Several producers have tried (and abandoned) sponsorships. Sponsorships normally follow an inevitable chain of events: Fans pay the upfront fee. The event is hyped and eagerly anticipated. One (or both) the opponents drop out or don't show up. Fans are frustrated and disappointed. The producer refunds everyone their money. Disaster.
I’ve always wondered whether a subscription service would work, if you charged say 20 dollars a month and did say 2 fights a month, how many members would you neee to make a profit?
Problem with that is he cant guarantee fights as things go wrong and last thing hed want is pressure to meet fight promises to subs if he said 1 fight a month etc. Even with backing i think he would prob do 8 or 10 fights a year if ur lucky. Its a hobby for him and takes lot of work to put on just one fight.
I’ve seen how a lot of companies seem to book a few fights at once, I imagine people dropping out is a lot worse when you’ve already paid upfront for a suite or venue.
If you look at say fighting dolls or foxy combat or by the looks of it phat phaorahs also did the same. I know Steve did this a few times with Mira matches and at other times to I think. If you book say 3-4 fights at least If one or two drop out you have things to film and sometimes others fill in for them.
