VeChain (VET) Enters High-Profile Sponsorship Agreement with Power Slap, a Combat Sport Launched by UFC President Dana White

The blockchain company has committed to a six-year, $76 million deal, becoming the official naming rights sponsor.

In a move that signals the expanding footprint of blockchain technology in mainstream sports and entertainment, VeChain has entered a high-profile sponsorship agreement with Power Slap.

The combat sport league, launched by UFC President Dana White and now a rising contender in the realm of pay-per-view events, will be title sponsored by VeChain for an impressive six-year period, beginning in 2024.

This partnership will see VeChain's branding integrated into key events, promotional materials, and even fighter apparel as Power Slap continues to build its audience in the billions through online platforms.

The partnership also provides a unique opportunity for VeChain to showcase blockchain technology to a broader audience.

"We are thrilled to welcome VeChain as the title sponsor for Power Slap," said White.

"Their commitment to innovation and pushing boundaries aligns perfectly with the spirit of our league. We look forward to an impactful partnership that will bring together two organizations at the forefront of their respective industries."

Expanding From UFC to Power Slap

This partnership follows VeChain's existing collaboration with the UFC, where it serves as a sponsor and aims to increase brand awareness among sports fans.

However, the partnership with Power Slap signals a deeper involvement in a rapidly emerging sport.

With an organization valued at $750 million and a rapidly expanding global fanbase, Power Slap provides an ideal canvas for VeChain to showcase its capabilities to a new audience.

"We are excited to partner with Power Slap, a league that has taken the world by storm with its unique brand of entertainment," said Anndy An, chairman at Web3 Together, a strategic partner of VeChain.

"This partnership aligns perfectly with our strategy of expanding brand presence in engaging and innovative ways."

Highlighting Digital Platforms and Viewership Numbers

Dana White further elaborated on the role of digital platforms in propelling Power Slap's success.

Unlike traditional sports leagues that primarily rely on cable TV viewership, Power Slap has achieved widespread viewership through online platforms, especially YouTube.

In fact, Power Slap's viewership numbers have managed to outpace even well-established leagues like the NHL and NASCAR, showcasing the immense reach of the league's unique content.

White's decision to forgo conventional television deals in favor of a direct-to-consumer approach through streaming platforms also bodes well for VeChain's own innovative spirit.

This mutual alignment in vision could lead to even more fruitful collaborations between the two organizations.

"We are always looking for new and creative ways to engage with our audience," said Tom George, president of Power Slap.

"This partnership with VeChain will allow us to continue to push the boundaries of sports and entertainment and bring our unique brand of combat to new heights."

This partnership will see VeChain's branding prominently displayed at Power Slap events, including on the canvas, in the arena, and on athlete gear.

The company's logo will also feature in promotional materials for press conferences and other events, ensuring maximum visibility for VeChain among sports enthusiasts and the broader consumer landscape.

Moreover, considering the vast viewership numbers that Power Slap has achieved through streaming platforms like YouTube, especially in comparison to established leagues like the NHL and NASCAR, this partnership could lead to significant brand exposure for VeChain among a highly engaged audience.

The partnership will also see VeChain's branding integrated into key events, promotional materials, and even fighter apparel.

This move expands upon VeChain’s presence in the sports industry, providing broader branding opportunities at Power Slap events, on athlete gear, and in press conferences.

Further details on the partnership, including payment terms and contract specifics, are expected to be announced soon.

Meanwhile, the price of VET is down 16.47% in the past seven days and trades at $0.025396. However, this partnership could spark renewed investor interest in the token.
