I have been working with martial arts billing companies for about 8 years now. The one I am with now is trying to do some good things for mma fighters and trainers. I am wondering what it would cost to sponsor a fighter or a gym? I understand that it will be more affordable to sponsor someone under the ufc level - In turn would fighters be able to help get our name out there? My website is still being worked on at www.mmasuccess.net
Thanks for any input!

If they want to give me free billing services for my gym I would wear them for all grappling tournamants and fights.
I am 1-0 pro mma. I understand if your looking for people with more experience but I also compete alot in grappling and all over. I place in most pro divisions and I am going to be doing a superfight in new york in a month. Starting next year I am going to be more active fighting.

I still need to work out the details with them for a sponsorship. They wont give away billing because there is no telling how large your school could become. A huge discount for sure or a free website yes :)
I still need to work out the details but I am pushing real hard to have our company help out some fighters

Im not any kind of high profile fighter or anything but I don't mind working with price for sponsorship. I'm jumping back into the mix. I just fought last weekend and will be fighting in January. As far as team sponsorships, I have my own team after quitting the Pit 2 years ago. I have about 3 guys that will be going pro after one or 2 more fights which I have lined up in Nov and January.
I think this is what you are talking about and anything is negotiable. Hit me up

Sounds like it could be of great help. I'm Mikey Gomez coming off some loses because of taking fights just to pay bills.
But ready to come back strong and make a statement to get on a big show again.

Justin, just emailed you on here.
Peace
I had more emails and calls than I anticipated. I have to get some real numbers put together to see exactly what we can do for some fighters. The billing company makes a lot of money but I am just in charge of sales. I will put some things together and start contacting everyone by monday.
Justin
Sounds good, thanks for the update Justin. Look forward to hearing from ya
any gym owners out there that are interested in having their fighters sponsored please hit me up - I will get back to everyone by monday
Justin
message sent Justin.
got your message- I am still working on the details of the sponsorship. I promise I will get back to you asap!
Justin
imo sponsors never work out for under elite level
noone gets exactly what they need
bc the under level needs financial help to train hard to get to elite
and the company needs their name out in a larger show
and when the fighter makes it
he goes with a larger company that will help financially
or they dont make it as fast and the fighter has to eat t shirts they are given
:)
ps im not trying to shit on anyone or anything
i wish for the best for everyone
Justin, the fighter I emailed you about also works full time as an instructor at gyms, fyi
