Directions for question :

In a fictitious situation, renowned boxing promoter Mr Don King convinced eight of the world’s all time great heavyweight and middleweight boxers spanning four decades, to have a friendly round-robin competition from Christmas Eve of 2022 to New Years Day 2023, at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Mr Sugar Ray Robinson of USA,  Mr Rocky Marciano of USA,  Mr Iron Mike Tyson of USA,  Mr Manny Pacquiao of Philippines,  Mr Big George Foreman of USA,  Mr Robert Duran of Panama,  Mr Joe Frazier of USA and  Mr Muhammad Ali of USA were the competitors.

  • According to the rules of the competition, every boxer was to fight all the others exactly once. 
  • There would be no fixed number of rounds, and the fights would go on till one fighter loses on points, gets knocked out or concedes defeat. 
  • The winner of every fight would win one million USD as prize money, while the loser would get nothing as prize money. 
  • At the start of the competition all the eight boxers were bestowed world ranking numbers from world number one to world number eight, depending upon their performance and popularity in their prime. 
  • Mr Rocky Marciano, who was the most senior of them all, was unanimously bestowed the rank of world number three. 
  • However, contrary to general expectations, Mr Sugar Ray Robinson was not accounted among the top five rankers in the world. 
  • Also at the end of the competition, it was found that by sheer co-incidence, all the boxers had won one million USD less than the world ranking number they were bestowed with.
