"Much like (Messrs.) Stallone and De Niro are luminaries in their industry, Slime and Fix-A-Flat are heavyweights in theirs," said Patrick Mallon, director of marketing for Accessories Marketing Inc., the marketer of both the Slime and Fix-a-Flat polymer tire sealants.

"We thought having Slime and Fix-A-Flat square off in the spirit of the film Grudge Match would be fun and exciting."

In the movie, Messrs. De Niro and Stallone play Billy "The Kid" McDonnen and Henry "Razor" Sharp, respectively, boxers from Pittsburgh whose rivalry put them in the national spotlight 30 years earlier, according to Warner Bros.' summary of the movie.

The "Grudge Match" is a promoter's idea of allowing them to settle their three-decade old stalemate.
