Cornelius Vanderbilt was known for holding intense bum fights. He would travel from town to town looking for bums, matching them up in fights. The fights often lasted 2 5 minute rounds. The prize usually was a shiny nickel. Though, when he could get women to fight, it would just end with a roll in the hay.
