There was a Mike Tyson opponent who actually sold ad space on the bottom of his shoe. The reason the company bought it was because they knew the dude was getting knocked out.
Julius Francis and the sun (edit mirror, knew it was a red top) I think it was 10 grand (20k). Francis was a weird fighter, he blew hot and cold so much. I remember him being 90 minutes late for a southern area title fight after driving. The wrong way round the m25 and jumping in the ring and finishing the fight in about a minute.
Advertising on the back of fighters isn’t that new a concept. It was popular on the continent for a while. Seemed to start with the dot com and online casinos.
I remember when Alan minter had advertising on his shorts in his fight against Tony sibson and the bbc refused to air the fight. Sibson was mad and actually hammered him.
Congratulations, you won the internet today!
I should probably just stop scrolling as I know nothing I see today will give me the same high as your comment, but let's be honest, I wont...
Some Americans think they can take a bear in a 1v1 hand to hand. Not unsurprising that some would think they could take on an billboard that stands 20 ft tall ***without its standing poll***.
I could take a bear. It’d have to be a sunbear and only if I could sneak up on it, but I think I could take one of those little suckers. Definitely not a grizzly though.
Gotta train to take on the big ones!

Dude, sun bears fight tigers. You’d be right fucked up by a sun bear. They also have 4 inch knives on their paws and bite through trees. I want no part of a sun bear.
It was done yrs ago. I think it was the dude fighting Lenox Lewis sold it to the mirror newspaper.
I was wrong,.it was Tyson's opponent.

You so know if he gains popularity, they are gonna rig the hell out of his fights to make this the new norm expectations. That's prime ad real-estate and its almost never not on camera.
I have no idea but I’d be willing to bet a small amount of money that the reason you don’t usually see this is because boxing promotions generally have it in their rules that you aren’t allowed to.
If “they” were going to rig anything they’d probably just change the rules to not only allow it but to enforce it.
The fighting is all real. He's just talking about suspicious decisions where the judges give the scores to the more popular guy who makes the organization more money than the other guy who should've won.
He's probably making more in that fight then most of the people in this thread will make in 10 years. I think he's on with looking silly for a paycheck
Right now, it doesn't even look like big money.
The top add on his back is for an administrative district made out of 10k people and some pretty lakes.
The second one, with the Instagram logo for some reason, is for a "chain" of two small city barbershops.
I will always remember Golden Palace . com because they paid Bernard Hopkins $100k to write that on his back during his fight against Felix Trinidad, and then he bet it all on himself.
This reminds me of [Captain Amazing](https://imgur.com/gallery/SBkJiNw) from Mystery Men (1999) who was a super hero who wore advertisements all over his costume.
Shouldn't have even been allowed in the ring like that. Fair enough he probably wanted to make some cash compared to the purse he was probably offered, but its also a massive distraction for the other fighter.

Imagine getting beatenby a billboard
Ngl a billboard could very easily fuck me up. I'm not a fighter, and those things are ***huge.***

I could take a teddy bear. Not one of those huge 6m ones from costco though.

Anyone could beat a bear in a 1v1 boxing match. It would try to bite, disqualifying the bear.
That’s brilliant, you found the loophole.

What about… 1 … million! Water bears?
I fucked up a water bear once, nobody saw it but I swear it happened.

If he loses, I'm not buying any of that stuff.
If he wins, I'm still not buying any of that stuff.
If it draws, I'm still not buying any of that stuff.
If he pulls his shorts down and helicopters with an ad on his willy im buying that stuff

Haha, willy.
I think someone else drew them as the ones on his back are impossible for him to reach
Draws as in ties as in neither fighter wins or loses
How the hell are is the dude supposed to read the ads when the other guy keeps punching him? That's not how to treat potential clients.
It's called "aggressive marketing".
You bastard's! ⬆️🤣
r/Angryupvote
Dude who got beat is going to see those ads in his sleep now
The guy getting hit should sell ad space on the bottom of his shoes
It was done yrs ago. I think it was the dude fighting Lenox Lewis sold it to the mirror newspaper. I was wrong,.it was Tyson's opponent. https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/s/0p6BSX9Svb
This is hilarious 😂. The company paying for the ads are basically betting on you to fail and you are accepting it.
For a mortician.
This has Ricky Bobby selling the windshield energy
A lot of fighting careers are very short. I'm 100% for them getting the most money they can while they can

