I am looking to get sponsors to be able to afford my training, at the moment I can't afford to train anymore. Does anyone know companies that may be looking to sponsor fighters? If so, please advise.

i don't know how sponsors work, but do they just sponsor random people like this?!??!?! if so i want to be sponsered!!!

:sifone:

me too please.

I'm getting sponsored by gaybumplugs.com

Money is money.

Are you a pro fighter? Have you won a major grappling event like grapplers quest or the pan ams? If yes, then chances are there is probably a clothing company that might help you out.

No offense but they don't sponsor nobodies. Like the poster above me stated if you've accomplished something or atleast have a pro fight under your belt you may be able to get some sponsorship, but it probably won't be much. If you're like 10-0 then I'm sure sponsors would love to help you out. Look at Marvin Eastman's schedule

"TRAINING: I work the graveyard shift in a detention center from 9pm-7am. I sleep from 8am till 11am, train boxing / jiu-jitsu / wrestling from 12 to 3pm, run sprints, hills, and do plyometrics drills on alternate days. I then go train Muay Thai with Master Chan, my trainer of 11 years, for one and a half hours, do plyos and jumps, then shower, rest 1-2 hours and then go back to work as a officer."

And this guy is a proven veteran.

Call those big name Casinos and see if they'll pay you to have their shit tattooed on your back when you fight...

my homies in the process of trying to get sponsership with a protein drink company.

how he went sbout it was went to local events with his gym to help set up cages and warm up fighters for there fights. he talked to some guys at a table advertising the product.

since he hasnt had his first pro fight yet(or a fight since he's asked them) he asked them to come watch him train. they watched and liked what they saw, told him that there gonna watch him at his next fight and let him know after that.

but like the other dudes said you cant just be a nobody you actually have to have like a gym you train with and fights under your belt

fuck yea you gotta train hard to keep that sponsership. how it works is they give you a certain amount of money based off how much they make off you, but they dont really give you cash they pay your bills and shit, so you can just train all day. so that shit is still a job, and you gotta bust ass more than most any other job
