All such contracts must be filed with and approved by the Commission to be valid. Such contracts will not be approved by the Commission unless both boxers or both mixed martial artists, as applicable, have signed contracts for the contest or exhibition with the same promoter. All such bout contracts must include, but shall not be limited to, the following information: the date, time and location of the event; the date of the weigh-in; the combatant's contracted weight; the amount of purse; any/all fees that will be deducted; and the number of rounds in the bout.