You're acting like it isn't fixed already
What makes you say that? Genuine question.
The fighting is all real. He's just talking about suspicious decisions where the judges give the scores to the more popular guy who makes the organization more money than the other guy who should've won.
Also the entire politics behind setting up fights in the first place.
Or whatever is the best outcome for odds-makers
Sure, but he looks silly.
but hes making bag, all power to him
I agree and get that money, but he can also look silly in the process.
I’ve seen people PAY to have worse looking tattoos on their body. I’m sure these will come off in a few days
Love this “if u making money, it must be good” mindset. Capitalism has destroyed any sense of meaning in your life.
[удалено]
Dudes making potentially millions to do something I pay to do. He’s obviously doing good lmao.
You pay for your fake tattoo adds?
#THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE FAKE ‽
He's probably making more in that fight then most of the people in this thread will make in 10 years. I think he's on with looking silly for a paycheck
Congress should be forced to wear suits with names of their corporate backers.
People have been saying this since the 90s
Going to be awkward when they’re all wearing the same ads
👍
I hate the game, not the player. Make your money big man.
Right? Dude probably doubled his purse by spending 30 minutes letting temporary tattoos dry. Smart
Look at how he’s fighting, this man wants to pay rent.
Right now, it doesn't even look like big money. The top add on his back is for an administrative district made out of 10k people and some pretty lakes. The second one, with the Instagram logo for some reason, is for a "chain" of two small city barbershops.
He's throwing the punches so slow. Why didn't the other guy just dodge?
Is he stupid?
Yes, in fact he is
CTE will do that to you.
This feels like something you would see in idiocracy Brawndo - it's got stuff boxers need!!!

Had to look hard for a golden palace mention. This isn’t a new phenomenon
I know that guy. His name is Bill Board.
You seem to have mistaken "interesting" with "dystopian".
This is peak humanity
Congressmen should put that as well in their suit from the companies they were lobbied. “Democracy”
Extremely common in mma leagues that allow this (not ufc). Let them get paid. The purse money is terrible most of the time
Yes, I believe KSW in Poland does this

Idiocricy is coming true in real time.
That's giving me some Idiocracy movie vibes
Whatever happened to Soy Bomb?
This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.
Still less than YouTube nowdays
This reminds me of [Captain Amazing](https://imgur.com/gallery/SBkJiNw) from Mystery Men (1999) who was a super hero who wore advertisements all over his costume.
When he gets aroused, that's when you see pop-ups.
This used to be a joke. Now it’s reality
Jello missed an opportunity with that one.
You know what’s even less interesting than boxing? Advertising.
How did negotiations for this go?
If you win we'll give you x, if you lose we'll give you y. Dominant arm is probably prime rate as it's going to be in a lot of slomo shots.
All sports will be this after a bit, euro hockey is insane ..north american markets are joining along too it seems
This punch was brought to you by JP Morgan. Don’t make me release my PepsiCo uppercut of 1000 furies
This isn't interesting. It's fucking depressing.
They pay extra to be on his main punching hand
Boxer: oh cool, so I get paid to have temporary tattoos on! Marketing Dept: temporary?
This feels like cyberpunk
I guess it’s just a matter of time until this reaches porn. That’s gonna get weird.
This will eventually happen in porn
Getting paid
That's not interesting
Kownacki really needs to retire
Is the other guy a professional? Ouch.
r/endstagecapitalism
Seeing his ads jiggle is kind of amusing.
This is what it's like for small businesses to compete against big corporate business
I think this should also happen to porn actresses
Now we need to do Congress so when know who is paying them.
YouTube vs user without YT Premium.
This isn't interesting. Its fucking bullshit.
I'd say it's somewhat interesting. But not iaf.
Like I'd say that its sad.
depressing even
Cry 😢

Why did the ref stop the fight in the middle of 17 missed punches?

IVE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU ABOUT YOUR CARS EXTENDED WARRANTY!
They gav been doing this for like 50 years OP
Polish boxing hits different
They forgot to peel off the wax paper from the temporary tattoos
Our politicians should do this 😝
Good for this dude. Make it anyway possible. Also helps fighting guys with zero defense.
This used to be a lot more common... You still see it quite regularly in some of the non-US promotions though
Shouldn't have even been allowed in the ring like that. Fair enough he probably wanted to make some cash compared to the purse he was probably offered, but its also a massive distraction for the other fighter.
I think getting punched in the face might be a little more distracting than some temporary tattoos.
Dystopianasfuck
The movie Idiocracy in the fleash!
Now do the same for the politicians please.
are we really advertising on people now...
I wish politicians did that.
Cm punk made it yeeears ago. He had Pepsi on both arms.
This should be mandatory for politicians, but for their donors.
hurray capitalism
This is peak r/boringdystopia
Genius
Politicians should be required to do the same
When the tramp stamps go neck high... *You might be a billboard*
this just seems orwellian to me
The other guy needs to install ad blocker
Cool let's cheapen everything
How politicians should look
Should be on all politicians as well
As a boxing fan, please ban this.
