Holyfield Slams Ali Act Rewrite: ‘Business First, Fighters Last’ When boxing legend Evander Holyfield speaks on fighter welfare, the sport should listen. Now, the former undisputed heavyweight and cruiserweight champion has weighed in on the growing controversy over plans to rewrite the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act — and he’s not pulling punches. Speaking in a Wall Street Journal opinion feature on the proposed legislation, Holyfield said those pushing for the change are the same people who built “business first, fighters last” into a global mega-sport. Holyfield’s Warning on the ‘New Model’ Holyfield cautioned that the loudest voices behind the movement to overhaul the Ali Act are not fighters, but promoters tied to mixed martial arts, particularly those affiliated with TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of UFC and WWE. “The loudest voices pushing for this rewrite aren’t boxers but the promoters of mixed martial arts, the people who made ‘business first, fighters last’ a mega-sport,” Holyfield said. He argued that the very industry model being held up as the future of boxing — a UFC-style league — has a troubling track record when it comes to fighter rights. The MMA Model: Promoters Win, Fighters Lose Holyfield pointed to the long history of legal battles within MMA, where fighters have spent years suing for fair pay and alleging monopolistic control by major promotions. The Ultimate Fighting Championship recently agreed to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to settle antitrust claims that accused the organization of using monopoly power to suppress fighter compensation. The numbers tell the story: MMA athletes take home around 20% of the sport’s total revenue, while boxers, under the current Ali Act framework, earn closer to 80%. “Flip that math, and you see the play,” Holyfield explained. “Fighters lose, promoters win.” Boxing’s Independence at Stake At the heart of the debate is Dana White’s ambition to establish a new boxing brand with its own belts and internal ranking system, operating outside the jurisdiction of traditional sanctioning bodies. That effort, backed by TKO and the Saudi entertainment company Sela, depends on amending the Ali Act to loosen long-standing rules that separate promoters, sanctioning organizations, and fighters. Critics, including Holyfield, fear the result would be a closed system where the promoter controls the rankings, the belts, and the fighters — the very scenario the Ali Act was designed to prevent. “Not a Good Advert for Looking After Fighters” Holyfield questioned how the same promoters who’ve spent years in court defending their business practices could now claim to have fighters’ best interests at heart. “They are constantly getting sued — that’s not a good advert for ‘looking after the fighters,’” he said. While backers of the bill say it will introduce minimum pay standards and insurance protections, Holyfield and others see through what they call a false promise. A proposed $150-per-round minimum might sound fair. However, as Holyfield highlighted, it’s actually below what some state commissions already mandate — and far less than what most fighters spend on travel, training, and medicals. “It gives promoters a ceiling to hide behind, not a floor to stand on,” Holyfield warned. A Battle for the Soul of the Sport The new bill could erode transparency, blur the lines between promoters and sanctioning bodies, and eliminate independent rankings, making boxing resemble the same corporate-controlled structure that Holyfield says has damaged MMA. As one of the sport’s most respected voices — a man who fought for every dollar, title, and ounce of recognition — Holyfield’s remarks strike at the core of what’s at stake: boxing’s independence and its fighters’ right to fair treatment. “The Ali Act was created to protect fighters from being exploited,” Holyfield emphasized. “If they change it now, we risk going back to the same problems we thought we’d solved.” About the Author Phil Jay is a veteran boxing journalist with over 15 years of experience covering the global fight scene.

Holyfield Warns Corporate Bosses Will Take Boxing’s Soul The fight for boxing’s future is heating up in Congress, and the sport’s biggest names are speaking out. Boxing legend Evander Holyfield is publicly warning that proposed changes to the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act could hand control of the sport to corporate interests, creating a UFC-style closed league. “When I fought, I did my talking in the ring. Once the bell rang, it was all on me—my training, my choices, my courage. That’s the way of boxing. You control your destiny,” Holyfield said in a Wall Street Journal editorial. “Now I’m speaking out because lawmakers are trying to take that control away. A new bill called the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act would give boxing over to corporate bosses, burying fighters with lower standards and less pay,” he added, issuing a warning to fighters thinking of joining these leagues. Holyfield slammed the notion that the bill expands the original Ali Act, passed in 2000. “This new law is exactly what the original Ali Act was written to stop. When Ali’s name went on the law back then, it meant something. It protected fighters from being owned by promoters. It gave fighters the right to see what bosses earned from their work. It required improved health and safety standards: medical exams, drug testing, ringside doctors, and insurance. It gave boxing structure without taking away freedom.” Unified Boxing Organizations: A Threat to Fighters? Introduced by Reps. Brian Jack (R., Ga.) and Sharice Davids (D., Kan.), the legislation would create “Unified Boxing Organizations”—private leagues controlling champions, rankings, and fights. Holyfield warned these leagues could strip fighters of control: “In other words, a company could control every part of the league.” Boxing’s Decentralized Strength WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán backs Holyfield’s concerns. In his Round 12 column on the subject, Sulaimán stressed boxing’s decentralized structure as a key safeguard. “In boxing, the sanctioning bodies are only in charge of regulatory, medical, and boxing-related matters, while promotional companies like Don King, Bob Arum, PBC, Matchroom, Queensberry, and Oscar de la Hoya control all aspects of the business. All WBC decisions are based on rules and justice without any financial benefit,” he said. “This is a business structure that gives those leagues all the power to do anything they wish. In boxing, we preserve the athlete’s voice and freedom.” The proposed changes, pushed by TKO Group under Saudi-backed initiatives, would centralize power over promotions, rankings, and championship belts—creating a UFC-style league, Sulaimán warned. He also highlighted boxing’s global ecosystem: “It’s an industry of open competition where the promoters, with their skills, create stars, and the boxers, with their performance, earn the public’s affection, admiration, and adoration.” Legends such as Manny Pacquiao, Mike Tyson, and Canelo Álvarez prove the system works. Sulaimán cautioned that a corporate model could threaten safety: “While the safety of the boxer is being looked after, pseudo-sports continue to emerge that are brutal and inhumane, making the Roman circus seem like a child’s game.” Regulators Push Back The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) has also raised concerns. Commissioner AnnMaria DeMars said, “I’m very concerned that all the public comments went in one direction. There’s no point in having public comment if we don’t pay attention to it. These are the people who stand in that ring and show what they’re made of, and they are very much concerned about this.” Manager Rachel Donaire, wife and adviser to future Hall of Famer Nonito Donaire, warned that the proposed United Boxing Organization (UBO) framework would cap fighter purses and gut their negotiation power. “They strip fighters of negotiation power before they even sit down. They say they don’t take sanctioning fees, but why would they need to if they’re cutting off our paydays at the knees? What good is a belt if it leaves you broke?” Holyfield drove home the point: “This isn’t just about fights or belts. It’s about the fighters. Their careers, their safety, their rights. And we can’t let that be taken away.” The Fight for Boxing’s Soul As discussions continue in Congress and across the sport, Holyfield, Sulaimán, and the CSAC represent a rare, unified voice defending the traditions, safety, and freedom that have defined boxing for decades. For boxing, the next round may not be fought with gloves, but the stakes are just as high—and those inside the ring and outside it are ready to fight back.
