Corpus Chrusti, Texas (Gennaio 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; vincente 117 dei suoi attacchi. 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. Nel suo 6 fights working with Golden Boy Promotions, Belmontes defeated former IBO champion Will Tomlinson (21-0-1). Durante la sua carriera, 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 combattimenti. 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 campioni del mondo, and had wins over 4 undefeated foes.

“It is weird retiring at 28 {anni} but I had a great career. I fought on TV, represented my city {Il corpo di Cristo} and family name. I got to make a little money and was able to provide a different life for my wife and kids. Più importante, 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 anni. 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 Gennaio 11, 2017a Corpus Christi, Texas to officially announce his retirement.

Boxing Manager and 2016 Forbes “30 Meno di 30 anni” Honoree Adrian Clark Offers Manifesto to Help Fighters Clarify Roles

A Revolution in Boxer-Manager Relationships
DALLAS, TEXAS, Febbraio 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, nel pugilato, 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 (Sportivo) per 2016. He has just released his first book, titolato “io: Una guida per i giovani imprenditori,” 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), gratuito. 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, chi ha un Marzo 12 showdown with David Lemieux in Montreal, Quebec. All'età 25, Clark was certified by the National Basketball Players Association as a “Player Agent” (Sports Agent). Clark founded AC Sports Management, LLC, in 2012.

Nome e valore nominale sono molto essenziale quando si cerca di atleti di mercato così quando mi vedi, vedete i miei ragazzi. Quando vedi i miei ragazzi, mi vedete, anche se non siamo lì in forma fisica, noi tutti rappresentiamo l'altro. Guardando il documentario mi ha costretto a fermarsi e ammirare ciò che ho fatto e quello che questi atleti stanno facendo,” ha detto Clark

Salto De la Rosa libero da Don King, poi lo ha ottenuto 2 grandi lotte su Showtime PPV e HBO. Ha fatto più soldi in 2 lotte di tutta la sua carriera combinati. I negotiated a world title shot fight for Belmontes, guadagnandosi la maggior parte dei soldi della sua carriera. Ho lavorato per ottenere Ray Ximenez di nuovo libero da un contratto promozionale cattivo e attiva, il suo modo di grandi lotte. Ho firmato una prospettiva straordinaria in Oscar Mojica che è un futuro campione al 118 lbs. e ha debuttato una futura star a 140 in Steve Belmontes. 2014 è stato un anno straordinario per la gestione AC Sports, LLC. Cercando di capitalizzare nel 2015.”

“La pazienza è la chiave nel business della boxe. Si deve capire che il tempismo è tutto e il lavoro forzato non è questo il modo. AJ Galante {che è probabilmente l'unico altro gestore nel suo '20} e capisco che siamo i giovani di sangue nello sport. In 5 o 10 anni saremo di Al Haymon, Di Frank Espinoza e Cameron Dunkin di… Ragazzi di grande nome e reti cercherà di lavorare con noi. Sappiamo che e lavoriamo sempre preparando e strategizing di portare avanti la straordinaria eredità di boxe nella speranza di lasciare un'eredità della nostra. La sua piuttosto fresco.”
