I remember playing this back in the day. It was my first non-football (soccer) management game I ever played.</p><p> </p><p>
For those that have never heard of it. You start off as a manager and can hire up to 5 randomly generated boxers.</p><p> </p><p>
There are 2 boxing promotions that feature 100 boxers, all fight in both promotions but are at different ranked levels.</p><p> </p><p>
I think both promotions had belts at ranked 75, 50, 25 and 1 was the World Champion.</p><p> </p><p>
I dont think it had weight divisions.</p><p> </p><p>
I remember as manager you had to set the training regime of each boxer. Also you had to call up other managers who were managing at least one of the other boxers, many managed a stable of boxers, to arrange the fight, when it would take place, which promotion it would be part of.</p><p> </p><p>
The only slow part of the game was the boxing fights itself. It is like a very limited boxing-centric version of what is in WMMA.</p><p> </p><p>
I've no doubt it would be easy to make a better game than this, more promotions, more managers, weight divisions, the ability to buy/sell boxers etc.</p><p> </p><p>
It's still possible to play this game using an emulator for one of the machines it was out on. I'm sure its out of copyright by now anyway.</p>
