N.Y. General Business Law § 1002: Combative sports prohibited

§ 1002. Combative sports prohibited. 1. The conduct of combative

sports outside the supervision of the commission or an authorized

sanctioning entity is prohibited.

2. A person advances a prohibited combative sport when, acting other

than as a spectator, he or she engages in conduct which materially aids

any unauthorized combative sport. Such conduct includes but is not

limited to conduct directed toward the creation, establishment or

performance of a prohibited combative sport, toward the acquisition or

maintenance of premises, paraphernalia, equipment or apparatus therefor,

toward the solicitation or inducement of persons to attend or

participate therein, toward the actual conduct of the performance

thereof, toward the arrangement of any of its financial or promotional

phases, or toward any other phase of a prohibited combative sport. One

advances a prohibited combative sport when, having substantial

proprietary or other authoritative control over premises being used with

his or her knowledge for purposes of a prohibited combative sport, he or

she permits such to occur or continue or makes no effort to prevent its

occurrence or continuation.

3. A person profits from a prohibited combative sport when he or she

accepts or receives money or other property with intent to participate

in the proceeds of a prohibited combative sport, or pursuant to an

agreement or understanding with any person whereby he or she

participates or is to participate in the proceeds of a prohibited

combative sport.
