Hawaii Administrative Rules › Title 16 - DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS › Chapter 74 - BOXING › Subchapter 4 - MANAGERS › Section 16-74-64 - Boxer-manager agreements

Current through June, 2024
(a) Written.
				Managers shall file with the commission all boxer-manager contracts executed in
				Hawaii within ten days of the execution of the contract, unless permission from
				the commission is obtained for a longer period of time.
(b) Others. Verbal agreements or private
				civil agreements not filed and approved by the commission shall not be valid
				and will not be recognized by the commission.
(c) Form. Contracts executed in Hawaii
				between boxer and manager must be on a contract form approved and furnished by
				the commission, except in such cases in which the commission specifically
				waives this requirement in writing. The commission may require that a
				boxer-manager contract, legally drawn under the jurisdiction of other competent
				courts, jurisdictions, or commissions, be filed with the commission, if a
				dispute arises.
(d) Validity. A
				contract executed in Hawaii between manager and boxer on file with and approved
				by the commission will be recognized until such contract is set aside either by
				the commission, or by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(e) Transfer. Contracts between a manager and
				boxer are not transferable. Any boxer for whose services there is a contract
				filed with the commission shall be automatically suspended by the commission
				upon receipt of a second contract signed by the boxer with another manager,
				unless the first contract is mutually terminated or otherwise legally declared
				of no further effect. The suspension will remain effective until the validity
				of the contracts is established by proper court action. Burden of proof in
				determining the proper manager shall rest with the boxer.
(f) Power-of-attorney. If a licensed manager
				desires to represent another licensed manager in securing contests for a boxer,
				such manager must have in his possession a written power-of-attorney or written
				agreement from both the manager and the boxer whom he represents. This
				power-of-attorney or agreement must be shown to the club, promoter or
				matchmaker from whom he is attempting to secure a match. Power-of-attorney or
				any written agreement must be filed with, and approved by the commission before
				it has any effect. A power-of-attorney can be revoked only in writing, which
				written revocation must be filed with the commission. All parties to a
				power-of-attorney must be licensees of the commission.
(g) Earnings. All contracts executed in
				Hawaii between managers and boxer must be in writing, signed in triplicate and
				the original filed with the commission for approval. Contracts must state the
				division of the boxer's earnings, which in no case shall allow the manager more
				than 33-1/3 per cent of the boxer's purses.
(h) Limit. No manager shall be allowed to
				contract for the services of boxer under his management for a match to take
				place on a date after the expiration of the contract between the boxer and
				manager.
(i) Purse. In cases where
				boxers execute contracts in Hawaii with a manager, the boxer's share of any
				purse which he may earn shall not be less than 66-2/3 per cent.
(j) Void. If a manager shall fail to make
				application for a license within forty-five days after the expiration of his
				license, he shall forfeit all rights to boxers on whom he has filed contracts
				in the State, and the boxer shall be free to sign contracts with other licensed
				managers.
(k) Noncontract. If a
				manager is doing business for a boxer not signed to a contract, such boxer must
				personally sign all contracts for appearances at licensed clubs and his
				signature must be properly witnessed.
(l) Signatures. Contracts for the services of
				a boxer who has a registered manager can only be signed by said manager. In the
				absence or unavailability of a boxer's manager, the commission may accept a
				contract signed by the boxer only.
