Mark, no one is asking anyone to sign anything "blindly" and you know that. The current law is posted three timesw in this thread. and the petition asking for an exemption clause to be added to the current law isd linked here.

so waht MORE could you possibly want. (in good faith)

For those who have *sincere* doubts, once again I am posting the current law, (sec 83) and then below THAT I am posting the current law WITH the "exception" language which the petion asks for,

First, heres the current law.


Prize Fights
Engaging in prize fight 83. (1) Every one who
(a) engages as a principal in a prize fight,
(b) advises, encourages or promotes a prize fight, or
(c) is present at a prize fight as an aid, second, surgeon, umpire, backer or reporter, is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.

Definition of "prize fight"
(2) In this section, "prize fight" means an encounter or fight with fists or hands between two persons who have met for that purpose by previous arrangement made by or for them, but a boxing contest between amateur sportsmen, where the contestants wear boxing gloves of not less than one hundred and forty grams each in mass, or any boxing contest held with the permission or under the authority of an athletic board or commission or similar body established by or under the authority of the legislature of a province for the control of sport within the province, shall be deemed not to be a prize fight.

R.S., 1985, c. C-46, s. 83; R.S., 1985, c. 27 (1st Supp.), s. 186

HERE IS THE SAME LAW REWRITTEN BELOW:


Definition of "prize fight"
(2) In this section, "prize fight" means an encounter or fight with fists or hands between two persons who have met for that purpose by previous arrangement made by or for them, but a boxing contest between amateur sportsmen, where the contestants wear boxing gloves of not less than one hundred and forty grams each in mass, OR ANY MUAY THAI, KICKBOXING, MMA or boxing contest held with the permission or under the authority of an athletic board or commission or similar body established by or under the authority of the legislature of a province for the control of sport within the province, shall be deemed not to be a prize fight.

R.S., 1985, c. C-46, s. 83; R.S., 1985, c. 27 (1st Supp.), s. 186


NOTE: This shows the current law WITH the added exception typed in capital letters so you can easily spot the slight difference in language that our exception petition calls for in sec 83.

It simply included Muay Thai MMA and kickboxing in the exception to the prize fighting definition.

Anybody who can read and is sincere will recognize they are not being asked to sign anything blindly
