NEW YORK, NY – Oktober 16, 2018 – Everlast Worldwide, världens ledande tillverkare, marknadsförare och licensgivare för boxning, MMA and fitness equipment and Protect Yourself at All Times (PYaAT) creator, Adrian Clark are partnering up to introduce the first ever PYaAT symposium.

 

 

 

In nearly all major sports there are player associations or governing bodies that control contracts, agent fees, health benefits, retirement plans and even regulates athlete representation. Boxing remains the only major sport without an organized association, nor a system to help the athletes within the business of the sport.

 

“Partnering with Everlast Worldwide to push the issue on educating the fighters and protecting them outside of the ring is a genius move. It will provide PYaAT a global platform and longer reach. Education is key, no matter where you’re from. We will make sure the knowledge is available for the fighters.” Clark stated.

 

 

 

PYaAT breaks the mold of the fighters beginning; and navigating their careers in the dark. The symposium will serve as a continuing education tool for fighters and their families. Along with the symposium, PYaAT will be providing exclusive merchandise and issuing a monthly newsletter with updated information in the boxing business.

 

 

 

Protect Yourself at All Times will also be included in Everlast most recent worldwide ad campaign, “Be First”. Clark will join the likes of Heavyweight champ, Deontay Wilder, Dustin Poirier and Mikaela Mayer as trailblazers; not afraid to go against the grain and be the first to do, or start something.

 

“Everlast’s Be First global ad campaign is committed to showcasing and supporting individuals that break ground and find unique ways to reach their goals.” said Chris Zoller, Vice President of Marketing and Product Development for Everlast. “Not only is Adrian blazing a new path for himself but for boxers everywhere. We are 100% behind him and what PYaAT does for the sport of boxing.”

 

 

 

Everlast and Adrian Clark have been collaborating on educating fighters on the business of boxing since 2016. The PYaAT Symposium will be a continuation of a multi-year partnership between Everlast and Clark which included a best-selling book, podcast and documentary.

 

 

 

Clark ended by saying, “Everlast has supported the entire PYaAT campaign from the beginning. Us taking our partnership to another level helps me reach my goal to educate as many fighters as possible, all over the globe. This is game-changing for fighters.”

In unprecedented fashion, Clark delivers this blueprint for professional boxers with 12 rundor (chapters) of concise recommendations to help boxers empower themselves and protect their careers. Also included are testimonials from more than 40 current and retired fighters about their experiences in the business.

“The book is just the beginning of what will become a movement to protect professional boxers outside the ring,” sade Clark, who began representing fighters at 23 år gammal. “It is well overdue for someone to lead the charge and educate the fighters on the business side of things. Every fighter, and everyone closely connected to a fighter, should read this book.”

As a fighter advocate as well as a manager, Clark recently released the “Boxer-Manager Agreement,” a standard, legal document for boxers to contract the services of their manager or adviser. The ‘Boxer Manager Agreement’ can be downloaded on the AC Sports Management, LLC, webbplats,www.ACsportsm.com.

Boxing Manager and 2016 Forbes “30 Under 30 år” Honoree Adrian Clark Offers Manifesto to Help Fighters Clarify Roles

A Revolution in Boxer-Manager Relationships
DALLAS, TEXAS, Februari 11, 2015 – In an unprecedented move, boxing manager and owner of AC Sports Management, Adrian Clark, has issued a challenge to professional boxers all over the world in the form of a free legal document: The Boxer-Manager Agreement now allows professional fighters to contract the services of their managers.

 

 

Typiskt, i boxning, the manager has the boxer under contract for a minimum of three years. The Boxer-Manager Agreement clarifies the role and duties of the manager, giving both parties the opportunity to evaluate one another fairly and to ensure the boxer is in the executive position.

 

“I want guys to develop a mindset of a CEO,” Clark said, “because that’s what they are. They must understand what it is to be in a position of power and able to call shots and make tough executive decisions in their careers.”

 

Clark’s main concern is that many boxers may be working as if they are the subordinate, unlike other executives. “Name me one CEO that is under contract to his spokesperson, or to anyone he is paying” Clark said.

 

Clark, currently in his sixth year of boxing management, has been selected as one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 (Sport) för 2016. He has just released his first book, titled “jag: En guide för unga företagare,” available from Amazon.

