which so many suffer from today. We are also eliminating the risk of individual sponsorship, where you can lose your entire investment to an injury, bad press or personal issues. By sponsoring a “group” of athletes, the benefits and exposure your company can receive will be exponential. We only recruit those we feel have the potential of being a “contender” in the ring against the best, both mentally and physically. Our trainers and managers are in direct control of our athletes and our marketing staff will be in direct communication with our sponsors, as often as needed, to give the sponsor the best service and exposure possible.

MMA and Sport's Jiu Jitsu are sports that we all love and hate. They are sports very similar to our girl friends. A brief History of Martial Art.

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a combat sport in which a wide variety of fighting techniques are used, including striking (Boxing, kickboxing) and grappling (Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, Sambo).

Modern mixed martial arts tournaments as a popular phenomenon emerged in 1993 with the UFC - Ultimate Fighting Championship, based on the concept of pitting different fighting styles against each other in competition with minimal rules in place, in an attempt to determine which system would be more effective in a real, unregulated combat situation. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, mixed martial arts events implemented additional rules for the safety of the athletes and to promote acceptance of the sport, while maintaining as much of the original no-holds-barred concept as possible. Since these changes, the sport has grown rapidly, to the point of settingpay-per-view records and making boxing a thing of the past.

The history of the modern MMA event can go all the way back to Greece, but we know it today can be traced to the Gracie family’s vale tudo martial arts tournaments in Brazil starting in the 1920s, and early mixed martial arts matches hosted by Antonio Inoki in Japan in the 1970s. The sport gained international exposure and widespread publicity in the US in 1993, when Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter Royce Gracie dominated the Ultimate Fighting Championship, sparking a revolution in the martial arts, while in Japan the continued interest in the sport resulted in 1997's creation of the Pride which was just bought out by the UFC.
