Samantha Orduno, City Adlainitrator, reviewed Staff Report No. <br /> 91-99A regarding Barstool Promotions holding a "Barstool Bullies" <br /> competition at the Bel-Rae Ballroom on December 3 and 4, 1991. <br /> Orduno reported that Minnesota Statutes require consent of <br /> a municipality for any proposed boxing or sparring exhibitions <br /> held with the city limits. Orduno further stated that the consent <br /> for the event must be given by formal resolution of the City <br /> Council. In the past, the City has given its permission, with <br /> strict stipulations, for such events as amateur Golden Gloves <br /> Boxing and Womens Pro Wrestling events . Orduno reported that <br /> previous boxing events held at the Bel-Rae Ballroom were <br /> sanctioned by the Amateur Boxing Federation and met the current <br /> • State Boxing Board rules and regulations . <br /> Orduno spoke with Jim O'Hara, Chairman of the State Boxing Board, who <br /> commented that this type of competition is very dangerous and is <br /> not consistent with the rules and regulations which govern other <br /> sanctioned boxing events . Orduno listed some of the examples of <br /> why this competition is not consistent with the rules and <br /> regulations which cover other sanctioned boxing events . They <br /> were: <br /> 1. The competition stipulates that contestants must not <br /> be professional boxers . If the competition is geared <br /> toward amateur boxers, the State does not allow-far—prime <br /> money to be awarded. Barstool Promotions provides for <br /> 2 . Barstool Promotions lists only three weight divisions <br /> and makes no allowances for age within the divisions. <br /> Sanctioned boxing has 8-10 weight classes and is based <br /> on age as well as weight. <br /> 3 . The Barstool Bullies competition requires only a signed <br /> affidavit by the contest that they are physically fit <br /> and have no known physical condition which could be potentially <br /> dangerous . Although each contestant is given a physical exam <br /> prior to the event, it is extremely doubtful that such a physical <br /> could determine a health problem which could prove deadly during <br /> the competition. <br />
