The Commission will not honor a contract between a manager and an unarmed combatant if the term of the contract is for a period of more than three years.(2) A manager may not contract to receive the services of an unarmed combatant under their management for a contest or exhibition which is scheduled to take place after the expiration of the contract.(3) The Commission may honor a contract that is not executed and notarized on a form provided by the Commission if the terms of the contract comply with the requirements of 523 CMR 9.01. If the terms of the contract exceed the limitations contained in 523 CMR 9.01, the Commission may honor the contract to the extent of those limitations.(4) A manager may not negotiate or sign for contests or exhibitions for an unarmed combatant who is not under contract to him or her.
