Lowtax is just this guy, you know?
Jesus. You'd think he gave some people blowjobs every morning and then spent the rest of the day feeding poison to other people's grandmothers.

Although his blowjobs are pretty amazing, I do like to pretend that I read somethingawful because I think it's entertaining.
But seriously, Lowtax and co. actually do do a great job at SA in my honest opinion.

I dunno, has anything along the lines of "the victim should have known what was going to happen" ever been a valid defence for any crime?
Yep. A football player doesn't really have a battery case if he gets a broken leg as a result of a perfectly normal tackle. Likewise, a boxer doesn't really have a battery case if he gets a broken nose in a run of the mill boxing match. If you consent to harmful activity, you can't really sue when the activity harms you.
It won't apply if you're a minor or mentally handicapped or otherwise legally unable to consent though.

True thought that is Star, surely that is all moot when Boll has told them that it was just a PR stunt and that no "real" boxing was going to be had. That is if we believe them.

You're wrong on several levels.
Firstly, I'm not "acting the hardguy". I'm 6 feet tall, weigh 260lb, and my chest and thigh circumferences are 45 and 28 inches respectively (I just measured them). I don't need to "act the hardguy" because I'm naturally built like a brick shithouse, and I don't need to shirk away from physical confrontation.
So you're bigger than Shane Webcke ("warhorse") the prop for the Brisbane Broncos?

The broncos better win and give old Webcke the send-off he deserves. The thing I respect about the guy is how he seems to be a genuinely nice guy, despite the fact that he makes a living out of beating the hell out of people.

Yeah, thats how fraud would kick in. I just think you could probably make an argument that regardless of what they were told, they knew what they were getting into anyways.
I don't know how GOOD the argument would be, but it's there.

Think about that for a minute and tell us why it's blatantly wrong:
Under that logic ("surely that is all moot") any contract would be rendered invalid simply by saying something to the contrary while, or before, you're signing it.
Has to be a slightly higher standard than that.
Evidently, there are at least two people whom your cleaner is smarter than in this thread.
Pssst. Starreh. Hit'em with the Four Corners and Parol Evidence Rules next

Oh yes, I forget - since this is a legal issue I should have been clearer. My bad for the sentence "when Boll has told them that it was just a PR stunt". I didn't mean "told" as in verbally, I meant as in any contract signed stated that it was a PR stunt and not a real match. In retrospect this is unlikely, else those guys who got knocked about badly would probably be talking Boll to court.

In"retrospect?"
You're dumber than I thought. You honestly, at
any point in time, thought that they'd have a contract that said "ho ho ho, we're going to box but I'm not really going to hit you hard."
