I totally over looked this one. I played it tonight quite a few times and had not heard of it. It was a blast and now I see it on the top 100, I see why. My one beef is the name vs theme. I would never have guessed Champion Pub was a boxing theme.
Edit:
This is a really fun game on location, but may not last in a small collection. Great game though.

A rare pin indeed, and I found a gem of an example for a really good price !
A beauty to look at, particularly with a real back glass !!
A solid original theme with some unique and unusual toys - see jump rope - when playing has some hilarious call outs.
Unfortunately for me it's a bit of a one trick pony, and there are a few design flaws that let it down. Hey it's not a bad pin, but it's not a great pin either. Not sorry I owned one once.

Three or Four plays on this and you will probably really enjoy it....7 to 10 and it gets old fast. Best themed toys on a game to date...jump rope...punching bag....those are brilliant and take up little room on the playing surface...however the "fights" get old.
Fun for a spin or two but would be mad if this was the only pin on location somewhere.

Good game but the light show is a bit under whelming. I always put some coin in this game when one is available though.

Verry nice game with fabulus toys up right and up left. I like this variation come with this game. It's a must in the collection.

This pin has some of the best, if not the best, humor in any pin. It gets dirty, subtle and goes super well with the theme. From the boxer talking smack to the fly being swatted, it's pure awesome.
This may not be the best game to own in a home setting as it can get old fairly quickly, however there are a lot of pieces to this pin that need to be well maintained so a poorly routed one is absolutely no fun and not worth playing. It is probably worth being bought for the home setting, but just know a larger collection is best or knowing you won'[t have the game super long.
However, once you beat the final boxer you do get to bet on your fights and they are randomly hard, which becomes really thrilling and fairly tough to get to as well. So, the game doesn't simple start over once "beaten".

this is a pretty fun pin. overall it has the theme and layout that will draw most newcomers and veterans alike. scoring is challenging, considering you can wager your points at certain points in the game. this creates a tough scenario if someone has a breakout game. toys are some of the most innovative on any pin ever. this game is one that would be a staple im sure if there were more out there.

Wow, a truly original and exciting pin with an excellent theme fit for pubs/bars/drinking venues. The toys and gimmicks are outstanding, the speed bag and jump rope provide fun and a real challenge. The huge bash toy being the coup de grace, serving as both punching bag and your trash talking opponent.
A hilarious table gets better with each play, a perfect accompaniment to some friends and some cold beverages.
