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.

I dont think they get it. Like the article said, Tecate paid 5.6M for the May vs Pac fight which was as legit and as big a boxing event as they come. I think WME is over reaching here. Looking at mainstream media and anything other than MMA Forums, this fight is being looked at more and more like a joke.

Im starting to think it may not even pass May vs DLH ppvs #s.

All advertising is a write off, it's a business expense.  Revenue is another story.
