Maverik Lacrosse Revenue and Competitors

The MLL offered the exclusive sponsorship to us over two years ago. They came to us first because of our involvement in Team USA. At that time, the other guys in our industry were laughing at the MLL concept. They never thought it would work. Even the players you listed never thought it would work. Warrior was the only company that had the balls to get behind MLL and support it. If it didn't work, they would have all lined up, pointed fingers and laughed. I have been working closely with Jake every single day for almost three years to get the league to this point. This has been dream ever since I was a kid to see professional outdoor lacrosse. Now that it's a success, the "johnny come latelies" start belly-aching because they are not involved. We saw an opportunity and jumped on it. That's what business is all about. So did other exclusive sponsors. Sport Helmets is the exclusive helmet supplier, Reebok is the exclusive footwear supplier, Budweiser, Sobe and Yahoo have exclusive deals for their product categories as well. The other lacrosse companies have been offered sponsorship deals and have turned them down. What more can we do? We have committed over 2 million dollars in cash and product for our sponsorship commitment. This is the single largest lacrosse sponsorship in the history of the sport. Nothing comes even close. These type of cash sponsorship commitments are important to leagues business model. If the league would not have offered Warrior exclusivity, we would have never made such an aggressive commitment. Our goal is simple. We want to grow the game of lacrosse. I believe MLL will be the catalyst to make this a national recognized sport. I am willing to take a big bet to do it.
