Dan Caldwell, better known as “Punkass,” thinks TapouT still has a lot of room to grow.
And Caldwell, who co-founded the MMA apparel giant with Charles “Mask”
Lewis in 1997, believes TapouT’s new parent company, Authentic Brands
Group, can take it to a level of visibility associated with brands such
as Nike, Reebok and Under Armour.
“We had formulated a plan in our head how we thought that would get
done,” Caldwell told MMAjunkie.com. “But things like
that take money. So you need to bring in the right guys to take the
brand to that level, and these were the guys.”
