While I cannot speak for any other producer, I can say that we have never stopped a fight despite possibly having reasons to in at least two of the three we put on.
In Vanessa vs Gia Love, Vanessa twisted her ankle fairly badly. It took her a few minutes to be able to stand up and put weight on it. We gave her time to recover and told her it was totally up to her to continue or not. She fought on. Of course we were never going to stop this without her say so.
In our most recent one, Scarlett vs Anastasia, we considered stopping it a few times. It was such a complete mismatch that we were concerned about Anastasia. Between rounds we discussed it with her and each time she told us she wanted to keep going. As she was so brave, the score was still 0-0 going to the 3rd and final round. Had she tapped out a few times, I think we would have been much more likely to take action into our own hands, though with her insistence to keep going, I don't believe we would have stopped it no matter the score. To her credit, Scarlett fought hard and never let up, even after beating the submission out of her. In fact, it seemed to me that Scarlett was more vicious after she was in the lead. I know it was hard for her but she was amazing.
We have a big one tomorrow with Gia Love vs Kilo. We truly believe this will be a great match. I think Kilo will go right at her, will take the action to the larger Gia. Who knows if I'm right or not, it's for real, so anything can happen.
I do want to respond to Flamingo who wrote "Producers would be able to make a lot more money if they ran it like a wrestling company: That the outcomes can be predetermined. . ." Perhaps I don't understand what you are trying to say but if not, I would think any producer who advertises anything as being real and then attempts to predetermine it at all would (and should) lose all credibility and likely sales. Why would anyone buy a rematch when the 1st one was fixed? I mean, if you want drama and a storyline, check out some of our scripted stuff! I'd recommend the Sorority Fight or Model Fight series. Actually we're in the midst on one now with the Worst Friends series. Our goal is to make them look as realistic as possible, certainly there is no giggling or rolling around, having fun. But when we say we're putting on a real catfight, that's exactly what we do.
Lastly I'll say, and I could be 100% wrong, I think Kilo is on the verge of becoming a major star in the catfight industry. . . She has size, strength, beauty, attitude. . .

Thank you for your input!
Your studios did a wonderful work on the Vanessa vs Gia! Its exactly whats missing in the industry ,real catfight/ wrestling..The rematch would have been great ..
Could you share with the community how you started in the industry and how were you able to finally deliver work of this quality?
I always wonder why Studio do not sponsor the fighters, it would be great to see match between different production companies
Thanks again !
