Question 1

I have no sparring experience, can I still participate?

Accepted Answer

Not only can you, you should! This event is open to all skill levels and gives you an opportunity to step in the ring with an opponent and a ref. There will be no decision, no scoring, and will be very closely monitored throughout.

Question 2

If I can’t go more than a couple rounds, am I out of the competition?

Accepted Answer

No, the goal is to do as many rounds as possible in 2.5hrs, but they do not need to be consecutive. So, if you want to take a break, watch some of the other sparring sessions or relax, you can join back in when ready. The winners will be decided by the total rounds completed at the end of the day.

Question 3

I’m not registered with Boxing Manitoba, can I still participate?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Your Boxing Manitoba2022 Rec-Membership is included in the Box-A-Thon registration. Because this is controlled body contact only, a formal medical is not required.

Question 4

I want to support the event but I don’t want to get in the ring, how can I help?

Accepted Answer

Pan Am welcomes your support… Please consider donating to some of your favourite trainers, class members and friends if they are participating.

Question 5

If we give donations, do we get a donation receipt?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pan Am Place is a registered charity.All donations over $25 with the necessary information on the donation form will receive a tax receipt.

Question 6

Will I be matched up with an opponent according to weight and skill level?

Accepted Answer

No. Because the idea is to keep it fun, it is not a real fight and skill & weight will not be considered. Referees will pay close attention to what is going on in the ring and will immediately stop anything unsafe. Participants also have the option to “pass” and move on to another ring if they are concerned about a certain opponent. The idea is not to take anyone out or to “win”, it’s to go as many rounds as you can and raise as much $$ as possible.

Question 7

Who collects the donation forms and what do I do with the money I raised?

Accepted Answer

You are responsible to collect and hand in your donation forms no later than June 27, 2022. This will be your responsibility. For per round completed donations, you will be given signed proof of how many rounds you completed that can be shown to donors, and they can call us to verify it if they wish.

Question 8

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer
