A celebrity boxing promoter has been charged in Pennsylvania with
fixing fights and not having a license when he staged a bout
between ``Partridge Family'' television star Danny Bonaduce and a
comedian from the Howard Stern show.
Philadelphia area resident Damon Feldman is accused of
rigging many bouts during the 16-month period ending in December,
and staging six events without a promoter's license.
State Attorney General Tom Corbett says one event was a 2008
match between Bonaduce and Stern show comic the Reverend Bob Levy.
The rigging charges don't necessarily involve that fight.
Feldman said Friday his bouts are purely entertainment and
shouldn't be subject to state athletic commission restrictions. He
acknowledges results of some bouts were predetermined but says
they're akin to pro wrestling, not professional boxing.
He was arraigned Wednesday and released on $50,000 bail.
