Abstract

In professional boxing, a higher-ranked boxer chooses his opponent among challengers varying in popularity and strength. We build a three-stage model of a professional boxing fight between the chooser and a challenger to examine the strategic incentives of a chooser in sharing the purse and exerting a proper level of effort. More importantly, we endogenize the choice of the opponent and the purse to be generated. We found that an older chooser who is ready to cash in his reputation tends to choose a stronger opponent with little effort, while a young rising “star” prefers a match against weaker opponents.

职业拳击手的激励与战略行为

在职业拳击中，排名较高的拳击手会在人气和实力不同的挑战者中选择对手。我们建立了一个选择者和挑战者之间职业拳击比赛的三阶段模型，以检验选择者在分享钱包和发挥适当努力方面的战略激励。更重要的是，我们内生对手的选择和产生的钱包。我们发现，一个准备利用自己声誉的年长选择者往往会毫不费力地选择一个更强的对手，而一个年轻的后起之秀更喜欢与较弱的对手比赛。
