4月22日(路透社)——前拳击冠军奥斯卡·德·拉·霍亚周三出席美国参议院听证会,反对对现行由《穆罕默德·阿里拳击改革法案》监管的体系进行全面改革。该法案自2000年起旨在保护拳手免受剥削性操作。
这场听证会主题为“回到你的角落:联邦拳击法律是已经发挥作用还是错失良机?”,于美国众议院通过《穆罕默德·阿里美国拳击振兴法案》一个月后举行。该法案如果生效,将允许成立一个单一实体,将推广、排名、头衔授予和赛事认证整合在一起。

“这是权力的根本性转变,如果获得通过,将把企业利润置于首位,拳手利益置于次位,”德·拉·霍亚在参议院商务、科学与运输委员会听证会上表示。“我们应当明确谁将从这项法案中获益。”
30年前,美国国会通过《职业拳击安全法案》,确立了联邦拳击标准。四年后,国会通过《穆罕默德·阿里拳击改革法案》,收紧了相关标准。这两部法案合称为《阿里法案》,这套职业拳击联邦框架旨在解决拳击市场的利益冲突问题,并增强拳手的议价能力。

上月,众议院通过了《振兴法案》,旨在让拳击赛事的组织方式更贴近其他职业体育联盟。
「拳手将失去更多选择」
德·拉·霍亚在听证会上表示,和他一样,许多拳手年轻时就投身这项运动,他们心怀信任却缺乏资源,一旦陷入不当合约,几乎很难脱身。他指出,这正是《改革法案》设立的初衷。
“拳手理应获得真正的保护和真正的机会——而不是还要同时与体制抗争,”德·拉·霍亚说。“如果这项法案获得通过,拳手的选择将更少,议价权更弱,对自身职业生涯的掌控也会更少。到那时,辜负他们的不是这项运动本身,而是我们这些决策者。”
职业拳手尼科·阿里·沃尔什——前世界重量级冠军穆罕默德·阿里的外孙,也在听证会上呼吁保留现行的《改革法案》。
沃尔什在听证会上表示,《改革法案》基于一个简单的原则:控制拳手的人,不应同时掌控拳手赖以生存的整个市场。
“这种分离机制旨在防止利益冲突和剥削行为,”沃尔什说。“新出台的《穆罕默德·阿里美国拳击振兴法案》将破坏这一原则。
“如果这项法案以当前形式获得通过,它不应该冠以我外祖父的名字,因为这将背弃他创立这项法案时所捍卫的原则。”
世界摔角娱乐(WWE)总裁、TKO集团董事会成员尼克·汗在听证会上支持《振兴法案》,该法案将允许成立一个全新的、集中化的职业拳击替代体系,名为“统一拳击组织(UBO)”。
“现行法案将保持原样,”汗说。“这只是一项额外选项。它为统一拳击组织(简称UBO)搭建了框架,该组织可以像其他主流体育项目一样——整合推广赛事、培养人才,并在单一体系下执行统一标准。”

April 22 (Reuters) – Former boxing champion Oscar De La Hoya appeared before the U.S. Senate on Wednesday and argued against a potential transformation of the current system governed by the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act that, since 2000, has aimed to protect fighters from exploitative practices.
The hearing — titled “Return to Your Corners: Have Federal Boxing Laws Gone the Distance or Slipped the Jab?” — was held a month after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act which, if it becomes law, would allow for the creation of a single entity to combine promotion, rankings, titles and sanctioning under one roof.

“This is a fundamental shift in power that, if enacted, would put corporate profits first and fighters second,” De La Hoya told the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. “We should be clear about who benefits from this.”
Thirty years ago, Congress set federal boxing standards by passing the Professional Boxing Safety Act. Four years later, Congress tightened those standards by enacting the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act. Together known as the Ali Act, the federal framework for professional boxing was designed to address conflicts of interest in the boxing market and strengthen boxers’ bargaining power.

Last month the House passed the Revival Act to make it easier for boxing to be organized in the same manner as other professional sports leagues.
‘FIGHTERS WILL HAVE FEWER CHOICES’
De La Hoya told the hearing that, like him, many fighters enter the sport young, trusting and without resources, and that once they are locked into the wrong deal, it is very difficult to get out. That is, he argued, exactly why the Reform Act exists.
“Fighters deserve real protection and real opportunity — not to have to fight the system as well,” said De La Hoya. “If this bill passes, fighters will have fewer choices, less leverage, and less control over their careers. And when that happens, it will not be the sport that failed them. It will be us.”
Nico Ali Walsh, a professional boxer and grandson of former world heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, also argued to preserve the current Reform Act.
Walsh told the hearing the Reform Act was built on a simple principle: the people controlling fighters should not also control the entire marketplace those fighters depend on.
“That separation exists to prevent conflicts of interest and exploitation,” said Walsh. “The new Muhammad Ali Boxing Revival Act would undermine that principle.
“If this bill is passed in its current form, it should not have my grandfather’s name on it, as it would betray the principles his Act was created to protect.”
WWE President and TKO Group board member Nick Khan spoke in support of the Revival Act, which would allow for the creation of a new, centralized, alternative professional boxing system called Unified Boxing Organizations.
“The existing Act, as it currently stands, would remain in place,” said Khan. “This is an added option. It creates the framework for Unified Boxing Organizations, otherwise known as UBOs, that can do what major sports do — promote competition, develop talent, and enforce consistent standards under one roof.”
