Two characters, or two factions (or occasionally more), try to fake a fight between each other. Either a third party or circumstance set them up (especially in an Involuntary Battle to the Death), or they need to make the other see that they're fighting, either for PR reasons or to distract them from something else, etc. Maybe one or both of them don't actually want to fight at all (either they're pacifistic, or one of them likes the other too much, etc) or one is so outmatched that there is no chance of them making it out alive. To the people watching the moment, it looks like they really are fighting as they cheer for one of the fighters to succeed. That being said, there are times when the two fighters end up being pretty obvious that they are acting, yet their audience still ends up buying it. In a few of these staged battles (but not all of them), the two have a designated victor for their fight while the other takes the fall. There are also staged fights where there is no assigned winner, either because they don't know who to give the win to, or their reason isn't for either to win. They could be trying to show some people why fighting is wrong, or they could be trying to provide a distraction. Whatever the reason, the fight is faked for the benefit of one or both of the people involved. However, there are also moments where their staged fight will accidentally break out into a real fight (such as when one of them hits the other too hard, or one of them doesn't realize it's meant to be fake), or even reveal to have been a real fight all along. When this happens, one or both characters may find themselves in a panic over the fact that they have to start fighting for real. When it comes to live-action media, practically all fights are faked for entertainment. However, for a battle to count as this trope, it has to actually be acknowledged in-universe to have been staged by the two fighters. Supertrope to Distracting Fake Fight. See also Monster Protection Racket. Not to be confused with Let's You and Him Fight. |

In Wonder Woman (1942) #177, Wonder Woman and Supergirl are kidnapped by Galactic Conqueror Klamos and ordered to battle to the death in a tournament to decide who will become Klamos' queen. Supergirl seemingly wins the duel and kills Wonder Woman, only for the latter to get up and attack Klamos, revealing him to be a robot controlled by his diminutive "assistant" Grok, and they had merely pretended to fight so that Wonder Woman could get close enough to expose him. | |

In The Road to El Dorado, Tulio and Miguel stage a sword fight, complete with requisite Flynning, to get away from some irate gamblers who had just realized that Tulio was using loaded dice against them. They do it again near the end to get a good duel-sucker punch on the mad priest. | |

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: In the film adaptation, Frodo and Sam, disguised as orcs, get forced into an army unit on the way to the Black Gate. When the unit is put up for inspection, Frodo realizes the inspector is suspicious of them, and they need to get away before they're found out. He tells Sam to start fighting with him. The sudden apparent violence riles up the orcs so much that Frodo and Sam are able to sneak away in the confusion. | |

48 Hrs.: Near the beginning of the film a man stops his car close to a crew of prison inmates doing roadside cleanup and starts yelling racial epithets at one of the crew, a Native American. The two soon start fighting and are soon rolling on the ground wrestling with each other. Then they both produce guns that the motorist had hidden under his shirt and shoot the two guards who had been guarding the work crew. The entire fight had been a trick to help the inmate escape. | |

Shows up way back in an episode of The Rifleman, when Lucas McCain posts bail for an old friend arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct, despite said friend's vehement objections. Once out of earshot of the sheriff, the suddenly perfectly sober friend explains he'd actually wanted to go to jail because a member of the gang he'd been tailing for the US government was there and he'd planned to squeeze the man for some info. McCain, realizing the only quick way available to fix the problem, laments that he's about to lose $50, proceeds to engage the agent in a very public fight that causes Sheriff Micah to re-arrest the man, allowing him to proceed with his plan. | |

In the Looney Tunes Cartoons short "Boarding Games", Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot get sent to a pet hotel where Pussyfoot wanders into the dog side which is of course full of cat-hating dogs. When she finally gets discovered by the other dogs, Marc Anthony steps in and pretends he wants to get the first hit in and puts on a big show of Pussyfoot beating him up senselessly, making the other dogs back off out of fear. | |

