A Porn site has offered to sponsor Miami Heat stadium as the Miami based team is looking for a new stadium sponsorship partner after the collapse of cryptocurrency firm FTX, the Miami Heat’s stadium sponsor, whose name will no longer be on the famous basketball club stadium despite signing a 19-year, $135 million deal last year.
“The reports about FTX and its affiliates are extremely disappointing. Miami-Dade County and the Miami Heat are taking immediate steps to terminate our business with FTX, and we will be working together to find a new naming rights partner for the arena,” the statement said.
Before FTX struck a deal with the Heat, adult website Bang Bros. offered $10 million for the naming rights, and now that the team is done with FTX, it tweeted again that the offer is still on the table.

In a tweet, Bang Bros posted two images of the stadium as seen from above, one with the caption “Bankrupt” across the picture, and with an “Oooppsssss…” as a comment. And just below the image, one of what the stadium roof would look like with the website’s logo, and the phrases “But hey, our offer still stands” and “We promise less people will get f****ed”
They later posted a tweet noting, “In light of the FTX news, our offer remains to purchase the naming rights to the FTX Arena. Miami needs The Bang Bros Center!”.
The Los Angeles Lakers’ former home, the Staples Center, is now known as Crypto.com Arena. Last year, Crypto.com paid $700 million for the naming rights to the arena.
Miami Heat is currently in third place in the NBA’s Southeast Division with a 5-7 record, trailing just Atlanta and Washington.
