FIGHT FAQ
Shows and Single Fights
What’s the difference between creating a single fight and organising a show?
Single fights allow you to quickly arrange bouts without the added complexity of organising a show.
Show fights, on the other hand, are created within the framework of a full event. Shows can either be Showcases—an affordable way to build up a novice roster—or Main Events, where both the costs and rewards for your fighters are considerably higher.
How do I create a single fight?
Navigate to the main dashboard and select “Single Fight,” or, if the fighter is available, use the “Make Fight” button on the fighter screen. From there, you’ll be taken to the matchmaker screen, where a list of available opponents will be shown.
Once a fight is agreed upon, it will be added to the schedule, and you’ll receive a notification in the week when it takes place.
How do I add fights to my own show?
First, you need to create a show. Early on, it’s advisable to start with Showcases until your fighters’ fanbase is large enough to generate gate revenue for a Main Event. After selecting to create a new show, you can add fights through the show’s dashboard.
If you have multiple shows or want to view past events, you can access them through the “All Shows” option in the dashboard.
Are there any specific requirements or limits on the number of fights in a show?
You can host one show per week in the game. It’s crucial to include as many fights on the card as possible. The maximum number of fights will vary based on the game state and individual circumstances. Always aim for a full and strong card.
If you don’t schedule enough fights, you risk losing revenue and damaging your reputation.
Single fights, in contrast, can happen in any week and without restrictions.
How does matchmaking work for shows vs. single fights?
Single fights are arranged with fighters managed by other promoters. This means the other promoter manages the event and assumes the risks, while you focus on developing your fighters. There might be additional conditions, such as covering travel costs, but these are specified during matchmaking.
The selection of available opponents may be smaller for single fights if no other promoter is willing to host the bout.
With your own shows, you have more control over opponent selection because you’re organising and funding the event. You can even arrange fights between fighters from the same gym. Showcases are cost-effective as the opposing fighters cover their own expenses through personal ticket sales, helping you build your roster.
Show fights, in contrast to single fights, generate revenue based on ticket sales driven by the fighters’ number of followers. While shows may be harder to profit from initially, they become lucrative as your roster and high-profile fighters grow.
What role do AI promoters play in creating fights and shows?
When organising a show, you act as the primary promoter. You can arrange fights with fighters managed by other promoters, resulting in co-promoted events. Revenue from these co-promoted fights is split between the promotions based on the fight and show type.
Can I still focus only on single fights, or do I need to create shows now?
Yes, you can play the game using just single fights, or expand to organising full shows as your fighter roster grows.
Are there any rewards or incentives for creating and managing a show?
Yes. For any fight you arrange—whether it’s a single fight or part of a show—you receive a percentage of your fighter’s earnings, as specified in their contract. For example, if you have a 33% managerial cut and your fighter earns $1,000, you receive $333.
If you promote the fight as part of a show, you also earn revenue from ticket sales—provided the show is profitable. Otherwise, you’re liable for the expenses.
In single fights, the opposing fighter’s promoter assumes the financial risk, and any profit goes to them. Co-promotions aren’t currently included for single fights.
What are the financial implications of creating a show compared to a single fight?
Organising shows carries greater financial risks and rewards. Single fights provide a steady income stream, allowing you to grow your stable gradually, but at a slower pace. Shows require investment but can lead to substantial profits if managed well.
