The Superbowl brings millions upon millions of viewers. The halftime show, commercials and of course the game (GO 9ers). What better way for Golden Boy and Mayweather Promotions to announce the lineup for May 4th? I think Ellerbe and the gang may be thinking about doing this. Mayweather is known for announcing his fights on the heels on major sporting events so why not on the biggest sporting event in America? I think it would be awesome publicity. Any thoughts?

Indeed it is, I was lucky to find the profession when I did. I paid my dues in the industry and I'm at a good place with my career now. I do mostly entertainment based marketing as in music, movies, video games, etc. But I have experience and do sports related stuff as well. My passion for Boxing got re-energized because of marketing. I handled the marketing and even helped create the marketing plan for the World Boxing championships that were held here in Chicago.

I met many of the Olympians from the 2008 and 2012 games from many countries and I also met a lady named Rhonda and her husband who happen to be official judges for the WBC and they helped me a lot as far as marketing boxing events and networking.

Swanson and her company are all over the place, I know she works with some NFL players on some stuff so I wouldn't be surprised to hear she does work with others in other sports... I am also excited about the announcement of the fight. I still believe that it would be smart to announce the fight the week of the super bowl and then detail the dates of the press conference. True enough, it's the super bowl but there will be a nice amount of publicity to gain from announcing during the week

Man that is awesome! I would love to do sporting events but I haven't had the chance yet. That is what I want to focus mainly on. I bet you have a blast, I am basically paying dues right now.

Mayweather knows where the spotlight is at. Just like he was seen during all star weekend last year when he announced that he was fighting Cotto people loved seeing him at the games and during the events. Mr.chitown keep up the good work! Mayweather should announce his fight next week, I will be waiting as well as the rest of the boxing world.
