In this questionably legal sport, spectators gather around while a reality TV show films two homeless residents who have volunteered to fight each other for a $1,000 prize. The locations of the fights are kept secret as to avoid attracting the attention of law enforcement, and only a handful of selected residents are informed where the fight will be, so that they can bid on the winner.
"It really gives the homeless a chance to pull themselves out of their situation," stated the show's producer, "and at the same time it makes for amazing reality TV!"
The twelve episode show will air on cable television later this fall, and include cities from the greater DC area including:
- Hagerstown, MD
- Baltimore, MD
- Martinsburg, WV
- Laurel, MD
- Fairfax, VA
- Gaithersburg, MD
Participants are provided all safety equipment used by professional boxers, and must follow strict professional boxing rules.
Residents are encouraged that, should they happen upon the show during filming, to place small monetary bids on the winner. The loser of the fight will receive fifty percent of the pot collected, to help pay for medical bills.
Who would win, a homeless street fighter or an Amish rake fighter? The Hagerstown Report is satire.
