NEW YORK (TheStreet) — There’s a business for every need–and even some you didn’t know you had.
Take a company called Lingerie Fighting Championships (BOTY) It’s an actual business with real shareholders–although not many.
Its business is pretty much what its name implies–less-than-genuine wrestling competitions where scantily clad ladies duke it out à la World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE – Get Report) In case you didn’t notice, its stock symbol is BOTY, as in booty.
Its shares are traded on the OTC Pink market–a speculative, loosely regulated market–at $5 a share. There’s not much volume.
The Las Vegas-based company filed documentation with the SEC on Thursday to sell an additional 3.9 million shares of its common stock.
“We are excited about going public because it allows us to bring more attention to the Lingerie Fighting Championships and to further build our brand,” said company CEO Shaun Donnelly in a statement via email to TheStreet.
So far, the company has hosted only one event–The Lingerie Fighting Championships 20: A Midsummer Night’s Dream was held in Las Vegas on Aug. 8. LFC hopes to put together its second event in October, but with just $117,000 in working capital, the budget may be a bit tight.
Connelly noted the event was “very well received by fans,” and was featured on multiple cable and satellite systems including ATT, Charter, Comcast and more.
Whether or not you buy it, LFC isn’t the only company out there with an unconventional business.
Here are 10 others, some of which also sell stock, that offer some pretty colorful products or services.
