[> Subject: Re: Boxing Authority/Commission Gripe Author: Neal Weaver [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:33:31 11/19/08 Wed The EVENT is insured, but the event/promoter has no med coverage for the actual fighters, sort of a liability thing that wont cover med cost, but WILL cover someone suing the promoter. At least that's what I gathered. Basically they pay the same insurance a concert promoter would, ie covers weird accidents but no covering the actual fighters for cuts and such they get from the fight. I know this, the waiver ammy's sign say very clearly the promoter is in no way liable for any medical charges. I had to take a kid to the hospital after a fight recently ( a fight he won, the heart this guy has is rediculous) and the promoter made NO hint or offer regarding some sort of coverage, neither did the boxing guys. They ALL knew I was taking him too. So I am pretty sure medicals for fighters fighting are not covered (but they would be covered if they slipped on a banana peel and cut their head on the floor I think. Silly IMO.
