I'm updating this thread with good news! Looks like sponsorships at Suitefights are back! Suitefights just opened a Gumroad page, and is offering sponsorships there for $40 (
https://suitefights.gumroad.com/). Here's the bonus' that come with sponsorship:
- One week of exclusive access before the fight goes on sale to the general public
- 3 watermark-free versions of the fight: 4K, 1080p, and mobile-optimized
- Additional behind-the-scenes content
- Photos from the set
- Full-resolution poster artwork by @xyolop
I loved the sponsorships and I really think they allowed you to "get to know" the catfighters better and it really ramps up the anticipation for the fight. If the sponsorships are anything like in the past, I loved having high quality bikini (and less photos) of the fighters before they are set to let loose on one another. And the 4k video is a must. Suitefights always has absurdly fantastic production values/camera angles/lighting, and watching these fights on a giant 4k tv massively increased my enjoyment over watching on a laptop screen. From Suitefights' perspective, a full week early access sort of worries me. I remember some asshole leaked a sponsored video in the past and it is very tough to keep a lid on fight spoilers for so long. Obviously, want to have as many reasons to sponsor as ever, but I think a week is a bit overkill. Speaking as a sponsor of basically every fight in the past (and hopefully future), I'd be fine with 2-3 days early access over the main release. I just remember in the past it being a huge bummer when a fight would be "spoiled" for me. Not sure if this is how it would be going forward, but in the past Suitefights used to release sponsorship goodies steadily before the main release. I'd always eagerly check the photoshoot and the BTS footage as an "appetizer," and I'd purposely skip the minute or so preview that came in the past as that often just "spoiled" the main event that I already purchased. For what it is worth, never regretted for a second sponsoring a Suitefights video and he was always went above and beyond to make sure the sponsors were happy and informed. Hah, it's "rough" looking through my collection and seeing the non-4k versions of fights, photoshoots and BTS footage of some of my absolute favorite fights we missed out on when sponsorships went on hiatus. Can't recommend sponsorships enough, and it's a way to fully support the producers and catfighters that make the type of fights that we want to see going forward.
As has been previously announced, two fights are currently upcoming and available for sponsorship. Alexa vs Carmilla and Sarah Brooke vs Lora Cross. Both seem to be taking place within the next 9 days.
I haven't seen anything I'd call "official" rules for Alexa vs Carmilla, but I did notice the hashtags on Instagram announcing the fight mentioned slapping and hairpulling, so that sounds promising!
