So check this out: Twice a year, in Toronto, Bay Street professionals get the opportunity to beat their colleague to a pulp in a legit boxing match. They get 2 months to train, no prior experience, and they fight! Why not, right?
Have a look at what blogto has to say about this:
The Brawl on Bay Street is an bi-annual boxing match featuring high-powered financial executives that's now entering its 14th year. Designed as a sort of Freudian displacement for all the testosterone and combativeness that defines life on Bay St., the concept is pretty straightforward: executives with little to no boxing experience are given a few months to train before engaging in a slugfest in front of all their colleagues at Arcadian Court. While a novel concept, unless you know one of the fighters, it's tough to get too excited about a couple of traders bashing each other's brains out.
Thoughts?
What better revenge than to whoop up on your feeble md
Boom!
I've got 7 white collar boxing matches under my belt. Fights can range from slapfests to good amateur level. Mainly the former.
Woah.. do elaborate. Office politics gone wrong? Do I sense a new reality show?
I hope they have good refs who are ready to stop fights, because 2 months is not even close to building fight readiness. guys with higher levels of aggression will beat the shit out of the less aggressive, at that level skill is a nonfactor. speaking out of 4 years kickboxing exp and 2 concussions
Working on a deal in Melbourne Australia one time. Our colleagues down there took us to the same type of arrangement one night - "Executive Fight Night". Seemed to be mostly guys from the Big 4 from what I could gather as you actually fought for your company under some type of points system. Fight opponents were purely selected on weight. Don't remember too much else apart from getting pretty sh1t faced and ending the night at Spearmint Rhino in Melbourne.
I swear to god he was about to pull out a bag of cocaine at 7:16.
Same thing in Shanghai called Brawl on the Bund; http://wcbc.info/brawl-on-the-bund-2014-june-14/
The dudes seem like absolute tools.
The last guy definitely seems like it at first but at the end he seems pretty humbled after his fight.
