§ 18849 Promoter Fighter Interest Prohibition

• •If you organize fights (like boxing or martial arts), you can't own or have a stake in the fighters.
• •This rule is to keep things fair—no cheating by favoring your own fighters.
• •You need special written permission from the commission if you want to break this rule.

A promoter owns a boxing gym and also owns a share of one of the fighters in a big match.

This is not allowed because the promoter could make unfair decisions to help their own fighter win. They need permission first.
