Each seat has a POS (Point-of-Sale) console in which you insert your debit or credit card & the amount of Cyber-Nobbins.

You then get issued, via a box under the seat, with chocolate coins to throw into the ring.

It's brilliant.

I had been given money after a fight But it wasn’t thrown into the ring, it was in the ABA’s 2000 London Finals when Sam Salomon came up to me after the fight and gave me £40 while shaking my hand and congratulatory me, people was coming up to me saying “You do know who that man was that came up to you” I had a Big Head that night

small hall shows generally if there was a decent scrap on. boxers could get a few extra quid maybe upto £100 each, doesnt seem a great deal but its free cash.

I havent come across this for many years and wondered if it still happened really.

That's awesome. Someone told me some time ago that a hockey hat trick originated in passing the hat, so to speak, for the player who scored three goals in a game. Never validated that, but now it seems reasonable to assume. Thanks Mimmy!

That's a great idea in principle. I don't know what boxing shows you go to, but the ones I've been to, by the end, most punters would struggle to operate a point of sale gizmo. In fact, they may have already used the point of sale gizmo, to smash the person in front of them.
