Bare Knuckle Boxing

Kingdoms and Empires around the world can boast about their fancy jousting tournaments, or their boar hunts, or whatever other bullshit bourgeoise sport they think is the best in the land. The fact is the most popular sport there is, doesn't happen in a kings court, it's not fancy and it's not nice. It happens in bars, in secret clubs, and in backdoor alleyways. It's people punching each other in the face while others bet on who they think is going to win. It's violent, barbaric, and one of the most entertaining things you can witness. Bare Knuckle Boxing.

History

Bare Knuckle Brawling is one of the oldest "sports" in the world, with fights being held in bars and other seedy locales for hundreds of years. Even though its gruesome drunken attendants love it, and it shows no signs of going away anytime soon.

Execution

The execution of this sport is simple, two or more people come together in a bar, alleyway, or wherever is agreed upon. And they punch each other until one falls unconscious. Usually, while others watch and bet on who they think will win. Simple!

Components and tools

The obvious joke is that all you need to participate is your fists and guts of steely determination. But, if you are looking to really get into the game of making some money you'll need to have lots of people come to your fights and do some gambling. And if your hard fought night goes well you'll be leaving with a pocket full of gold and hopefully only a couple of chipped teeth and a bruise or two. Not too bad.

Participants

Other than the participants and the crowd watching there is usually an officiant of some sort, taking bets, decided winners and dolling out winnings to those lucky enough to bet on the winning man.
