Boxing nights that pack the pub
Free posters to print and simple ideas for turning your boxing machine into a regular night that brings people in and keeps them at the bar.
Free posters to print
Open a poster, then print it on A4. Write your night, time and prize in the blank spaces with a marker pen.
Boxing Night poster
Put it up a week before at the bar, by the toilets and on the door. Space to add the day, time and prize.
Top Puncher of the Month
A leaderboard to pin up next to the machine. Fill in names and scores through the month, then crown the winner.
Beat the high score sign
A landscape sign for the machine itself. Write the day’s high score on it and watch people queue up to beat it.
How to run a boxing night
It takes very little effort. Try one on a quiet night, then make it a monthly fixture.
Step by step
- Pick a quiet night. A Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday works well, when the bar needs a reason to be busy.
- Put the posters up a week before. At the bar, by the toilets, on the door, and as a photo on your Facebook page.
- Choose a small prize. A drink, a bar tab, a meal or a cheap trophy. It is the bragging rights people want.
- Keep score on the night. Pin the leaderboard by the machine and write up each new top score.
- Announce the winner. Take a photo (with their permission) and post it. Then tell everyone the date of the next one.
Ideas to try
- Top Puncher of the Month: a running leaderboard, with the prize handed out on the last Friday.
- Team nights: darts, pool or football teams add up their best three scores.
- Ladies’ and gents’ boards: two leaderboards, so more people have a chance of winning.
- Charity punch-off: pick a local cause and give them a share of the night’s takings.
- Match nights: run it at half time and after the final whistle when the pub is full.
Keep it fun and safe
- Keep a clear space around the machine and the queue away from the swing.
- Ask players to take off rings and watches before they punch.
- Staff can switch the machine off at any time if someone has had too much to drink.
- If anything stops working, call us on 0333 772 6293 and we will sort it.
