1914 California Proposition 20
California Proposition 20 was a 1914 California ballot proposition, California ballot initiative known as the prize fights initiative. It passed with 56 percent of the popular vote. The prize fight initiative addressed the question of "irreligious prize fights" (as per proponents) versus "moral boxing" (according to opponents). It prohibited charging an admission fee for any fight lasting more than four rounds, and prohibited awarding any prize worth more than $25.

It was approved by 55% of the Californian population, and disapproved by 45% of the Californian population.
