Memphis promoter Mike Lynn III says a state attorney general ruling is expected on whether the Tennessee Athletic Commission can levy four percent gate fees on a Joe Frazier George Foreman closed circuit championship. The TAC previously asserted licensing and tax powers, a position an AG opinion reversed last year.
