Hey Zaza. Have you considered contacting the major boxing/MMA websites to see it they will consider pledging? This film could be a real boost to the market and will very likely boost sales for Title, Balazs, Everlast, Ringside, etc. Or, how about contacting some popular boxers or MMA fighters...
How about some showbiz folks. My first thought was to contact Adam Carolla. I don't know if you know of him, but he grew up in southern California, and has a boxing background. A few years ago he spent a couple hundred thousand dollars on his own independent film about a boxer/construction worker closing in on 40, who "goes for it" one last time in the ring. It's called "The Hammer." It's pretty entertaining.
Adam has the No. 1 podcast right now on iTunes. He could reach a lot of people just by mentioning this on one of his segments. He's a funny, cranky, sarcastic type of guy, but any comment from him — good or bad — could help the cause. http://www.adamcarolla.com/ (here's an email address: questions@adamcarolla.com)
I'm putting together an email to him right now. Maybe if he receives enough emails about it, he'll respond. Or at least make a remark on one of his podcasts. I think he's considered a pretty generous person, and this is something he can relate to. I figure there's nothing to lose in trying...
