Boxing Promoters Association
meets for second time
September 14, 2009
(SEPT 14) Today marked the second meeting
of the much anticipated formation of the Boxing Promoters Association
(BPA). Progress continued to be made in this historic venture, as once
again close to thirty of the United States top promoters met together at
the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.
After an all-day meeting, the promoters established and elected a Board
of Directors, three Officers, as well as created eight working
committees that will report recommendations to the Association.
The Association's board of directors was voted on by all the members in
attendance. After the voting was tallied, it was determined that the
Board would be made up of Joe DeGuardia of Star Boxing, Lou DiBella of
DiBella Entertainment, Art Pelullo of Banner Promotions, Jimmy
Burchfield of Classic Entertainment and Sports, and Don Chargin of Don
Chargin Productions.
The Officers elected by the membership were:
Joe DeGuardia, Star Boxing - President
