Boxing Guild and would have "provided the happiest day in boxing history." One resolution recommended the NBA states require a pro moter matchmaker, manager, boxer trainer or second to be li censed in his home state before obtaining a license in another. The second called on "every state in the country" to uphold any suspension, . revocation or denial of a license in any other state.
