Cases

Watson v Prager and Another

Comment

The BBBC's standard form management contract compelled a boxer to fight on any terms 'negotiated' on his behalf by his manager. The court made clear that this was not necessarily unlawful in itself. But the key deals which a boxing manager has to make are with promoters. If the manager is effectively the promoter too, the notion of a 'negotiated' bargain becomes unreal and it seems unsurprising that this contract was held unenforceable.
