We're looking to sponsor fighters and if you have a cool and original story we want to hear it. Send your stories along with your full name in subject line to sponsorship[at]gitsum.com.
If we like your story we just may feature you on our site and get you some cool free stuff.
Hi there - I had the same question: are you only providing gear and apparel support? Also, is one of your requirements that an applicant be in a major league? Thanks.
Honestly, it depends on what level the fighter is at. Obviously paid sponsorship wouldn't be provided for a new fighter with little to no experience but someone that is consistently in major fights there would be negotiation as to the sponsorship the fighter receives.
We are prepared to offer anything from apparel and gear to monetary compensation.
We also have the connections to get more fights for the fighter as well that would have to be factored into the sponsorship. Basically a, 'you promote us, we promote you' type of relationship.
Any other questions please feel free to post and we will attempt to answer them as quickly as possible. Sorry the initial post wasn't as descriptive as it should have been. Hope this helps.
Yeah, a fighter needs to prove himself before he can start earning money. The experienced fighters are more likely to earn a sponsorship. Overall it sounds like a good deal to me.
Yea, we're all about helping guys out that are coming up through the ranks. A lot of times even some fight gear or other free giveaways help them out and we don't mind the exposure it brings with it.
It's not out of the question but to promote anyone green is very difficult and expensive. And, the one main thing that would be a problem is that you have guys that think they want to do this for years then realize they don't want to anymore. They lose passion or they were never really in it to begin with.
So you'd rather promote someone who you know will do this for a long time rather then someone who isn't. That's understandable. Honestly I'd like to do it as a hobby, which I guess isn't what you're looking for.
I guess our response is coming out misunderstood. It's not that we aren't up for sponsoring the guy that does it as a hobby but the sponsorship would be on a different level than that of someone who is going for it as a career.
Sure, we'd love to support at all levels, the more exposure we get due to it would be great but we give out free stuff to guys that do it just for a hobby and they get hit up all the time on where they get their gear so it still works out.
That sounds pretty reasonable. I'll give this serious consideration. I am thinking about going into it as a hobby.
