Some may see this as a morally questionable form of entertainment. The only condition was that if he hurt one of the midgets the fight would be over. The most unusual I have seen so far is one of the punters jumping in the ring to fight three midgets with one arm tied behind his back (I think he lost a bet in a group of rowdy Brits in the bar that night. If you tip big enough they will organize anything within reason. It is a place where almost anything goes. The little guys are at the perfect height to strike a painful blow the crown jewels. You can jump in the ring and referee the fight if you want to, but be prepared to shout all of the participants some expensive drinks for the privilege… If you do step into the ring remember to protect your nuts! You will be treated to midget boxing, lady boxing and the occasional tag team match of jelly wrestling. The centerpiece of the entertainment is the boxing ring. But it is an anything goes kind of place with booze, music, girls and an unusual brand of entertainment if you are that way inclined. This venue is definitely not for everyone and would be somewhat distasteful for many. The combination of culture shock, and the novelty of a venue that would be completely illegal in most, if not all, western countries makes for an interesting introduction to Manila and the Philippines. For a first timer in Manila the midget boxing at Ringside Bar experience will certainly be an eye-opener.
