Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

A. Charitable organization promotions: Unarmed combats, boxing matches, wrestling programs, or martial arts exhibitions conducted under the auspices or in conjunction with any charitable organization are prohibited by the commission unless the commission grants approval for such activity. The promoter may apply for commission approval by submitting the agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the program for the commission's review.

B. Licensed matchmaker forbidden to act as manager or assignee of unarmed combatant: Matchmakers are forbidden from acting as the manager or assignee of any unarmed combatant; or from participating in any way, directly or indirectly, in the ring earnings or management of any unarmed combatant. However, the commission shall license matchmakers as managers employed by licensed promoters, if acceptable to the commission. In such cases:

(1) the matchmaker and the promoter shall be jointly responsible to the commission for any matches conducted;

(2) matches shall be conducted only by a licensed promoter or licensed matchmaker;

(3) matchmakers will be held responsible by the commission if they arrange matches in which one of the principles is outclassed; and

(4) persistent lack of judgment in this matter will be regarded as cause for suspension or revocation of the matchmaker's license, and the matchmaker shall have no further connection with any unarmed combatant or stable of unarmed combatants.

C. Restrictions on promoter as employer of other commission licensees: Licensed promoters are prohibited from employing, or in any other way having any commercial connection to, any licensed unarmed combatant, wrestler, manager or second.

D. Restrictions on other principles with regard to commission licensees:

(1) The commission prohibits any director, officer, employee, or stockholder of any licensed promoter from serving or acting, either directly or indirectly, as the manager, assignee or second to any unarmed combatant. Nor shall a promoter or matchmaker participate as an unarmed combatant in an event they are either promoting or matchmaking.

(2) The commission prohibits any director, officer, employee, or stockholder of any licensed promoter from being employed by, or in any other way being connected with, any other promoter, without the approval of the commission.
