I have always toyed with the Idea of running a title bout campaign through extensive use of random events. Ive never done anything much about it however so i thought i would give it some thought and see if I could come up with some kind of system to give some life and excitement to people's universes and help spark some creative juices.

I want to include both huge events which would effect the whole of the sport plus a lot of more personal events which would affect individual boxers.

A lot of the global sport events would be in the line of what if? events that would effect the whole structure of the sport, sometimes just working in the background sometimes having really tangible effects. Similarly real world events such as wars, disease independent of the sport but which would have far reaching affects may or may not occur.

If we take this as a idea to help people run historical universes then it makes sense to split up the events into distinct eras of boxing as it dosent make much sense for a boxer fighting in 1902 to roll up an event saying he's got a new tv contract!

So era's that come to mind are.

Pioneer (1880- 1910)
World War One (1910's)
Roaring Twenties (1920's)
Chaotic Thirties (1930's)
World War Two (1940's)
TV and the Mob (1950's)
Great Global Reach (1960's)
Popularity Soars (1970's)
Alphabet Boys (1980's)
Boxing's Decline (1990's)
Modern Era (2000's)

Will start with the pioneer era and try to come up slowly! with a 100 events and see where it goes.
