We’re proud to announce our official collaboration We’re proud to announce our official collaboration with Puerto Rico Fashion Week 2025 for a first-of-its-kind sports-themed fashion show: Match Point.
Taking place on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the Parque de las Ciencias in Bayamón, Match Point will fuse the intensity of competition with the elegance of fashion, bringing two worlds together on one stage.
In sports, a match point is the defining moment and this event represents just that for Puerto Rico, where sports and fashion meet in a groundbreaking showcase.
More details to come.
The 2025 U.S. Open wasn’t just about tennis—it was The 2025 U.S. Open wasn’t just about tennis—it was a masterclass in fan engagement, brand presence, and luxury marketing. From the baseline to Grand Central Terminal, this tournament has become the ultimate stage for experiential marketing.
Luxury brands know tennis fans aren’t just spectators—they’re high-spending consumers seeking curated experiences. Grey Goose served millions of Honey Deuce cocktails, hand-scooping over 2.3 million honeydew balls, while Tiffany & Co. stopped visitors in their tracks with a diamond-studded tennis racket and Meta AI activations. Nike flexed its fashion and team power, showcasing star matchups where Sinner and Alcaraz faced each other—even though they’re on the same Nike team—while Aryna Sabalenka and Anisimova brought the Swoosh style to the women’s side. The Swoosh still owns the court.
Interactive experiences stole the show. American Express let fans swing a racket from a Tennis Ball POV. Lavazza’s robot Luigi became a tournament celebrity, turning coffee into competition. Dobel Tequila activated JFK Airport with tennis-themed games and cocktails, and Grey Goose brought the U.S. Open vibe to Grand Central with its Honey Deuce lounge. Even Evian combined hydration with haute cuisine in a pop-up dining experience with Daniel Boulud and Frances Tiafoe and their pickleball courts.
What’s clear: the U.S. Open isn’t just a sporting event—it’s a luxury lifestyle stage. Brands are paying attention because the payoff is massive exposure to a wealthy, engaged audience—and fans are buying in, sharing content, and living the experience.
And for the players? The stakes keep rising. Men’s and women’s singles champions will each take home $5 million—a 39% jump from last year. Total prize money for 2025: $90 million, up 20% from 2024. Luxury, spectacle, and performance: the U.S. Open proves it’s where money, influence, and culture collide.

The NFL is back — and so is the business boom that The NFL is back — and so is the business boom that comes with it.
With nearly $2.5 billion in team sponsorship revenue this season (a 6% increase from last year), the NFL remains the most dominant sports league in the U.S., offering brands the kind of reach and cultural relevance no other property can match. From September to February, the league owns America’s attention — and companies are paying big to be part of the show.
This year’s data from SponsorUnited paints a clear picture:
-3,600+ sponsorship deals were executed across the league.
-Ticketing, alcohol, and telecom brands led the charge in revenue growth.
-The construction and industrial sector drove the highest volume of team-level deals, thanks to its hyper-local nature.
But the story isn’t just about categories — it’s about people. Rookie Jayden Daniels and veteran Demarcus Lawrence each landed 18 endorsement deals, showing that both rising stars and seasoned veterans offer unique brand value. Meanwhile, rookies like Rome Odunze are seeing triple-digit social follower growth, making them prime targets for brands eager to ride their momentum.
On the league side, partnerships are going global. Sixty-eight brands activated across the NFL International Series, while collaborations like Oakley x New Era (exclusive merch) and Diageo x Uber (responsibility campaigns) show how co-branding is rewriting the sponsorship playbook.
Still, opportunity remains wide open. Tourism brands have led new deal growth over the past four years, but more than 40% of teams still don’t have a tourism sponsor. Likewise, stadium entrances — those viral player arrival moments — are an underutilized canvas for brand storytelling.
Simply put: the NFL isn’t just a league, it’s a marketing ecosystem. And as fan tastes evolve — from spiked seltzers replacing beer to rookies outpacing veterans in social clout — the brands that win will be the ones that move fast, stay creative, and meet fans where culture is shifting.
The NFL is back. The lights are on. And for brands, the game has never been bigger.

The UFC has rewritten the rules of sports media. I The UFC has rewritten the rules of sports media. In a landmark seven-year, $7.7 billion deal, Paramount will now exclusively hold U.S. streaming rights to every UFC event. That’s $1.1 billion annually—more than double UFC’s previous ESPN deal. Select events will also simulcast on CBS, expanding marquee fights to millions of households. Gone are the days of paying $80 per fight—or over $1,000 a year. With Paramount+, fans can watch every fight for a fraction of the cost.
The Business Behind the Numbers
-Seven years, $7.7 billion – Payments run through 2032 and increase over time.
-Exclusive streaming + CBS simulcast – Paramount now owns all 43 U.S. events.
-Doubling media rights value – UFC jumps from $550M to $1.1B annually.
Analysts call it a “purposeful overpay.” Paramount isn’t just buying fights—they’re securing a foothold in live sports. The plan: leverage UFC content to grow Paramount+ subscriptions, cement a streaming-first strategy, and build long-term brand value.
After exiting exclusive talks with ESPN and Netflix, UFC moved fast. Following the Skydance-Paramount merger on August 7, negotiations closed in just 48 hours. Paramount’s aggressive move gives it total U.S. rights in a market where other leagues split rights across multiple partners, while also offering NFL, college football, NCAA basketball, UEFA club soccer, PGA Tour golf, NWSL, and international rugby. The market reacted positively—Paramount stock jumped about 20% in the days following the announcement.
The PPV Question: Dead or Alive?
PPV is effectively over in the U.S. A single Paramount+ subscription now covers every event, including premium fight cards. This change is expected to expand UFC’s reach dramatically, introducing marquee fights to new audiences and making the sport more accessible than ever. Will other sports, such as boxing, follow suit?
