BoxRec

The Million Dollar Tournament (MDT) is a seasonal event in the BoxRecSim, it only comes around once-a-year and it is a HOF recognized event.

The MDT was first devised by the now-transferred PIITB Promotions, where the inventor, a former Sim Brother of ours known as "DetroitHxC" created this seven-week boxing tournament in order to find out who had the stamina for such a marathon.

The MDT is an open tournament of 32 fighters in which ANYONE can enter - and if they do so, they will bring their titles along their MDT journey with them. During the MDT series, all Title rules and regulations are relaxed in order to help the tourney run it's natural course.

The structure of the tournament is - a group stage (8 groups of 4 fighters) with the top 2 progressing through to the second round (the last 16) and from there becomes a straight knockout competition, essentially a situation of:
you win & you're through..... you lose & you're out..... Any draws will be replayed to find a winner that same week.

All Managers should note that upon application of the tournament, they will then by legally required to see through this obligation, there can be no withdrawals, EVER!
Though if a Manager does enter, his fighters will not be able to fight each other. Also, World Champions would not be able to meet each until the Semi Finals. So, the stakes get ever higher as the tournament progresses.

MDT success is rated as a high honour in Simland, the winning Manager will be financially imbursed with $1 million simdollars. Along with that, the triumphant boxer will be remembered in the MDT Roll of Honour which can be found in the HOF.
And lastly, the victor will be awarded a guaranteed place in the end-of-season Super Six - the most highly exclusive club in all of Simland featuring the best of the best. You won't get this ticket anywhere else.

So, have you ever wondered what a Million dollars looks like?


One fighter this season will find out... And gain the ownership of the Million Dollar belt (which cost a £1 million / $1 million )


The MDT will begin in Week 25.

Application process open.

Both of my fighters are willing to enter.

Both of my fighters want in

Froch and Huck are in

Ward and Qawi both want to enter.

Eight CPU opponents have been added to the MDT for this season, this will help us fill out the numbers for the Group Stage and also gives the CPUs a chance at some glory - and as we have seen in previous editions of this tournament, it's been known to happen!!!

Good luck to all participants... Now let's see who has the NERVE

If I need to, I will fill out the MDT with another 4 Cruiserweight CPUs and 4 Super Middleweight CPUs.

Count Jirov and Calzaghe in.......

We welcome "The Dark Destroyer" to the party with enthusiasm and trepidation.

Okay, so to fill out this tourney, I have included 10 Cruiserweight CPU opponents and 10 Super Middleweight CPU opponents. They will be confirmed with the rankings.

The top 10 ranked Cruiserweight CPUs are;
8 Bell O'Neil United States Cruiserweight 1234.1
10 Tarver Antonio United States Cruiserweight 1140.5
13 Cunningham Steve United States Cruiserweight 1018.2
14 Jones Guillermo Panama Cruiserweight 1017.5
15 Daniels Robert United States Cruiserweight 1017.1
16 Miller Nate United States Cruiserweight 1014.6
17 Wamba Anaclet France Cruiserweight 1013.4
18 Belbouli Taoufik France Cruiserweight 1006.4
19 Warring James United States Cruiserweight 1004.7
20 Camel Marvin United States Cruiserweight 1002.4

The top 10 ranked Super Middleweight CPUs are;

11 Nunn Michael United States SuperMiddleweight 1183.9
12 McClellan Gerald United States SuperMiddleweight 1160.0
13 Kessler Mikkel Denmark SuperMiddleweight 1157.4
14 Hearns Thomas United States SuperMiddleweight 1061.5
15 Cordoba Victor Panama SuperMiddleweight 1056.2
16 Baek In-Chul South Korea SuperMiddleweight 1048.6
17 Rocchigiani Graciano Germany SuperMiddleweight 1044.6
18 Singwancha Plaisakda Thailand SuperMiddleweight 1044.0
19 Park Chong-Pal South Korea SuperMiddleweight 1035.1
20 Mitchell Byron United States SuperMiddleweight 1018.8

So they will all be competing in the MDT Group Stage.

Singwancha is out and is replaced by James DeGale

Crazy that there's so many CPU opponents in the Million Dollar Tournament this year. Makes for an interesting field of competition though.

Orlin wanted in.....but they built a wall........

And we know who to blame.

MDT has been updated with the results of the 1st round of bouts results.

As things heat up in the MDT, this deserves a BUMP!



This will be updated tomorrow.

My guys both slipped up in their last bouts in the group stages, but I think they still have enough points to advance to the next round. Any slip ups from here though will result in Elimination so I gotta get my boys prepared for their next bouts whoever they may be facing.

GROUP STAGE FINAL STANDINGS:

Group A
Evander Holyfield - 9 pts.
Mikkel Kessler - 4 pts.
Steve Cunningham - 3 pts.
Byron Mitchell - 0 pts.

Group B
Sven Ottke - 6 pts.
Nigel Benn - 4 pts.
Antonio Tarver - 3 pts.
Marvin Camel - 3 pts.

Note - Tarver beat Camel when they fought.

Group C
Dwight Qawi - 5 pts.
Carl Froch - 5 pts.
In-Chul Baek - 2 pts.
Anaclet Wamba - 2 pts.

Note - Qawi beat Froch & Baek beat Wamba in Week 27.

Group D
Graciano Rocchigiani - 6 pts.
Johnny Nelson - 5 pts.
Nate Miller - 3 pts.
O'Neil Bell - 1 pts.

Group E
Joe Calzaghe - 6 pts.
Gerald McClellan - 3 pts.
Guillermo Jones - 3 pts.
Chong-Pal Park - 2 pts.

Note - McClellan beat Jones when they fought.

Group F
Vassily Jirov - 9 pts.
Steve Collins - 4 pts.
Thomas Hearns - 3 pts.
James Warring - 0 pts.

Group G
Carlos DeLeon - 8 pts.
Marco Huck - 6 pts.
Victor Cordoba - 2 pts.
Taoufik Belbouli - 0 pts.

Group H
Andre Ward - 7 pts.
Michael Nunn - 2 pts.
James DeGale - 2 pts.
Robert Daniels - 2 pts.

Note - three-way ties are always hard to split. So I had to look at their performances against the dominant Mr Ward.
Daniels was removed from contention because he was KO'd, whereas the other two weren't.
And Nunn beat DeGale when they fought, so he progresses.

And in accordance with the original draw made way at the start of the tournament.

SECOND ROUND

Group Winner A VS Group Runner Up B
Evander Holyfield vs Nigel Benn

Group Winner B VS Group Runner Up A
Sven Ottke vs Mikkel Kessler

Group Winner C VS Group Runner Up D
Dwight Qawi vs Johnny Nelson

Group Winner D VS Group Runner Up C
Graciano Rocchigiani vs Carl Froch

Group Winner E VS Group Runner Up F
Joe Calzaghe vs Steve Collins

Group Winner F VS Group Runner Up E
Vassily Jirov vs Gerald McClellan

Group Winner G VS Group Runner Up H
Carlos Deleon vs Michael Nunn

Group Winner H VS Group Runner Up G
Andre Ward vs Marco Huck


The draw has been settled... And so we embark upon the next great stage of our tournament.

50% are still duking it out and 50% have fallen by the wayside.

No second chances now gents, straight elimination competition from hereon out.

BOOM!
