These traveling boxing tents invited local men to challenge their boxers for a prize, often resulting in a practical boxing lesson for the challenger. The troupe's leader would invite showgoers to "throw on a glove" and challenge one of his boxers or wrestlers for a prize of "a round or two for a pound or two".
