GTA 6 and the really interesting sponsorship of Rockstar Games were discussed by a boxer in a new podcast episode. A few weeks ago, Rockstar Games announced that they will sponsor an up-and-coming boxer trained by a former world champion.
The company shared a short video on Instagram with the boxer along with a caption saying they are “excited to sponsor @stgeorgegroves as he trains future champion @lucasroehrig1. We wish them the best on their way to the top!”
George Groves is an ex-British, Commonwealth, European & WBA super-middleweight champion. Since leaving the ring, Groves has become a trainer and launched his own podcast. In a recent episode he brought his stunt double Lucas Roehrig to talk about his boxing career so far and how the first few months of training went.
Asked Super GTA VI Release Date
Near the end of the podcast episode, Groves co-host Dec mentions to Roehrig how he spotted the Rockstar Games logo on his jacket in the video and that it’s a big sponsor. Before Dec could continue talking about Rockstar, Groves steps in and says “Look, we don’t know anything about GTA 6 well.” To which the co-host said “That’s what I care about! When is GTA 6 coming out?”
Many fans commented on the Instagram Reel revealing the sponsorship asking when where the next GTA VI trailer is and when it will release.
George goes on to say “I don’t think they’re worried about selling more games to be honest, but it’s a personal relationship with the Rockstar guys. They’re like family now. They’re invested in the journey. They want to support us in any way they can.” and how they can, so we really appreciate it.”
The other half of the hosting duo Dec tells Lucas “maybe you could show up if, no, when you’re world champion, you’ll be in GTA 6 or maybe GTA 7 by then.” To which the young boxer responded with “yeah, that would be crazy. That would be awesome.”
It will be interesting to see where this partnership goes over the next few years. You can listen to the full podcast episode here.
