Pillow fighting is moving out of the bedroom and into the boxing ring. The Pillow Fight Championship, or PFC, plans (hold) its first live pay- to- watch event in Florida May 29,2023.
Steve Williams had the idea of (transform)a children's game into a professional fighting sport. The head of PFG said professional pillow fighting will have the (excite) of hand-to-hand fighting without the violence of mixed martial arts, or MMA, and boxing. Ho said it was not a joke.
The athletes in January's event come (most) from MMA and boxing. But Williams said the athletes are not going to get (injure),"The fighters don't like to be hurt, and those want to see good competition just don't want to see violence."
Since many people grew up pillow fighting with (friend) or relatives, Williams hopes the new sport will be popular and can attract a large audience, including children.
"You can call it unusual sport, but we think it's going to have main appeal," he said." Think about how they mixed country music with rap music and (bring) these different audiences together. That's what we're doing, and we hope it brings in a different kind of viewer."
