Once Sancha and Marco arrived at the TV station they were
taken to the dressing rooms, where the producer and his legal assistant
made sure that Sancha understood the rules of the fight: - The fight was to last one hour unless stopped due to a disabling injury or retirement. - The fee for the fight was set at $100,000 for one hour of actual fighting (not including breaks, etc) - If a fighter stopped the fight early then she would only be paid a proportion of the fee (e.g. 1/2 the fight = 1/2 fee) - Points would be awarded for a pin to a count of 3 (1 pt), a submission (1 pt) and a KO to a count of 10 (2 pts). - Each fighter's prize money would be determined by the points they had been awarded ($10,000 per point) - There would be a 3 minute break after each pin or submission. - There would be a 5 minute break after a KO at that point the fighter could decide whether to continue. - The fighters would be naked. - Fighters could use any hold or blow - anything was legal in this fight. Once all these points had been covered, Sancha signed the legal document agreeing to the fight and its conditions. The producer and his assistant then withdrew and Sancha stripped off her clothes and put on a robe. A few minutes later she and Marco were led to the studio where the fight was to be recorded. They entered via a gallery and were able to look down on the studio floor. It had been set as a futuristic arena equipped with an unusual 6 sided ring. There was a studio audience, but they were seated in the deep in the shadow, so could not be seen on TV or from the brightly lit ring. |
