COMBAT SPORTS CONSULTING
SCOTT SULLIVAN
ERIC BRAINSKY
​
Our partnership was built on a shared vision: to bring world-class combat sporting events to the Greater Boston area—an iconic sports region with a rich fighting spirit that deserves a bigger stage for boxing and MMA.
It all began when Scott Sullivan, a lifelong boxing insider with deep connections in the sport, met Eric Brainsky, a seasoned attorney and boxing enthusiast, at a local gym. What started as casual conversation around training quickly evolved into deeper discussions about the future of combat sports in Boston. Scott had a bold idea—to elevate the region's fight scene by delivering top-tier events that would excite fans, attract elite athletes, and make Boston a premier destination for combat sports.
Eric saw the potential and brought the idea directly to Sam Horn, a former Major League Baseball player and beloved Boston sports figure, at an event the two were attending. Sam, now serving as a corporate ambassador for the Red Sox and a passionate supporter of Boston sports culture, immediately saw the opportunity. Once Sam expressed interest, Eric brought the concept to his law partner, Mike Levinson, a respected attorney with a strong track record in business and sports representation.
When the four of us finally sat down together, the alignment was instant. Each of us brought a different strength to the table:
-
Scott, with his firsthand experience in boxing and long-standing relationships with fighters, trainers, and promoters;
-
Eric and Mike, bringing strategic, legal, and operational expertise honed through decades of practice and dealmaking;
-
Sam, offering unmatched knowledge of the Boston sports landscape and a powerful ability to engage both fans and business leaders alike.
What united us was more than just complementary skills—it was a shared commitment to building something new. We believe Boston is long overdue for a spotlight in the combat sports world, and together, we’re setting the stage for that transformation. Our team is rooted in trust, vision, and an unshakable belief in what’s possible when the right people come together at the right time.
This is more than a partnership—it’s a mission to create something lasting, exciting, and uniquely Boston.