Subverted in Ultimate Muscle. When Kid Muscle finds himself having to go up against his father in a fight, he thinks it will be a piece of cake with the belief that the whole fight would be staged. As the two engage, Kid Muscle tells his father what to do during the fight, only for his father to do completely different actions. Soon enough though, Kid Muscle realizes that the whole fight isn't staged at all, and he attempts to back out. | |

The Reluctant Dragon: Ultimately the case in the titular cartoon. The dragon has no interest in fighting Sir Giles as he doesn't wish to get hurt. However, Sir Giles finds a way to get the dragon to agree. During the fight, the two are shown goofing around rather than actually fighting during parts of the fight where nobody can see them, with the fight ending with Sir Giles thrusting his sword between the dragon's shoulder and the dragon playing dead. | |

At one point a big bully insults her, so the geek puts his glasses in his shirt pocket before going off to defend her honor. When he emerges victorious from the fistfight, Encyclopedia whispers a few words to Sally, who promptly decks the geek and stalks off in a temper. He told her to look at the guy's glasses, had it been a real fight they would have been broken from the bully's punches to the chest. | |

Leverage has at least two examples. In "The Homecoming Job," Nate & Sophie wander around a shipping yard dressed as tourists just off a cruise ship arguing about where they parked their car in order to distract the guards so that the rest of the team can sneak in and set up the con needed to take down a Congressman who is trying to smuggle money he embezzled out of the country. In "The Ice Man Job," Eliot poses as a guard and Hardison pretends to knock him out during a fake fistfight to not only impress some diamond-stealing Russian goons but to also buy Parker time to break into the vault where the diamonds are and help set up all the bad guys involved before the real police arrive. |

The Incredible Hercules: Hercules is asked by some Asgardians to dress up as The Mighty Thor and defeat Alfyse, Queen of the Dark Elves, because Thor is the only person Alfyse will yield to. However, Alfyse is also absolutely gorgeous, and she and "Thor" begin flirting, leading to the two of them sleeping together. In the morning, this backfires as Alfyse uses this to declare herself Thor's wife by ancient rite, and thus she can now invade Asgard and declare herself queen legitimately. To rectify this, the Asgardians find the real Thor, dress him as "Hercules" and have him fight Alfyse's husband "Thor" to thwart the invasion. The two men being Friendly Rivals, "Hercules" makes an offhand insult that he "won't hurt" his friend, but an insulted "Thor" sucker-punches him and their fight becomes a hilarious farce filled with both men trying to overpower the other using schoolyard tactics like a kick to the groin, purple nurple, and other silliness. Eventually, "Hercules" gets frustrated that "Thor" isn't taking a dive as promised, but "Thor" says that unless his opponent stops holding back, the elves won't buy it. After the fight finally ends, it turns out that Hercules (the real one) set this up so that from now on, everyone would know that "Hercules defeated Thor, once and for all". | |

While they comply, reluctantly, at first, neither student really sees this as necessary given they're friends, and decide to teach their teachers a lesson by engaging in a bit of over-the-top mayhem that seemingly reduces them to atoms. While the distraught Bugs and Taz begin crying over seemingly getting their proteges killed, the two appear in an onscreen circle congratulating each other. Unfortunately Bugs and Taz being old pros means they're more than capable of noticing this and nabbing their students in turn. | |

In Action Comics #600, Darkseid tries to throw Superman and Wonder Woman into a "Let's You and Him Fight" situation by having Kalibak impersonate Superman and attack Wonder Woman, while Amazing Grace, in the guise Wonder Woman, attacks Superman. When Superman and Wonder Woman meet again, they start fighting, and Darkseid believes he has convinced the heroes that they were attacking their enemy instead of each other...only to realize too late that Superman and Wonder Woman were pretending to fight, while they smashed their way into his throne room. | |

In the Breadwinners episode "Food Fight Club", Swaysway and Buhdeuce stumble upon the titular club run by T-Midi (known as "Muscle Daddy" in the club) who forces the duo to fight each other. The two initially pretend to fight, however T-Midi doesn't buy it for a second and gives them weapons. At which point they turn Ax-Crazy and fight for real, much to the horror of the former, who eventually considers them to be too rough after they knock out the head fighter. | |
