Boxer broker royalties.
$1,200 plus 40% bonus.
These days traces of some middlemen can be seen in the illegal sending of boxers to foreign competitions in AIBA's Chargiv competitions. These profiteers, or rather traders, in their efforts to attract Iranian boxers and send them to competitions abroad, once again created profits in the boxing community; the story this time is related to receiving foreign currency amounts from athletes to participate in a competition in Turkey.
According to the information received by the Fars reporter, a person who has a history of living in Russia for several years and works in the field of coordinating martial arts competitions in countries bordering the Caspian Sea, with the cooperation of several intermediaries, wishes to send a number of Iranian adult and youth boxers to these competitions.
According to the information received, each boxer should pay about $1,200 to participate in this tournament. A noteworthy point is that based on the claims made, in the case of winning a medal and receiving a bonus, 40% of the athlete's bonus amount must also be paid to the launch coordinator; An issue that created serious doubts about contracts and how these amounts were received.
Boxing does not have an official plan to send the team to these competitions and the arrangements that have been made are made outside the official sending framework of the federation. Based on this, it is not clear with which authorization this launch will be carried out and which authority is responsible for its legal and executive responsibility.
Considering the restrictions and regulations of the Ministry of Sports and Youth and the National Olympic Committee of our country regarding participation in events covered by the International Boxing Association (IBA), receiving foreign currency amounts from athletes for such a trip, without transparency regarding the relevant licenses and contracts, requires serious consideration.
