58 Pa. Code § 21.14 - Insurance
(a) Boxers engaged
in professional contests and exhibitions under the jurisdiction of the
Commission shall for their financial protection be covered by the most
advantageous life and accident insurance contract available through negotiation
and agreement by the Commission with a private insurance company approved by
the Insurance Department to do business within this Commonwealth.
(b) The promoter of each professional event
under the jurisdiction of the Commission shall deduct from the purse paid to
the manager of the boxer the cost of the insurance for the boxer and shall pay
to the Commission the full amount due in accordance with the current premium
schedule. Failure to make immediate payment of insurance premiums as provided
shall render the defaulting promoter eligible for suspension and license
revocation.
(c) It shall be the
responsibility of a boxer who suffers injury covered by insurance to report the
injury promptly to the examining physician assigned to the event. The
responsibility shall extend to the chief second of the injured boxer, as well
as to other persons officially attached to the boxer. Failure to report to the
examining physician or, if for any reason he is not readily available, to the
Commission shall constitute grounds for suspension and license
revocation.
(d) Upon receipt of
notice of injury to a boxer, the examining physician shall make examination and
investigation and shall promptly report pertinent findings to the Commission
upon the official form provided for that purpose in the Medical/Safety
Manual.
