Fight Night Economy
Understand card capacity, venues, gate sales, broadcasts, sponsors, purses, fixed costs, and card settlement.
Promoted fight nights combine all booked bouts on a bill into one event result. The card editor previews the money before confirmation and the result page records what settled.
Venue tiers
| Venue | Seats | Maximum bouts | Reputation to book |
|---|---|---|---|
| Club | 800 | 4 | 0 |
| Theater | 4,000 | 5 | 25 |
| Arena | 15,000 | 6 | 75 |
| Stadium | 40,000 | 8 | 400 |
These exact values are shown by the current venue picker and come from the launch version's venue configuration. Larger venues have higher ticket potential, rent, production costs, and broadcast ceilings.
Regional title fights require Theater or larger when placed on a promoted card. World title fights require Arena or larger.
Revenue lines
Gate comes from tickets sold. Capacity limits attendance. Ticket demand responds to the show and promotion rather than filling every seat automatically.
Broadcast is determined from the card's draw, venue ceiling, and bill depth. National, global, and pay per view opportunities require enough bouts. The editor tells you when adding a bout would unlock a stronger tier.
Event sponsor includes guaranteed money and a bonus tied to a show rating target. This is separate from weekly sponsorship income.
Expense lines
Purses pay both fighters in every bout. Contract terms can affect a player's fighter, while title status and rank also shape the split.
Backend points can add a share of event upside for sufficiently strong main event or co main draws.
Venue rent and production are fixed event costs. Sanctioning fees apply to title purse costs. An empty large building can therefore lose much more than an undersized club.
Card order matters
The main event contributes the headline identity and strongest promotion position. The co main is the second slot. Remaining bouts form the undercard. Stronger cards can improve show quality and unlock broadcast value, while each added bout also adds purses.
Projected versus settled
The editor's projected net is a decision aid. At settlement the game records gate, broadcast or pay per view, sponsor money, purses, backend points, rent, production, sanctioning fees, show rating, and final net.
Review the difference after each show. It is the best evidence for choosing the next venue and bill size.
