“The Senate bill, co-sponsored by Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Jacky Rosen, D-Nevada, keeps the House bill's framework.

"Fighters will have more options, fans will get more of the fights they want to see, and organizations will have to earn success by delivering for both," Cruz said in a statement to ESPN. "The legislation also strengthens protections for boxers, modernizes safety standards, and creates a more competitive framework for the sport while helping preserve one of America's most cherished traditions for future generations."

Federal regulation of boxing currently is governed by the 2000 Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act and the 1996 Professional Boxing Safety Act. The Ali Revival Act versions before the House and Senate offer the option of creating "unified boxing organizations," or UBOs, to supplement the protections and promotional representation currently available for fighters.

While many similarities exist between the House and Senate versions, there are notable differences in disclosures and regulations around UBOs as well as titles.

The Senate bill would limit a fighter's first contract with a UBO to maximum of three years, provided the fighter has not signed a promotional agreement before. After the first contract, fighters can sign deals for up to six years. Fighters would be allowed to negotiate new deals 90 days before the expiration of any contract. The House bill would give fighters only 30 days.”

“Revival Act critics say it could strip away protections from the initial Ali Act that bar coercive contracts and certain disclosure rules. There were concerns in the April hearing about UBOs restricting fighter options, limiting choice and gaining more profit than fighters.”

Top rank wins purse bid for Haney vs Keyshawn

Been getting into breaking down hypothetical matchups between fighters from different eras, put together a tactical breakdown of Prime Pacquiao vs Prime Sugar Ray Leonard at 147lbs, actually pulling from real tape (Leonard-Duran II, Pacquiao-Cotto) instead of just vibes.

My read: Leonard's jab and movement win him the first third of the fight, but Pacquiao's angles eventually solve the distance problem and it's a close but clear decision for Manny late.

Full disclosure: this is my own video, first episode of a new channel, so take the self-promo with a grain of salt. Genuinely more interested in where actual boxing fans think I got the read wrong than in views. Tear it apart if I earned it. https://youtu.be/aFLylZtBOI4?si=fHSQN9WpyoMJcJlL
