That character would last about a minute in a gym like the Hit Pit. He would have been thrown out immediately (especially if he's annoying boxers in training and not paying any dues).
Maybe you're right Johann, but this isn't a documentary, and it's to show this ain't just any old gym, it has a heart -- and it's really hard up. I never know what people mean when they say of a movie "this wouldn't happen in real life." Isn't real life stranger than anything you could imagine?
