MetroPCS asks fans to vote for its next sponsored athlete

October 29, 2012 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

MetroPCS is asking its fans to choose its next sponsored fighters.  Frankie Edgar tweeted out the contest to his followers.

We’re looking for our newest teammate on @metropcs @ufc #TeamMetro. We want our fans todecide: is.gd/5S3UqN

— Frankie Edgar (@FrankieEdgar) October 29, 2012

Brian Stann, Anthony Pettis, Urijah Faber and Carlos Condit are the choices to join Jon Jones, Frankie Edgar and Cain Velasquez as Team Metro Fighters. The results will be revealed December 8th during the UFC on Fox 5 event on the network.

Payout Perspective:

No word on what impact the pending T-Mobile acquisition will have on Metro PCS but this promotion is a nice piece of activation for one of the UFC’s official sponsor.  The reveal takes place on the next network appearance for the UFC which will provide some good exposure for Metro PCS.  There are no real underdogs or favorites with the fighters competing for the sponsorship as all have major deals.

The Kyle Shanahan car accident happened on July 14. It was a matter of public record. The 49ers wanted to keep it quiet until training camp opened on July 25. And, instead of reporting publicly-available facts, the reporters who knew about it complied. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/49ers-wanted-to-keep-shanahan-accident-quiet-and-some-in-the-media-complied

Imagine someone from the Bay Area getting into a car accident with the head coach of the 49ers and not saying anything about it for 11 days. People put their breakfast on Instagram now.

What are some explanations for why this person in the other car hasn’t spoke up?

Thad Jean! Good fight #PFL

#PFL has got to get rid of the ref cam, its not as novel as it was in Pride and we can get a better view if we are not right on the fighters
