prize fighting

prize fighting. Fighting for a reward or prize; esp., professional boxing. [Cases: Theaters and Shows 3.60. C.J.S. Entertainment and Amusement; Sports §§ 24, 48.]

“Prize fighting … was not looked upon with favor by the common law as was a friendly boxing match or wrestling match. On the other hand it was not punishable by the common law unless it was fought in a public place, or for some other reason constituted a breach of the peace.” Rollin M. Perkins & Ronald N. Boyce, Criminal Law 480 (3d ed. 1982).
