The Commission shall have, and hereby is vested with, the
direction, management, control of and jurisdiction over all
boxing and sparring and wrestling matches and exhibitions to be
conducted, held or given within the State, by any person, club,
corporation or association; and no boxing or sparring or
wrestling match or exhibition shall be conducted, held or given
within the State except pursuant to its authority and in
accordance with the provisions of this subtitle. The Commission
may, in its discretion, issue, and at its pleasure revoke, a
license to conduct, hold or give boxing and sparring or wrestling
matches and exhibitions to any person, club, corporation or
association to act as a promoter, upon payment of an annual
license fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or for an individual
show upon payment of a license fee of twenty-five dollars
($25.00); and may, in its discretion, issue, and for such cause
as said Commission shall deem sufficient revoke, an annual
license to act as referee of such matches upon payment of the
annual license fee of ten [($10.00)] dollars ($10.00); an annual
license to participate, as contestant, in such matches upon the
payment of an annual license fee of ten dollars ($10.00); an
annual license to act as second in such matches upon payment of
an annual license fee of ten dollars ($10.00); an annual license
to act as manager of such matches upon payment of an annual
license fee of fifteen dollars ($15.00); and an annual license to
act as a matchmaker upon payment of an annual license fee of
twenty-five dollars ($25.00); and no unlicensed person shall act
as referee, promoter, matchmaker, manager or second of any of
such matches or participate therein as contestant, nor shall any
person, club, corporation or association permit any unlicensed
person so to act or participate. Every license shall be subject
to such rules and regulations and amendments thereof as the
Commission may prescribe. Every application for a license as
herein provided for shall be in writing and shall be addressed to
the Commission, and shall be under oath. It shall contain a
recital of such facts, as, under the provisions hereof will show
the applicant entitled to receive a license, and in addition
thereto such other facts and recitals as the Commission may by
rule require to be shown; provided, however, that before said
Commission shall issue a license for a boxing, sparring or
wrestling match in Montgomery or Prince George's County, it must
first secure the permission of the County Executive of Montgomery
County for a match to be held in that county or the County
Commissioners of Prince George's County for a match to be held in
that county.
