Chessboxing
has a convivial party atmosphere and is far more female friendly than a normal
boxing crowd, with 40% of tickets purchased by ladies.
Here is more, with the subheader Swedish Chessboxing Sensation in London. About a year ago, five or so people sent me links about chessboxing for "Markets in Everything." I didn't think it was weird enough to merit inclusion in the series. But now, with the addition of "Swedish" and "ladies" to the mix (or is it the "convivial party atmosphere"?), I think it is weird enough. Here is Wikipedia on chessboxing.
Tyler,
Please add this contribution to your series on markets on everything:

I think it is not really fair. If you had an opponent like fedor emelianenko you get down in the first 10 sec.
