Corpus Chrusti, Texas (Januari 4, 2017) –Former Lightweight world title contender, Jerry ‘Corpus Christi Kid’ Belmontes, 21-10(6kos) has decided to hang up his gloves and cross over to the business side of boxing.

The fighting pride of Corpus Christi, Belmontes began fighting at age 10. He learned to use his great footwork and slippery style to build himself into a decorated amateur; vinnande 117 av hans matcher. Jerry began his professional career under the Top Rank promotional arm. After a split with the company in 2010, Jerry later inked a deal with Main Events which was also short lived. His final pact with a promotional company came from Golden Boy which presented big opportunities against big names. I hans 6 fights working with Golden Boy Promotions, Belmontes defeated former IBO champion Will Tomlinson (21-0-1). Under sin karriär, Belmontes had quality wins over undefeated Valentin Golovko (21-0), Daniel Diaz (19-4-1) and Joselito Collado (13-1), and earned a world title shot of his own versus amateur rival, Omar Figueroa. In controversial fashion, Belmontes was handed a split decision loss in which many thought he had beaten Figueroa.
The second half of Belmontes career was a downward spiral, losing 6 of his final 8 slagsmål. He was stopped for the first time in his career by current WBA Lightweight champion Jason Sosa. In his final bout, Belmontes was defeated by Julian Rodriguez in Florida.
Belmontes faced 5 världsmästare, and had wins over 4 undefeated foes.

“It is weird retiring at 28 {år gammal} but I had a great career. I fought on TV, represented my city {Corpus Christi} and family name. I got to make a little money and was able to provide a different life for my wife and kids. Viktigast, I walk away in one piece and not in bad health.”

Jerry believes his career was indeed an education for him to guide fighters and help them on the business side of the sport.

“I learned a lot about the business of boxing in my 9 år. Although my time retired will be mostly spent with my wife and kids, I will be announcing the start of a new company with my manager {Adrian Clark} that will help educate and protect fighters.”

Belmontes is holding a press conference at the American Bank Center on Januari 11, 2017i Corpus Christi, Texas to officially announce his retirement.

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.

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.”
