A Revolution in Boxer-Manager Relationships
DALLAS, TEXAS, Februar 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.

 

 

Typisk, i boksning, 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) for 2016. He has just released his first book, titlen “jeg: A Guide for Young Entrepreneurs,” 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, who has a Marts 12 showdown with David Lemieux in Montreal, Quebec. I en alder 25, Clark was certified by the National Basketball Players Association as a “Player Agent” (Sports Agent). Clark founded AC Sports Management, LLC, i 2012.

Dallas, TX (Januar 28, 2015)–Op og kommer boksning leder Adrian Clark har udgivet en mini dokumentarfilm, krøniker en uge i livet i sin karriere, da han fører op til en fight.The Dokumentar har titlen Adrian Clark: Before The Bell

Clark i Dallas, Texas er hurtigt blevet en af ​​de klogeste unge hjerner i boksning branchen og kommer fra en stjernes 2014 hvor han ledede krigere som James De La Rosa til optrædener på Floyd Mayweather – Marcos Maidana II undercard, hvor han besejrede tidligere verdensmester Alfredo Angulo samt en kamp december om HBO Boxing After Dark.
En anden klient, Jerry Belmontes kæmpede WBC Letvægts mester Omar Figueroa på Showtime Championship Boxing i en kamp, ​​hvor de fleste mennesker, der kiggede på kampen troede Belmontes havde vundet en beslutning om at fange båndet men tabte via split beslutning.
“Det var en fantastisk oplevelse at gøre en mini dokumentar. Selvom omdrejningspunktet var mig selv, krigere, jeg arbejder for få god eksponering også. Navn og pålydende værdi er meget afgørende, når forsøger at markedsføre atleter så når du ser mig, du se mine gutter. Når du ser mine gutter, du ser mig selv om vi ikke er der i den fysiske form, vi alle repræsenterer hinanden. Watching dokumentarfilm tvang mig til at stoppe op og beundre, hvad jeg har gjort, og hvad disse atleter gør,” Said Clark
“In five years & på 28 years old now, Jeg vil gerne tro, jeg har gjort et temmelig godt stykke arbejde, især arbejder af mig selv uden opbakning. Jeg hopper De la Rosa fri fra Don King, derefter fik ham 2 store slagsmål på Showtime PPV og HBO. Han gjorde flere penge i 2 slagsmål end hele sin karriere kombineret. I negotiated a world title shot fight for Belmontes, tjene ham flest penge i hans karriere. Jeg arbejdede for at få Ray Ximenez fri fra en dårlig salgsfremmende kontrakt og aktiv igen, på vej til større slagsmål. Jeg underskrev en fantastisk udsigt i Oscar Mojica der er en fremtid champ på 118 lbs. og debuterede en kommende stjerne på 140 i Steve Belmontes. 2014 var en fantastisk år for AC Sports Management, LLC. Ønsker du at udnytte i 2015.”
“Der er en masse fantastiske ting i boksning lige nu. Jeg er ung, op og kommer og forsøger at opretholde et respekteret navn. Jeg ser til at arbejde og opbygge sunde relationer med Banner Kampagner, Roc Nation, Top Rank og lokale initiativtagere. Jeg har et fantastisk forhold til gyldne dreng og Main Events; Jeg håber at opretholde disse stærke bindinger og gøre de bedste kampe, der indeholder mine gutter.”
“Tålmodighed er nøglen i boksning forretning. Man skal forstå, at timing er alt og tvungen arbejde er ikke den måde. AJ Galante {der er sandsynligvis den eneste anden manager i hans 20'erne} og jeg forstår, at vi er de unge blodets i sporten. I 5 eller 10 år vil vi være Al Haymon s, Frank Espinoza s og Cameron Dunkin 's… Store navn fyre og netværk vil se at arbejde gennem os. Vi ved, at vi hele tiden forberede og strategiplanlægning at fortsætte den fantastiske arv fra boksning i håb om at forlade en arv af vores egne. Dens temmelig cool.”
