TO THE VICTOR GOES THE SPOILS!!!!!

Prizefighter offers an opportunity for lower ranked fighters and the unranked contenders the chance to prove themselves in an open field, where rankings just don’t matter. This tournament is only for the most daring, the bold and the desperate.

It provides a new surge of life to the Champion’s record and a WBU Title shot, while winning the Prizefighter trophy:
Image

Rules of Prizefighter:
1. Prizefighter has been scheduled for three tournaments this boxing season : (Weeks 10, 20, 30)

2. Eight fighters in a series, first come first served. But only 1 fighter per Manager to spread the opportunities around... Although this rule is soemtimes relaxed.

3. Prizefighter will be run true to life... A straight KO format, series run in a single week.

And What happens to the Prizefighter Champion?
4. The Prizefighter Champion will receive a mandatory WBU Title shot the following week. (Weeks 11,21,31). This is a Mandatory title defence for the WBU Champion. The Prizefighter Champion ranking cannot exceed above the 16th rank.

FIRST NOTE: If the WBU Champ refuses the title defence, he will be stripped of the title and the Prizefighter Champion will participate in a title fight against an opponent chosen by the Commish.

In the event of a draw?
5. If a fight goes the distance, here is the systematic criteria which is followed until we find the victor:
* It goes to the judges cards.
* If tied... It goes to the Commish’s card.
* If still tied... Total knockdowns scored (aggressive fighting is encouraged).
* If still tied... Most punches landed.

SECOND NOTE: If a fight is stopped due to injury, the injured fighter will be withdrawn as he can’t fight later in the night and his opponent progresses to the next round, regardless of the scoring at the time of the stoppage.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
Who can enter?
There are only 2 conditions: (rankings must be accurate of weeks 10,20,30)
A. For fighters ranked below 15 on the Commish’s official rankings
B. For fighters ranked outside of the title rankings.

THIRD NOTE: If a fighter signs up for Prizefighter and on the week of the series breaches the above conditions he will be considered inelligible.

What about later tournaments?
C. The Prizefighter Champion cannot re-enter a later series. Why repeat yourself?
D. New blood is preferred in later tournaments. But fighters who have entered previous Prizefighters can also enter, but will be placed on the “maybe” list until the week of the series.

What about the draw?
E. The eight gladiators will be numbered by Don Krease. A copy of the numbers will be sent to a neutral Manager (to prevent any claims of funny business).

The honourable commish Mr TzsyuForever will pick the numbered match-ups.

Barry Hearns in partnership with Don Krease will announce the draw (verified by the neutral manager)

Who will follow in the same glorious and blood-soaked path as the previous champions:

Well, if Floyd is not allowed to fight in Prize Fighter, he would be happy to face Maxim.

Maxim's already agreed to fight Archie Moore this week...sorry I'm very quick with setting up my fights.

I'm all for Maxim vs Patterson in Week 30 if you are though...who knows Maxim may be WBA Champion by then :OhYes:

Once a Prizefighter Champion, always a Prizefighter Champion!

Because of this age old privilege, a former Champion cannot contest a future Prizefighter. Firstly it prevents him from detracting from his Prizefighting legacy as an unbeaten Champion and secondly it allows another pilgrim a chance to ascend to the Prizefighter Heaven.

Also, it is with confused regards that we remind you that PF Champions are awarded a trophy for eternity. It is startling to think that you have had one for nine weeks now and you have never looked upon it.

It is pretty amazing that you have not activated yet your IBO Title shot in nine weeks.

After my research I have come to realise that it is not entirely all your own fault on this matter, the MDT came at an unusual time this season (usually it starts around Weeks 15-18) and unluckily it affected your title shot.

Unfortunately your reminder has come at a bad time for us this season. Last week, I granted that the IBO Title would be unifiable with the World Titles in a bid to tie up loose ends and close the season out in Week 35 - with the conclusion of the Super Six.

But at the same time you do have a valid claim for a title shot - yet, Mr Ketchel is not ranked highly enough for a World Title shot. Normally, I would sanction Mr Ketchel a World Tile shot for next week, but if I do that for you, then I would also have to do the same for the third Prizefighter Champion and we just don't have the time.

As a compromise, I will resurrect the old World's Top Fighter belt, remember that?

This belt will be fought for in Week 31 between Stanley Ketchel and the final Prizefighter Champion. And it will stay in circulation until Week 35, the final week of this season.

The "World's Toughest Fighter" belt should not be smirked at, laughed about, disrespected, or spat upon.

Yeah! And it keeps the time better than any other belt in the world. Almost like a miniature version of Big Ben.... Almost.

Certainly... However Choynski is currently ranked 20th - if he moves into the top 15 for next weeks rankings, then he will become inelligible for Prizefighter. But as it stands, his name is on the list.

I would still encourage Managers to apply for Prizefighter if they are interested. The above eight are not guarantee to be elligible for next weeks tourney.
