Edit: Well, let me qualify that. I think he manages those three, but he sets up sponsorship deals for several other riders without being their "manager."
Pretty sure MC and Wey are not Crown clients

This is going to make a great story one day, it's not finished though. The rise and fall of a greedy guy from PA.

I tried to write about it a while back and everywhere I turned, there was no comments from anyone, including Scott.

Poor guy?/ WTF

If he is indeed doing what's being said he needs to be blackballed from anyone teams within the racing community. And he can try to hise himself within other names or ownerships of his firm but it always comes out sooner than later.

Poor Guy?!

The guy made shady deals, got greedy, skimmed sponsorship money , and finally got his act figured out. How is he the "poor guy". He may be poor after this all shakes out.

I thought MC was under that lady up in LA?

Or is that just a "publicist"

Matthes, is this the same guy that had the surf shop/clothing company way way back?

Monster yes, Sepkovic no. Luckily neither company dealt with him, always Monster direct.

He used to own Rip Rock Surf wear in the 80's.

Wow. So, crooks are going to get called to the carpet in the motorcycle industry? This could take a while!

So what happens if Sepkovic reps the rider and his wife works with the sponsors? That would really muddy the waters even more because it separates the dual representation, but kind of doesn't separate them....

How is he a kook/crook?

If he earns a check from setting someone up with a deal making money, do you think he should do it for free?

Even if he didnt file his papers with the state right, IMO, he's bad at the business side, but maybe great at public relations and good at setting up deals and negotiating.

I'd bet plenty in the moto industry suck at book keeping but are kick ass at their job.

However much commission he makes is up to those making the deal.

If you don't like it, negotiate your own deal.

They should be pissed then, because they are featured prominently on the Crown AMG website.

Bob and Sal of Conexxions are the only guys in the Biz that I know...that have degrees...and a VERY Legit-Firm behind them.

The other day I'm in a meeting, a rider walks in with his "Agent"...actually an Agent's gopher...from a "group" that's been in this biz for a while. It broke my heart that this rider had this group as his agency.

Why?

Because too much of what is in this thread is too true; but, there are still some good agents out there. I've seen it.

I'm jus' sayin'...

Two things I noticed in this thread:

1. Some people get it. Some just don't.
2. FTE is an artist with the english language.

The lawsuit alleges that PC's contract with Crown, signed in 2004, is void because Crown did not list PC as a party Crown has represented or is representing on a form filed with the state of California.

So PC wants a refund of all commissions paid to Crown from the Monster deal (and other deals, I believe) since 2004- $500,000.

I wonder what this spells out for the future of Monster and PC. Some serious bad juju going on with that relationship. Will PC be running with Monster sponsorship next year?

Of course, Crown is also suing Monster, alleging "that Monster unlawfully interfered with Crown AMG's business, by, among other things, filing lawsuits against Crown AMG clients, instructing Crown AMG clients not to pay Crown AMG, and making false representations to Crown AMG and its clients," according to one article.

Back up the truck. Make sure it's a 53 footer because we have to haul a lot of baggage. And you wonder why the riders can't make any money.
