In general when Death Fights are mentioned, it is the illegal Death Fights between Sentient being and lethal life forms, Sentient Life Form Hunts, Obstacle Races with lethal traps and the Death Arena Fights conducted and promoted on Free Space planets such as Sin 4, Alvor's Cove etc.

Watching or transmitting these fights are not against the law. Active promotion or profiteering by Union Businesses is illegal, but Union Companies found many loop holes to do it anyway.

Illegal underground death fights occur on Pluribus, Blue Moon and other Union Planets. They are usually Criminal Syndicate controlled and there is heavy betting on those events.

Death Fight Broadcasts are quite popular on certain GalNet channels.
