Why would Fujifilm be bigger? You talking pool in general or just the women's game? Bud/Inbev has three times the revenue and almost 5times the ad budget. Call me stupid but a beer-pool connection makes WAY more sense than a film/imaging company does.
This is on Railbirds so my question is this corporate-level advert. or a local distributor hook-up? Either way is great but you'd think if Bud/Inbev was going corporate with MR/WNT there would be a big announcement of the deal. Its being held in a Phoenix sports-pool bar so my guess is its a local Bud dist. doing the advert.
Is that really a sponsorship? It looks like a banner ad probably sold to a local distributor for maybe a grand.
Yep, pretty much. All the names on those banners are Railbirds sponsors, nothing to do with MR. I've always liked Railbirds streams.
...good place to pitch beer?
I think there are restrictions in place in some countries about alcohol advertising. I think that means Matchroom would not want them as a title sponsor, and maybe not as any level of sponsorship. The ban is not as extensive as on tobacco, but it could still be a problem for global viewing. Probably wouldn't fly in Saudi Arabia, but that's irrelevant now.
Except if anything catches on people start raising.
then don’t do it for your 1 Saudi tournament. 1) we can’t turn down any sponser 2) don’t let those slave owning women hating religious wack jobs run your sport. No matter how much money they have.
There are several alcohol sponsors involved in Formula 1 and the Saudis have no problem paying approximately $55 million to host a single F1 race weekend.
What makes u think the WNT is failing? As far as getting more sponsor $$ i don't think you can lay all of that at MR's feet. ANY sponsor is going to look at pool's relevancy to their business/product aka can getting behind pool improve their bottom line. The folks at MR aren't stupid and i'm sure they search for $$$ 24/7.
