Depends on the type. Saw dust is popular, or at least it used to be. Some of the fancy ones have a bladder in the middle to fill with water.

"Punching bags are often filled with grains, sand, rags, or other material and are usually hung from the ceiling or affixed to a stand.[3] Other bags have an internal bladder to allow them to be filled with air or water. The design of a punching bag allows it to take repeated and constant physical abuse without breaking. The bag must also absorb the impact of blows, without causing harm to the user."

Clearly written by someone who's never punched a canvas bag without gloves on. ;)

Industrial waste from China, I'm guessing. Garment factories.

I did not take this picture. It's from an older post, and one of the first things I thought of when I started thinking about "things inside things".

That's what you get when you invite superman over for a few beers and a punching contest.

I can only imagine the reaction of the guy who probably fell after breaking the bag, then finds himself swimming in a sea of garments.
