At Pro Sports MVP, we pride ourselves on being a reliable, solutions-driven partner, ready to act swiftly when challenges arise. Our recent collaboration with Joey Chestnut, the world’s greatest competitive eater, is a perfect example of how we step in to deliver exceptional results, even under tight timelines.
A New Opportunity Emerges
On June 11, 2024, we learned that Joey Chestnut’s long-standing participation in Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest had come to an unexpected halt. Due to a contract dispute with Nathan’s involving a perceived conflict with another brand, Joey was barred from competing in the renowned July 4th contest—an event he had dominated by winning 16 of the last 17 years.
Faced with this sudden shift, Joey wanted to uphold his July 4th tradition. At Pro Sports MVP, we knew we could help—and fast.
Pro Sports MVP Steps Up
Within 24 hours, on June 12, we reached out to Joey and his management team with a clear message: We’re ready to make this happen. We immediately got to work, initiating outreach to military bases across the country to explore hosting options.
After several conversations and careful coordination, we secured an invitation from Fort Bliss on June 21. With less than two weeks remaining, our team hit the ground running to handle every detail—from logistics to production—ensuring the event was ready to go by July 4th.
A July 4th Celebration for the Troops
On Independence Day, Joey Chestnut brought his competitive spirit and patriotic pride to Fort Bliss, where he delighted service members with a thrilling hot dog eating contest. The event was streamed live on Joey’s YouTube channel, attracting over 10 million impressions across social media platforms.
Joey’s presence boosted morale and gave the troops a fun, memorable way to celebrate the holiday. His dedication to tradition—and to the men and women in uniform—shined through, making the event a powerful example of both patriotism and perseverance.
Mission Accomplished: Delivering Results, Fast
This experience exemplifies what makes Pro Sports MVP unique: our ability to provide creative solutions on short notice and execute them flawlessly. From initial outreach on June 12 to a fully executed event on July 4, we pulled off a remarkable production in just 12 days.
At Pro Sports MVP, we thrive under pressure and love helping athletes like Joey Chestnut connect with audiences in meaningful ways. We’re proud to have been part of this one-of-a-kind event and grateful to Fort Bliss for hosting such a special celebration.
