Contracts and financial arrangements

1. A promoter may not have a direct or indirect financial relationship with a contestant. A match may not be held in premises owned or leased by the promoter or premises in which the promoter has a direct or indirect financial relationship unless approved by the commissioner. 2. Before weigh-in, the promoter shall provide the commissioner with copies of the contract between the promoter and each contestant. 3. The promoter shall deposit with the commissioner prior to the match the funds to be paid by contract to the contestant after the match. If it is determined by the commissioner that a contestant made a dishonest effort not matching the contestant's skill level, the payment to the contestant may be withheld and returned to the promoter.
