I came up with an idea to have organised fights between players in a sort of Fight Club. The basic idea is a group of participants and spectators will get together and a player will request to fight another player in that group in a controlled contest - this means both start with full armour and health (or just full health for quick matches ) and there is no outside interference i.e. other people shooting. There are also no health/armour pickups allowed during the fight. The players not fighting during this time are the spectators and are not allowed to shoot at those players currently fighting. So far two such contests have been held with a very small number of players, some which were only spectators, it went very well. With a small group of players each player can fight every other player at least once, but larger groups may benefit from a 'Winner stays' type match (with health/armour pickups in-between bouts ). These matches took place just outside the ship near the armour pickup at the end of the casino and proved to be quite entertaining! However, I think a nice spot to host the Fight Club event would be the motel (where the clowns and chickens fight for control of the base). Here are some screenshots:
The reason I think this is a good spot is because of the arena type setting it provides along with the isolation. The courtyard of the motel would be the fight area and is of a decent size I reckon (there's no-where to hide ). You've also got the balconies that surround the courtyard, providing two levels for spectators to watch the fights from! Players not fighting must be out of the way and on one of the upper levels - it's for your own good because there will probably be some stray bullets and they do provide some cover!
Here is a link to a video (5MB AVI) of Chillosophy vs. Biig Russ in the Fight Club event filmed earlier this morning. It give you an idea of what it is like, but I think it would be even more cool at the motel. This was a close match and as you will see I caught a stray bullet.

At the moment there is nothing to stop other players in LVP from interfering whilst a fight is going on, but perhaps we could have some admins guarding the front entrance, or maybe someone sitting in a truck to block it. If any spectator steps out of line, I guess admins could jail them . The possibilties for this are far and wide. 2 vs. 2 matches are another idea and with scripting it may be possible to add a betting system perhaps? Until version 0.2 of sa-mp when indoor controlled fighting may be possible, the motel might be the best place. There are also armour and health pickups nearby, which is handy. For something like this to work it requires cooperation from all players/spectators i.e. we don't want some loonatic going around shooting on the balcony during a fight or basically some idiot ruining it! Something like this would be best timetabled for when the server is quiet.
Anyway, that's my idea. What do you think? Suggestions welcome
