As you may be aware, the Commission recently adopted a final set of regulations. They may be accessed by logging on to the Commission’s website (www.mass.gov/dps/sac) or by clicking here. Here are but a few of the more noteworthy provisions that people tend to ask about:
-the “double weigh in” provisions were removed for MMA, but kept in place for boxing. (section 13.05(2) and (3)).
-filing dates were clarified:
-application for event license must be submitted by
the promoter at least 30 days prior to the event
(section 10.02(4))
-fight cards for approved events must be submitted by
the matchmaker at least 10 days prior to the event
(section 10.12(1))
-bout agreements between the promoter and fighter
must be filed with the Commission at least 3 days
prior to the event (section 9.04(1))
-all fighters on the fightcard must have submitted a
completed application for a fighter’s license at least 7
days prior to the event (section 10.12(1))
**These are the deadlines, but applicants are encouraged to submit applications as far in advance as possible.
