The Ring With The Red Velvet Ropes

  • Absurdly High-Stakes Game: Win one boxing match against the boxing champ and you get the house, the waitstaff, and wife
  • Gilded Cage: James Figg has no access to the outside world, though it's a beautiful house with a fully stocked waitstaff.
  • Nice Guy: James Figg. When he first sees Big Dan telling him he's not the champion he thinks he is, he humbly offers a rematch to make him happy and shows great concern for Dan's injuries. While he is a little abrasive towards the staff, it was only under the impression he was kidnapped. After beating the crap out of Roderick Blanco in the end, his first concern isn't celebrating his victory, it's calling out his trainer and wife for not being more concerned for his safety.
  • Rewatch Bonus: Big Dan's quote below has new meaning after the twist at the end.
    Big Dan: You're no more a champion than I was.
  • Scenery Porn: The house was absolutely stunning.
  • Serious Business: Being the champion, though given the stakes involved, it's justified.
  • Whatever Happened to the Mouse?: It's never shown how Big Dan came to talk to James Figg after the match yet seconds later was in surgery for his bone spurs.
