Everlast, Titleboxing, Fairtex etc...
Because they can provide the team with equipment and they understand the scene. + They might be able to provide some good trainers.

Aries
Ringside
Combat sports
GNC
Those 4 are sports affilated, the top 3 have boxing and kickboxing equipment.

But for home town sponsorship, i'd try Mcdonalds, PizzaHut, pepsi and coke. They are usually pretty good about sponsoring endividuals or teams.

The correct answer lies within the reason for sponsorship...

National / Regional / Local team ?

N / R / L event exposure ?

And most directly ties into the goals of the team ?

You MUST establish value for the sponsors -

And not be looking for someone to foot the bills...

Thanks, Danny
