MMA Manager Real-World Promotion Update

:boxing_glove: MMA Manager Real-World Promotion Update

Our biggest update yet. We’ve torn out the old boxing-derived career systems and rebuilt the MMA world around how the sport actually works — a pyramid of promotions, contracts, pipelines and politics.

:trophy: A Full Promotion Pyramid
25–30 active promotions across 5 tiers. Tier 1 is the apex, Tier 2 the majors, Tier 3 a busy mid-tier, Tier 4 feeder leagues, and Tier 5 is you. Each promotion has its own roster, per-weight rankings, belts and schedule. No world rankings.

:necktie: Manager and Promoter
Keep your stable — sign, develop, corner your fighters. But now you also run a Tier 5 promotion from day one. Book your roster on your own shows while brokering deals with bigger NPC promotions for your top prospects.

:scroll: Contracts That Feel Like MMA
Show-plus-win deals with escalators, exclusivity clauses and matching rights. Wins advance the pay scale, losses freeze it. Commission, earnings and promotion cuts settle automatically at fight-end.

:handshake: Relationships & Pipelines
New 4-tier system: Cold → Known → Preferred → Pipeline Partner. Preferred unlocks showcases with lenient acceptance. Pipeline Partner triggers a formal pipeline with quarterly retainers — $10k at Tier 4 up to $100k at Tier 1. Finder’s fees scale with relationship depth and wish-list status.

:bar_chart: Rankings, Titles & Matchmaking
New matchmaker fills cards by weight, ranking proximity and contract status. Title engine handles vacancies, defences and champions per promotion — a belt means something specific to where it’s held.

:hammer_and_wrench: Tweaks & Fixes
You spoke, we listened: significantly bumped XP per fight, fixed text contrast issues, improved the fight model, plus tons of QoL features and bug fixes

Question how do you sign fighters to your promotion

Second this, I can’t sign anyone, I can put on shows with my fighters but they’re still free agents

I have a fighter who is going to leave because I can’t make any fights and he is on frozen status with the promotion and contract is expired for the promotion but can’t sign with anyone else and just stuck

When I get a fighter signed into a promotion I keep getting offered the same guys to fight every time. I also find the rate of fight finishing quite low. The game is great though and I am enyoing very much!!
