Jornalista responsável: Anna Carolina Cortez Diagramação e tratamento: Fábio Vantini Direção de Arte - Big Blue Licenses - Monica Arruda e Carlos Ameni Impressão:Type Brasil INTRODUÇÃO Bad Boy, a primeira em lutas! A Bad Boy chegou ao Brasil em 1992 através de Marco Antônio Merhej e Nair Afonso, um casal de surfistas que possuía uma marca de surf, a ST COMP. A Bad Boy se tornou referência nacional. Patrocinou atletas e eventos, formou campeões e apoiou as lutas até mesmo quando os olhos da população estavam voltados para outras modalidades de esporte. E, no momento em que os holofotes se voltam para os ringues e mostram ao mundo um pouco mais sobre as artes marciais, a Bad Boy mostra que sempre esteve presente nos tatames, nos ringues e na vida dos atletas. Nas páginas a seguir apresentamos um pouco do que fez a Bad Boy se tornar a “Imagem da Vitória, a Marca do Guerreiro”. 1982 O INÍCIO A Bad Boy surgiu no início dos anos 80, em San Diego, Califórnia como uma marca local de surf, skate e motorsports, patrocinando atletas com personalidade forte e de atitude como o Havaiano Johnny Boy Gomes. Dez anos depois da criação da Bad Boy, dois novos personagens entraram em cena: Marco Antônio Merhej e Nair Afonso. Para promover a ST Comp, loja de surf da qual eram donos, eles realizavam campeonatos de surf no Brasil e viajavam para todos os cantos do mundo para fazer pesquisas de mercado.
