and if so, how?
Kenny Florian and I discuss this. This was filmed in a low light mall in Boston.
no
no but i do feel i owe the people who are willing to help me out and do good business.....thanks again aaron@ clinchgear and jake @ budovideos....for helping me the most....
alot of guys i see will wear anything thats free or they get paid for weither they like it or not......
no
NOPE. Most MMA related stuff looks like shit.
kaizen4life - definitely not. the fighters just do it for money mostly, not for love of the product. why should a fighter wearing something he was paid to wear make me want to buy it? the only thing the advertising is good for is getting the company's name out there. I will check the product out just because I saw it, but just because they sponsor a fighter I like that doesn't sway me to buy the product.
Granted it seems like fighters don't sincerely like the product they are representing and are just doing it for the paycheck. However, if the fans notice this as you do, and choose not to support that brand, what incentive does the company have to keep supporting fighters?
Being that most fight salaries are small, and sponsorships are a huge part of paying rent and putting food on the table, what can be done to change things?

The sponsors can make better products.
True. What can fighters do better for their sponsors?
I bought heaps of xyience when I saw kenny pretending to sip some. Also I bought a bunch of condoms just because I saw them across an unconscious man's arse.
no, but i'll buy ANYTHING from you if you bat your eyelashes at me, joanne!
nope
no
No. I don't think I've even gone to see any movie that was sponsoring a UFC event either.
So I guess no one is going to buy those Lugz.
They look "Elusive" and "Street".
and explosive
so has anyone switched from Mickey's to Bud Light with the recent UFC sponsorship change?
whoabro - no, but i'll buy ANYTHING from you if you bat your eyelashes at me, joanne!
well then you'll just have to buy an MMA Girls shirt! (bat bat bat)
I have bought a few of the ring walk shirts from some of my favorite fighters.
I support the sponsors by watching their fighters fight.
Interesting thread topic, cool video!
