We've all heard about the Superfighter Tournament of Heavyweights which is scheduled for December 1 (the American time). Lots of hypes like "high intensity", "revolutionary new concept" and "complete sports package", are hovering around this boxing event. But what is this Superfighter Tournament actually?

Beneath all the hypes, Superfighter Tournament is in fact a one night single elimination tournament lasting about four hours with eight Heavyweights, both former and future champions, contending for the prize money of $5 millions. Each fight consists of four rounds and no loss will be counted on the fights' record.

As a boxing fan, I didn't see much from it. The two top heavyweight contenders Samuel Peter and Calvin Brock, both are the most touted among the eight and clearly the contenders who could help make this night show more entertaining, will possibly not participate due to their respective upcoming matchups. Samuel Peter is to rematch with James Toney slated for early January or February and Calvin Brock will challenge current IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko on Nov. 11, just three weeks before the tournament. The rest of the eight that rings the bell to me is only the three guys, the former heavyweight champ Chris Byrd, cruiserweight titlists O'Neil Bell and heavyweight contender Jameel McCline.

On the other hand, this Superfighter Tournament will bring nectar to the aridity of the Heavyweights. By holding this boxing event, those second-class heavyweights can positively enhance and raise their profiles among boxing fans around the world while earning a significant amount of money without the risk of a loss on their record.

Boxing has become a business and this is what the business is all about.
