Because Warrior Madness Thor, while powerful, doesn't have the inexhaustible power supply he would have with the Power Gem, and Superman has various other advantages against a rampaging Thor. Also because that's the 1st match and Superman will be at 100%. It's the subsequent matches where attrition starts to come into play.

What? Why does he need and "inexhaustible power supply" in the first place? This is Thor on steroids. Regular Thor would be enough for Superman. Forget the power boost, the fact that he wouldn't be holding back anything would be HIGHLY
problematic.

Having the power gem makes it harder for a likely depleted Superman in Round 3 to defeat WM Thor a second time because this time around Thor is amped exponentially while Superman's already been through two battles without rest. Due to that, IMO, it's highly unlikely Superman would get past this round given the stips, and if he did, there'd be barely anything left for the Runner to fight in Round 4.
I'm not saying the Power Gem is a necessity for Thor to win, it just follows logically that if Superman beats a standard WM Thor in Round 1 (which IMO he would), that would take a lot out of Superman, if he then fought another battle afterwards without recovering against the Collector, which would take even more out of Superman, and then, if he beats Collector, he fought WM Thor again, but this time WM Thor was even more powerful via the Power Gem while Superman was weaker, the likelihood of Superman winning a second time drops significantly. Likely to zero chance.

This..although i think collector stands a good chance
