Full Tilt Poker decided to do a little diversified marketing when they put their money and their name behind Middleweight title contender Winky Wright in a boxing showdown held Saturday, June 17 at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, TN. Wright was hoping to win away the belt held by Jermain Taylor, but it wasn't to be so.
The Winky crew, all decked out in Full Tilt Poker gear according to the agreement they had with the poker web site, was disappointed by the draw outcome, as it meant that Taylor hadn't actually been beaten. Because he wasn't beaten, Taylor got to hold on to the championship belt. This is Full Tilt's second foray into boxing marketing.
