The consent for <br /> the event must be given by formal resolution of the city council. Only <br /> after a municipality has given its consent for such an exhibition, will <br /> the State Board of Boxing issue a license to the individual or <br /> organization. <br /> Barstool Promotions has requested permission to conduct an event called a <br /> "Barstool Bullies" competition on December 3 and 4 at the Bel-Rae <br /> Ballroom. The organization's promotional material states that the <br /> competition "fills the gap between professional boxing and Bar Room <br /> brawling" . The competition is often referred to as a "Toughman" <br /> competition. <br /> In the past, the City has given its permission, with strict stipulations, <br /> for such events as amateur Golden Gloves Boxing and Womens Pro Wrestling <br /> events. Previous boxing events held at the Bel-Rae were sanctioned by the <br /> Amateur Boxing Federation and met the current State Boxing Board rules and <br /> regulations . <br /> The "Barstool Bullies" competition is not sanctioned by the ABF and does <br /> not meet several of the State regulations: <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 for <br /> prize money to be awarded. Barstool Promotions provides <br /> for prize money. <br /> )46-71) 46-1:4-1-6/-74,& <br /> Samantha aduno <br /> City Administrator <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br /> Motion to deny application of Barstool Promotions for a Barstool Bullies <br /> competition in the City of Mounds View. <br />
