Haw. Code R. § 16-74-64 - Boxer-manager agreements
(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.
