Pillow fighting has become a professional sport
Pillow fighting has now become a professional combat sport with the Pillow Fighting Championship (PFC). An event was recently held with 16 man and 8 woman tournament style battle took place held in Florida.
That first paragraph is certainly a bit hard to believe. Professional pillow fighting has become a legitimate sport. Yes, somehow we’re living in a reality where this is a thing. But when you consider that YouTube stars are battling combat sports legends, really, anything is possible.
Recently an event was held featuring 16 men and 8 women. The 16 men battled each other while the 8 women respectively did the same. The prize money for the event was a $5000 payout to the winners.

This hilarious sport has gone viral for a reason. PFC is quite an interesting case as a start up combat sports company.
The unusual format will certainly draw eyes to it…for a time.
After the initial viral shock of the first few events, it’s hard to imagine the sport going very far. After all, it’s not like the PFC is attracting the pinnacle of high level athletes. In this current moment in time, when things seem so uncertain, a quick $5000 payday isn’t the worst of prospects. Factor that in with the unlikelihood of injury and it’s certainly viable option for some who are down are their luck.
Would you tune in to watch the PFC?
