Now that the fight Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor has been confirmed, the door is wide open for corporations to sponsor the event, if the have enough money
ESPN.com is reporting that the price point for title sponsorship of the August 26 match-up has been set at $10 million dollars. This nearly doubles what Tecate Beer paid ($5.6 million) in May 2015 to sponsor the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight.
Here’s what $10M buys the top sponsor:
- The sponsoring company would get its logo at the center of the ring at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena
- Branding on ring girls
- Branding on two of the ropes and in the two nonfighter corners of the ring.
- The deal also includes sponsorship of the first minute of every round on the broadcast and $500,000 in tickets.
If $10 million is a little steep for your pockets, for $5 million a company can buy one of the fighter’s corners. That would include signage in that corner, sponsorship to the broadcast corner cam and $250,000 in tickets.
There’s still time to start that goFundMe and make a proposal to the powers that be.
