Good Time for Indian Boxing With Sponsorship

A four-year deal with diversified Sahara Group will boost Indian Boxing Federation to go ahead amid into economic recession. This kind of popularity has come after winning India’s first Olympic medal in boxing in Beijing last year. We can say that Vijender Kumar is working behind it to make it more popular in India. You may know that this boxer won middleweight medal in Beijing Olympic last year. Not only that but also India got three bronze medal at the last boxing world cup. India has a lot of opportunity to make some good boxer and earned some honor. Press media could not find out the amount of sponsorship. To spread its popularity, IBF has taken an important step to contract 13boxers. These players will be given graded payments.

To do such work, they will have to walk rough path as most of the people love to watch cricket or tennis and they devote themselves to be a cricketer. So, I think that IBF will have to make consciousness of this sport and try to arrange more contests inside the country.

Then, I would like to remind you about India’s national game “Hockey”. It is thought that the popularity of cricket game is the big reason to put it under threat. Sponsorship from big companies can save these games. What is your opinion about the future of boxing game?
