Subject: Re: Boxing Authority/Commission Gripe Author: Neal Weaver [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:33:31 11/19/08 Wed In reply to: Neal Weaver 's message, "Boxing Authority/Commission Gripe" on 00:33:59 11/13/08 Thu 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.

The Promoters are required to cover up to $2500 of medical on each fighter. if you call her she will give you the information on the insurance company of that event your fighter faught in. you have to seek medical attention with in 24 hours of the fight, (that you did, you said you took him to the hospital that night) you should be able to file for the reinburstment of your fighters medical bills. also think you have to start you claim with in two weeks or a month, not sure about that part.
