Holding shows at the gym is not the ideal setup IMO, because they are going to be too limited in size to stage any sizeable event and too large to create a proper atmosphere when working out. Add to that the unique aroma that comes with a gym after years of men sweating and farting leaving their workout clothes behind to walk home by themselves I think you may understand what I mean.

But here goes. The ideal gym will require 2 rings. The main one should be in the centre of the space, the second will be easily dismantled to clear space around the main one for the audience. There should be an area for about 8 or 9 punch bags of different weight with plenty of space around each so that those using them dont trip over each other's feet. There should be space next to the bag area with 3 or 4 top and bottom speed balls and 3 or 4 ceiling balls. The flooring Throughout the gym should be unvarnished wood so that you dont slip on the sweat and condensation, a problem I hated when working out.
The next space will for be skipping/ shadow boxing with floor to ceiling mirrors.
Another space for groundwork with plenty of mats and equipment for abdominal workouts. A few exercise bikes will be useful for warmups/losing some extra weight. And a full set weights including dumbells and barbell bench etc.
A lockup cupboard with bag gloves, skipping ropes, sparring gloves, protectors, headguards etc., although most fighters have their own.
A spacious changing room with plenty of shower facilities so that you dont have to wait around for bloody ages when the gym's packed. Perhaps a treatment bench for massages or treating strains or muscle pulls would also be nice.
Also a good regulated heating system for the gym to get the sweat flowing allowing fighters to shed weight, especially during winter.
I think that covers most of the basics of an ideal gym.
