They are not like Nevada, where you have fights all of the time. Reid said the federal commission would not supercede state athletic commissions in such states as Nevada that already have strong standards. If a state does not meet those minimum standards, then federal standards kick in. The National Boxing Commission would overlook regulations on health and safety of fighters, contracts, weight divisions, rankings, championships, medical personnel and equipment at fight cards, promoters, managers and broadcasters. Reid points out that Nevada has an outstanding athletic commission.
People look to what is going on in Nevada.
It is like our gaming commission. People concerned about gaming or boxing come to Nevada. Reid, a former chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission, cites his background in boxing. Reid boxed as an amateur, mostly when he was in junior college at Cedar City, Utah, and while he was attending Utah State. He was also a judge for the Nevada commission.
