The Ali Act Under Fire: What Fighters Need to Know

Boxing, Power & Protection: Is the Ali Act Being Rewritten?

The Future of Boxing: League Model or Fighter Protection?

Today we are talking about one of the biggest legal and business issues facing professional boxing: the future of the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act, better known as the Ali Act.

We sit down with New Jersey boxing attorney Paul Haberman and Pennsylvania boxing promoter Manny Rivera of Hard Hitting Promotions to break down the future of the Ali Act, the proposed Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act, UFC/TKO/Saudi influence, fighter protections, promoter power, rankings, belts, contracts, and what every boxer needs to know before signing.

Paul Haberman, a New Jersey-based attorney and partner with the Mueller Haberman Law Group. Paul brings a unique perspective to combat sports law. He is an experienced litigator, legal writer, and lecturer, and he has represented individuals and entities involved in sports, including current and former world champion boxers and mixed martial artists. He also has firsthand boxing industry experience as a former New York State-licensed boxing manager and has written extensively on legal and regulatory issues in combat sports.

For fans, this may sound like legal talk. But for fighters, managers, promoters, matchmakers, trainers, and commissions, this affects real money, real contracts, rankings, titles, opportunities, and who controls the sport.

With the rise of TKO, UFC-style league concepts, Saudi-backed boxing investment, and new proposed federal legislation, boxing may be standing at a major crossroads. The question is simple: does this new model help clean up boxing, or does it create a system where too much power sits in too few hands?

Manny Rivera, a Philadelphia-based boxing promoter with Hard Hitting Promotions. Manny has been active as a promoter and matchmaker, and Hard Hitting Promotions has been part of the Philadelphia boxing scene, including major local events and efforts to bring boxing back to historic venues such as The Met Philadelphia.

Manny brings the promoter’s perspective: what it takes to build shows, develop fighters, sell tickets, manage risk, work with commissions, and survive in a changing boxing economy.
