CompuBox Launching Fantasy Boxing Game
ThrowdownFantasy.com Introduces Fantasy Boxing Challenge
New York – April 27, 2013 – Throwdown Fantasy introduces fantasy sports games that let you draft a team of fighters and win real money. The website will launch with an inaugural game that is free for all players with cash prizes being given out for the top 5 score leaders. The website will fully launch with weekly Salary Cap Fantasy Drafts similar to other daily fantasy websites.
Fantasy games will last over a 4 week period and players will draft 5 fighters based on the upcoming scheduled fights. Each fighter will be assigned a Salary and each team will have a Salary Cap. New games will roll out each week with a fighter pool from the upcoming 4 week schedule.
Once the full website launches, similar to the daily fantasy websites, players can enter into cash games by making deposits and the top score leaders of each game will win cash prizes.
Players will get points based on the decision of the fights and the statistics. The statistics include Total Punches Landed, Total Punches Thrown, Knockdowns, Connect Percentage and a fighter’s Plus/Minus (Total Connect Pct. minus their opponents Total Connect Pct.).
Throwdown Fantasy is powered by CompuBox. CompuBox has been in the boxing business for over 28 years and is the official stats company for all major TV networks.
