Question

i have to talk about a actual battle royale and i have no idea what it actually is aside from it being a book and being a movie...does it have to do with boxing or fighting??

Answer 1

It is something you see at a women's shoe store when they have a big sale.Lots of hair pulling and eye gouging.

Answer 2

well when i used to watch wrestling it would be two guys start then a 10 second timer would count down and another guy would come in and so on and you had to throw people out of the ring. AKAa big brawl lol oh and when you said its a movie are you thinking of casino royale?lol

Answer 3

A battle royale when used in reference to "fist fighting"  means ten to twelve guys, sometimes blindfolded (preferably in an enclosed space) swinging at each other. The last man standing is declared the winner.   In times past they were often used as a source of entertainment for the White Elite within the confines of clubs like the Augusta National Golf Course.  Beau Jack emerged a winner at Augusta and went on to have a successful carreer as a professional in the 1940's and 50's.  He lived a long life and spent a good many of his later years as a bootblack back in Georgia where he often gave shines to the rich and famous eg.  Frank Sinatra.
