I have spoken with a couple breeders and they suggested having 2 males, to combat and prevoke breeding. Is this really nessesary? Will you have a better breeding responce if they combat? I only have one male, will he be sufficient?

Very helpful, but not necessary. One trick you can use is to keep an old shed of your male's and put it in with him in breeding season.
~40 Ball Pythons (mostly Freeway/Asphalt, Bongo, GHI, and Leopard combos)
3.8.3 Green Tree Pythons (mostly TM/TW blueline, a few Highland/Wamena)
1.2 Children's Pythons
1.2 Cay Caulker Boas
1.2 Black Fuli House Snakes
1.0.4 Amazon Tree Boas (1x tiger, 3x halloween garden, 1x garden)

Sounds like a much safer alternative than keeping two males together, in my opinion. As long as you are sure that there won't be any cross contamination of parasites ( mites, etc ... ), this sounds like something worth trying.

Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new donkey for whomever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya.

According to the Ball Python Manual, the combats are pretty harmless as they only wrestle each other and the winner usually the ones that managed to get the opponent's head lower or touching the surface. Biting and injuries are rare but you must observe these combats as these creatures are still unpredictable.
The combats are quite (and perhaps only) usefull for those inactive (lazy) males that are reluctant to breed. The combat seems to stimulate their breeding instinct.
Hope this helps!
