Do you want Nancy Palossi having a say on our sport?
Beats the hell out of what we have now,cause right now,I could go to the graveyard and dig someone up and get them sanctioned in some states.
Its dangerous,and its unfair to the fighters who really take this sport seriously.It allows for graft and corruption 7 ways from sunday,it rips offs the fans.
The states have had years to clean up their own houses,and alot of them havent bothered to do buh.
Required state contracts between fighter,and manager in alot of states read like indentured servitude as well.
I wont let my fighters fight in some states,because the state required manager contract reads like,I just bought the kid to work in a plantation in 1800. I dont matchmake in a couple of others because the promoters fee is just ridiculous high.
Make it a unified set of rules
