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

 

 

Tipicamente, no boxeo, 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 (Deportes) para 2016. He has just released his first book, titulou “i: 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), de balde. 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 Marzo 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, en 2012.

Clark de Dallas, Texas tornouse rapidamente unha das máis brillantes mentes mozos na industria de boxeo e está saíndo dunha estelar 2014 onde liderou loitadores como James De La Rosa para aparicións na Floyd Mayweather – Marcos Maidana II eliminatoria onde derrotou o ex campión do mundo Alfredo Angulo, así como unha loita de decembro, HBO Boxing After Dark.
Outro cliente, Jerry Belmontes loitou WBC campión dos lixeiros Omar Figueroa na canle Showtime Championship Boxing nun ataque en que a maioría das persoas que viron a loita penso Belmontes vencera unha decisión para capturar o cinto, pero perdeu por decisión dividida.
“Foi unha experiencia incrible facer un mini-documental. Aínda que o punto focal era eu mesmo, os loitadores que eu traballo para conseguir unha boa exposición tamén. Nome e valor de cara son moi importantes ao tentar atletas mercado Entón, cando me ver, ves meus rapaces. Cando ves meus rapaces, me ver, aínda que non existen na forma física, todo o que representan o outro. Vendo o documental me obrigado a parar e admirar o que eu fixen e que estes atletas están facendo,” dixo Clark
“In five years & en 28 years old now, Gustaríame que o crer que eu teño feito un bo traballo, especialmente cando se traballa só, sen apoio. Eu salto De la Rosa libre de Don King, entón pegamos 2 grandes loitas no Showtime PPV e HBO. Fixo máis diñeiro en 2 loitas que toda a súa carreira combinados. I negotiated a world title shot fight for Belmontes, o que lle valeu máis diñeiro na súa carreira. Eu traballei para chegar Ray Ximenez libre dun mal contrato promoción e activa de novo, a camiño de loitas maiores. Eu asinei unha perspectiva incrible en Oscar Mojica que é un campión no futuro 118 lbs. e estreouse unha futura estrela no 140 en Steve Belmontes. 2014 foi un ano incrible para a Xestión AC Sports, LLC. Mirando para capitalizar en 2015.”
“Hai unha morea de cousas incribles suceder no boxeo agora. Son novo, para arriba e próximos e tentando manter un nome respectado. Eu ollo para traballar e construír relacións saudables con Banner Promotions, Roc Nation, Top Rank e promotores locais. Eu teño unha relación fantástica con Golden Boy e Principais Eventos; Espero manter eses lazos fortes e tomar as mellores loitas que inclúen os meus rapaces.”
“Paciencia é a clave para o negocio do boxeo. Un deles ten a comprensión de que o timing é todo e traballo forzado non é o camiño. AJ Galante {que é, probablemente, o único outro director nos seus 20 anos} e eu entendo que somos os mozos de sangue no deporte. En 5 ou 10 anos estaremos do Al Haymon, Frank Espinoza e Cameron Dunkin de… Caras de gran nome e redes van ollar para o traballo a través de nós. Sabemos que e estamos constantemente a preparación e elaboración de estratexias para continuar o legado incrible de boxeo, na esperanza de deixar un legado de nosa propia. Súa moi legal.”
