Well, there's always the possibility that clothes will come off. They never do, but if you've watched enough professional wrestling or bad late-night Skinemax movies, you hold out for the hope that a lady fight will end in ripped clothes and full-on lip-locking.
My other theory is that men (and women) just like seeing fights. While we don't want anyone to get hurt, seeing a fight break out has a certain appeal. It's why people rubberneck at accidents or pay $100 a ticket to see Charlie Sheen's "My Violent Torpedo of Truth" tour or the Spider-Man musical. We love a good train-wreck or disaster. There's a part of human beings, whether we want to admit or not, that is still stuck in the Roman age of gladiators getting mauled by tigers and life and death being determined up a thumbs up or thumbs down. It's just that now our gladiatorial spectacles involve New Jersey housewives and drug-addled celebutantes.
Also, I think guys secretly want to see their lady kick butt. Women too want to think their guy could hold his own in a fight even if the only fighting he ever does is when he commits a "fatality" in the new Mortal Kombat game on XBox.

That new MK game looks AWESOME.
I don't care how much it might suck, if somebody would fly me to NY, I would pay for tickets to Turn Off the Dark. It's Spider-Man. Singing. That's awesome.
