AT&T, Reebok deny ties with Floyd Mayweather

BOXING  -  AT&T (NYSE: T) with over $111 billion in revenue for 2009, and U.S. apparel manufacturer Reebok International are denying that they have an existing endorsement deal with troubled boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr (41-0). 

A spokesman for the telecommunications giant, Steve Schwadron, informed Examiner.com (Marv Dumon):

AT&T does not sponsor Floyd Mayweather Jr.  We have sponsored several boxing matches, including one that Mr. Mayweather fought in (vs. Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010), but AT&T hasn’t and currently does not sponsor Mr. Mayweather personally . . . . The initial media report stating that we sponsored him was wrong and we are in the process of correcting that . . .

The company said that its business relationship with the boxer was limited to a 2009 television commercial.  (However, these commercial ads were also shown in 2010.)

Reebok also denies a current sponsorship deal with the American boxer.  At Footlocker stores across the United States, large Mayweather posters promoting Reebok's ZigTech running shoes previously filled stores, but those posters have been replaced with a photo of NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco.  [ Related: Mayweather to train with Chad Ochocinco ]

(The boxer's rival, Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2), has his "MP" products available at select Nike stores around the world.  Reebok and Nike are competitors.)

Reebok spokesman Daniel Sarro informed the Las Vegas Review-Journal:

Reebok does not currently have an endorsement contract with Floyd Mayweather Jr.  We had a relationship with him in 2009 and earlier this year, which was centered around two specific fights.

Las Vegas police recently booked and released Floyd Mayweather, Jr in connection with a domestic violence accusation from Josie Harris, mother of Mayweather's children. The boxer is charged with grand larceny.  [ Related: Floyd's Labor Day video shows views on women, work, and life ]

Last week, Mayweather caused a stir when he went on a racist tirade against rival Manny Pacquiao.  [ Photos: Floyd cheers for Manny in 2006 Morales fight ]

    @Pinoy eat rats. I see you take after Mayweather. Let me educate you on the potential consequences of Mayweather's actions. You see, a celebrity boxer like Mayweather markets his skills and his image. These are the products that he offers to commerce. He doesn't have to have an existing endorsement contract with any company. His image has taken a nose dive. Therefore, no company will want to do any deals in the future with Mayweather essentially limiting his earning capacity even at the height of his popularity. He will eventually fade into irrelevancy and obscurity as he ages and his boxing skills deteriorate. He will most likely become financially disabled given his lavish lifestyle. Like so many other boxers before him who foolishly squandered their money and fame, Mayweather will likely end up in the same fashion as precedence seems to indicate.

    BTW. Pinoys don't eat rats. To my knowledge, no culture would intentionally use this rodent as a sustenance. That is simply an uneducated statement which makes you sound moronic. Please go tell your parents to smack you into some decency.

    I can't help but respond to this stupid post. Let me ask you this. Will ATT/Reebok now ever endorse Mayweather after having denied that they have existing endorsements with Mayweather? Now go back to school. I know a public school that accepts adults in 3rd grade.

    Too much jealousy, envy of Floydie but can't fight Manny Pacquiao that brought him to his ridiculous dirty delaying tactics of avoiding to fight. After his racist rant against Manny Floydie was pressured by the press. media and fans of Manny all over the world that tortured him that turned Floydie to be insame. Bad and evil deed doen't prevail over the good.
