okay, boxing seems to be in at the mo.

in the earliest prize fights for women, why were they required to hold coins?

Because the male organisers were convinced they'd try and slap each other if they weren't forced to keep their hands balled into fists in some manner?

Weyland is close. it is to do with making sure they kept fists clenched.

Did they get the coins that the crowd threw into the ring ?

To give more weight to their punches so that they would do more damage to each other?

nice thought NM, it is not the reason though.

it is to do with prevention of something rather than adding anything.

breaking their nails?
