Corpus Chrusti, Texas (Januar 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; vinnende 117 av hans bouts. 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 sin 6 fights working with Golden Boy Promotions, Belmontes defeated former IBO champion Will Tomlinson (21-0-1). I løpet av sin karriere, 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 kamper. 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 verdensmestere, and had wins over 4 undefeated foes.

“It is weird retiring at 28 {år} but I had a great career. I fought on TV, represented my city {Kristi kropp} and family name. I got to make a little money and was able to provide a different life for my wife and kids. Viktigst, 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.”

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

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 boksing, 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, tittelen “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), 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.

Navn og ansikt verdi er svært viktig når du prøver å markeds idrettsutøvere så når du ser meg, du se mine gutter. Når du ser mine gutter, du ser meg selv om vi ikke er der i den fysiske formen, vi alle representerer hverandre. Ser dokumentaren tvang meg til å stoppe opp og beundre hva jeg har gjort og hva disse utøverne gjør,” Said Clark
“In five years & ved 28 years old now, Jeg vil gjerne tro at jeg har gjort en ganske god jobb, spesielt jobbe med meg selv uten støtte. Jeg hoppe De la Rosa fri fra Don King, deretter fikk ham 2 store kamper på Showtime PPV og HBO. Han gjorde mer penger i 2 kamper enn hele sin karriere kombinert. I negotiated a world title shot fight for Belmontes, tjene ham mest penger i sin karriere. Jeg jobbet for å få Ray Ximenez fri fra en dårlig reklamekontrakt og aktiv igjen, på vei til større kamper. Jeg signerte en fantastisk prospektet i Oscar Mojica som er en fremtidig mester på 118 lbs. og debuterte en fremtidig stjerne på 140 i Steve Belmontes. 2014 var et fantastisk år for AC Sports Management, LLC. Ønsker å kapitalisere i 2015.”

Jeg ser til å arbeide og bygge sunne relasjoner med Banner Kampanjer, Roc Nation, Top Rank og lokale arrangører. Jeg har et fantastisk forhold med gylne Boy og Main Events; Jeg håper å opprettholde de sterke bånd og gjøre det beste kamper som inkluderer mine gutter.”
“Tålmodighet er nøkkelen i boksing virksomhet. Man må forstå at timing er alt og tvunget arbeid er ikke veien. AJ Galante {som er trolig den eneste andre lederen i 20-årene} og jeg forstår at vi er de unge blodets i sporten. I 5 eller 10 år vil vi være Al Haymon s, Frank Espinozas og Cameron Dunkins… Store navn gutter og nettverk vil se å arbeide gjennom oss. Vi vet det, og vi er hele tiden å forberede og legge strategier for å bære på den fantastiske arven fra boksing i håp om å forlate en arv fra vår egen. Det ganske kult.”