 

“As a business owner, I do what makes sense in regards to business, Clark said. “I have been in the boxing business long enough to see that the common boxer-manager arrangement does not make sense. I’d like to think this document is a game-changer in the sport of boxing for the athletes. It is now up to the athletes to exercise this agreement and be in more control of their careers and who is representing them.”

 

The Boxer-Manager Agreement is available for download on Clark’s website (www.ACsportsm.com/manifesto.html), gratis. Clark has recorded a video there encouraging fighters to download the document. He also urges them to further educate themselves on the business they are in.

 

A graduate of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Clark currently manages seven clients, including former world title challenger Jerry Belmontes, former IBO World champion Will Tomlinson, and James de la Rosa, som har en Mars 12 showdown with David Lemieux in Montreal, Quebec. At age 25, Clark was certified by the National Basketball Players Association as a “Player Agent” (Sports Agent). Clark founded AC Sports Management, LLC, i 2012.

Boxing manager Adrian Clark releases mini documentary Adrian Clark: Innan The Bell på Youtube

Lämna en kommentar
Dallas, TX (Januari 28, 2015)–Upp och kommande boxning manager Adrian Clark har släppt en mini dokumentär som skil en vecka i livet av sin karriär som han leder upp till en fight.The Dokumentär har titeln Adrian Clark: Before The Bell

Clark i Dallas, Texas har snabbt blivit en av de skarpaste unga sinnen i boxning branschen och kommer från en stellar 2014 där han ledde fighters som James De La Rosa till framträdanden på Floyd Mayweather – Marcos Maidana II card där han besegrade förre världsmästaren Alfredo Angulo samt en December kamp på HBO Boxing After Dark.
En annan klient, Jerry Belmontes kämpade WBC Lätt mästare Omar Figueroa på Showtime Championship Boxing i en match där de flesta människor som tittade kampen trodde Belmontes hade vunnit ett beslut om att fånga bältet men förlorade via delad beslut.
“Det var en fantastisk upplevelse att göra en mini dokumentär. Även om fokus var själv, kämparna jag arbetar för att få bra exponering även. Namn och nominellt värde är mycket viktigt när man försöker marknads idrottare så när du ser mig, du mina grabbar. När du mina grabbar, du ser mig, även om vi inte är där i fysisk form, vi alla representerar varandra. Titta dokumentären tvingade mig att stanna upp och beundra vad jag har gjort och vad dessa idrottare gör,” sade Clark
“In five years & vid 28 years old now, Jag vill att tror jag har gjort ett ganska bra jobb, särskilt arbeta med mig själv utan stöd. Jag hoppar De la Rosa fri från Don King, sedan fick honom 2 stora slagsmål på Showtime PPV och HBO. Han gjorde mer pengar i 2 slagsmål än hela sin karriär kombinerade. I negotiated a world title shot fight for Belmontes, tjäna honom mest pengar i hans karriär. Jag arbetade för att få Ray Ximenez fri från en dålig PR kontrakt och aktiv igen, på väg till större slagsmål. Jag undertecknade en fantastisk utsikt i Oscar Mojica som är en framtida mästare på 118 Ibs. och debuterade en framtida stjärna på 140 i Steve Belmontes. 2014 var ett fantastiskt år för AC Sports Management, LLC. Funderar du på att kapitalisera 2015.”
“Det finns en massa fantastiska saker som händer i boxning just nu. Jag är ung, upp och kommer och försöker upprätthålla ett respekterat namn. Jag ser att arbeta och bygga sunda relationer med Banner Kampanjer, Roc Nation, Top Ranking och lokala promotorer. Jag har en fantastisk relation med Golden Boy och Main Events; Jag hoppas att behålla dessa starka band och göra de bästa slagsmål som inkluderar mina killar.”
“Tålamod är nyckeln i boxning affärer. Man måste förstå att timing är allt och tvångsarbete är inte rätt väg. AJ Galante {vem är förmodligen den enda andra manager i hans 20-talet} och jag förstår att vi är de unga blod s i sporten. I 5 eller 10 år ska vi vara Al Haymon s, Frank Espinoza s och Cameron Dunkin s… Stora namn killar och nätverk kommer att se att arbeta genom oss. Vi vet att vi ständigt förbereda och strategizing att fortsätta den fantastiska arv från boxning i hopp om att lämna ett arv av vår egen. Dess ganska cool.”
