Dan , I agree with alot of what you say. I do think it will be harder for promoters to do events due to the bonds and other issues but I am willing to play by the rules as long as they are fair to all that want to promote events.

I am very concerned with the issues concerning amateurs as they do not regulate amateur boxing at all .

As far as amateurs wearing equipment this is something that I think is A concern to many in the sport or observers of the sport. I think that this will be A big issue in the future of kickboxing in NY and in America.

As far as the organization that I asked for permission to sanction my events they will not have A bias towards any one style or another as our events as most in NYS have always had all styles represented on there events.I put exciting bouts that people want to see on my events in different rules and it really is never an isssue for our audience or the fighters.

I also never agreed with a list for the very resons that you mention that it gives power to them alone to decide the fate of the sport in NYS.
This is just A step to allow events to happen in NYS until they make the new law that will make it so all promoters will have to be licensed and there will be no more list or mandatory santioning bodies.
