Brian Jack would establish a national minimum payment-per-round for professional boxers.
Occurrences
Evidence
Sponsor: Rep. Jack, Brian [R-GA-3] (Introduced 07/23/2025). Latest Action: House - 01/21/2026 Ordered to be Reported (Amended) by the Yeas and Nays: 30 - 4. Tracker shows status Introduced, and the bill text includes a minimum payment to boxers of $150 per round.
The introduced bill provides that "a promoter or unified boxing organization shall pay a minimum of $150 to each boxer for each round in a match in which the boxer participates."
H.R. 4624 "provides new safety measures" and "ensur[es] minimum per-round pay and medical insurance coverage for all professional boxers." The release says the House passed the bill on March 24, 2026.
Brian Jack’s office stated that the House passed H.R. 4624 by voice vote and described the bill as the first boxing legislation to pass the House in 26 years; it also notes committee markup approval on January 21, 2026.
Assessments
Jack directly sponsored H.R. 4624, which explicitly would set a national minimum payment of $150 per round for professional boxers. The bill advanced through committee and then passed the House in March 2026, showing substantial and serious progress attributable to him. But the evidence does not show final enactment into federal law, so the promised outcome was not fully delivered. Because he materially advanced the exact policy during his current term, this merits partial credit with same-term timing.
