Chicago, Illinois- World Champion and living legend Johnny "Scorpion" Archer has signed on to be represented by international events company Dragon Promotions. Archer has easily been one of the most winning players of all time in the sport of billiards. With titles such as the US Open 9-Ball Championship, two World Championships, and induction to the BCA Hall of Fame, Archer has become one of the most recognizable figures in pool and teaming with Dragon Promotions will further promote his name and brands.
"Dragon Promotions is one of the best pool companies out there. Cindy Lee and Charlie Williams do a wonderful job promoting events and their players and I'm really pleased to be with them. I hope we can do more together for the sport", said Archer.
"Johnny is one of the few real icons in the sport of billiards. When you talk about someone who has done it all, he really has. His titles and credentials list is too long to list. And in the overseas markets, he is one of the very few recognizable western names. And he is still hot and winning events," said Cindy Lee, CEO of Dragon Promotions.
Johnny Archer hailed from the small town of Twin City, Georgia of a population of less than 2000 people. This small town wonder went on to win over 60 professional titles in his career.
