In that kind of "fight," you don't sign up people who can actually fight.

Likewise, it seems odd that the house would be so antagonistic toward combatants filming things from their own point of view. If anything, I'd expect they'd be the first customer for such things, to include in their own composite trids and BTLs. More generally, I don't think it's very important or realistic to stack the world against characters. They get in enough trouble on their own. ;)

You can safely bet that the fight ring sells recording of the combat they organize too. Since what happened in the fight and your opponent's look are in your own record, by matching that against their own they can rather easily pinpoint who you are. So I hope you plan on negociating a deal with them, because I don't think they would take kindly to seomeone undercutting them on that part of their own money-making scheme

Pissing people who probably know who you are, how to contact you, have a decent idea of your abilities and skill level, have access to a decent-sized pool of peoples used to violence and of similar if not higher lethality than yourself and a blatant disregard for law and the generally accepted morality is a bad idea...

you might be able to work a deal with the group selling them a copy of the Raw Data just be sure that you get a good editor for the Sim feed or your still going to feel pretty beat up after the recording. Those hits may only be ultrasound signals to the brain but pain is pain.

Different note; if you give your trodes a signal rating then they can be farther away then the base sig 0 from your link

Hmmm.....Live, raw broadcasts from a pit fighter's simrig.  There's profit there somewhere.

If he has a deal with them - in which case they may even provide him the recording equipment for free ! - or he keeps the records private, no problem.

But if he is undercutting them by selling the record himself and they don't get their share of the money, they are likely to react poorly.
