WHat is mercy backyard fighting?
We are an organisation that prides itself on having fighters who not only have the Ambition to Fight but to do their best to Win. By implementing a scoring system that leans on decisions being more likely to be a draw if there is no definitive winner at the end of the bout. Fighters must, "Make a statement" with their performances in the ring, in order to gain a victory on their "Official Mercy Records".

FIghter Compensation.
FIghter Compensation.
Currently, our company is solely funded by our own personal incomes and are considered a Sports Club. Because of this, fighters Do Not receive any form of award for showing up or winning an event. In the near future, we do hope to implement some form of system to be able to give our combatants some form of "compensation" for their bravery, and willingness to fight. But as for now, anyone fighting under the "Mercy Backyard Fighting" banner, is doing so for the sole purpose of testing their fighting abilities against a more then willing opponent, looking to do the same.
