Anyone into Boxing?? Seems that MA.com is going to make more news & getting more into sponsoring sports figures. First we had a few Olympic Speedskaters, then came the big SuperBowl XLI Party, and now a Boxing championship. Okay guys, umm......where's the NASCAR sponsorship that I've been pleading for in every applicable data-mining survey for the last couple of years?? MA could have a dozen cars on the track with all of the divisions that we have, wouldn't that be a sight!!!

I hope I don't get any backlash but I was too lazy to retype this promo announcing the broadcasts, so its pasted with the illustration of an MA boxing ring too. Cute. I wonder if those boxers can drink Torch Hydrate while duking it out?? Its made for serious athletes that need to replace electrolytes while competing and this would be a prime example, especially for MA!!!

Check it out:

"Market America will sponsor boxer Jaidon Codrington in his quest to be crowned The Contender's season three champion and take home the $750,000 grand prize.

The championship bout and season finale of the popular reality show will be broadcast live to over 20 million viewers on ESPN 2 on Tuesday, Nov. 6 at 7:00 p.m. EST. Codrington and his corner men will wear Market America clothing and patches with the Market America logo. Check local listings for the exact time in your area.

Additionally, Market America has signed on to sponsor Puerto Rican Super Lightweight Champion Francisco "El Gato" Figueroa as he defends his title Friday, Nov. 16 at 11:00 p.m. EST live on Telemundo against Noel Rodriguez from Mexico. An estimated 80 percent of the Hispanic population is expected to tune in to the bout. Figueroa and his corner men will also wear Market America clothing and patches, and two of the corner pads will feature the marketamerica.com logo." (Awesome!!)
