From A Wikipedia page:

Sam Bat is not owned by Wilson. It was founded by Sam Holman in 1997 and was owned independently by him until 2007 when it became owned by four individuals, none of which have any association with Wilson. The confusion probably derives from a distribution deal Sam Bat had with Wilson some time ago, in which Wilson had their logo added to the bat, although Wilson never played any part in the ownership or manufacturing of the product.

I'm not a boxing collector, but saw this and picked it up.
