Why doesn't Ivo Karlovich have a clothing sponsor?

[flyer]

I've seen the guy wearing everything for Fred Perry to Adidas, hes the only guy I know of in the top 100 without a clothing deal and hes at 28 or something like that and more famous than a few guys above him just because of his height, does the guy really not get enough publicity to be worth a sponsorship, even if its just free clothes...or does for some reason he not want a clothing sponsor, someone explain this to me!!!!

 

[nadalfan!]

Maybe the companies don't like him and don't want to sponsor him. Who knows it all depends on them.

 

[ollinger]

Clothing manufacturers tend to shy away from outlandishly sized people to model their clothing, and this guy has a slightly ghoulish (Karloff??) image.

 

[BluDiamond]

maybe none of their clothes fit him ??? He's not a very marketable figure is he? That could be the reason

 

[jazar]

lol, i was going to say exactly the same thing

 

[Volly master]

To be known as endorsing the giant in men's tennis would be good, but I guess he doesn't want to be sponsored.

Big advertising from a big man. Money in the bank.

 

[Lefty5]

Isner's Nike contract blows the "fit" issue out of the water.... I'm guessing its just how Ivo likes to roll.

 

[iradical18]

Because he probably wouldn't make the company any money.

 

[chiru]

dude at his size, could you imagine how many endorsement patches he could fit on there? he could be a walking announcements board like the kind seen on college campuses. they should waive the logo rule just for him, for like 1 tourney, cuz i really wanna see that.

 

[dainova]

He runs his own company/line called <6-10>. Started it at home, but now after moving to US prbably bit abandonded.

 

[aceroberts13]

It would cost the company too much money to make such huge clothes for him...:lol:

 

[Leelord337]

Doesn't he have his own clothing line: 6-10?

 

[Rusedskifan]

Ivo is the man.

Nobody ever cheers for Goliath. This guy has weapons. He is one of the most down to earth players I have ever seen. He signs for all kids at the tournaments I have been to. It must be tough being that big. I love watching him play.

I cheer for goliath!!!

 

[pow]

Wouldn't fit.

Yeah, I clearly saw him wear 6'10 brand clothes last year at Indian Wells. Is that still his official apparel?

no. those "6-10 brand plans" do not exist anymore

 

[bluescreen]

really? i was in the front row of his 1st round us open match last year and he was definitely wearing them.

 

[Enlightened Coelacanth]

I understand he is working on a sponsorship deal with Rochester Big & Tall
