This might be be a dumb post or might have been brought up but if this game has been in developement for a long time... maybe that is the reason mayweather, and countless other fighters have disappeared from the fight night roster. Maybe 2k snuck in and convinced them to sign on to thier game instead of signing on to do another fight night. I just can't see Mayweathers egotisical self not being involved in a boxing title if one was available. I don't buy that stuff about pulling himself from the game because he couldn't be the cover athlete.

Don King licensed fighters. I hear Floyd got his OWN game coming out. It should be interesting because I read Pavlic was gon be in the new boxing game when it first got leaked they were making a new game but he is a bob arum fighter.

I think they gonna have a whole lot of fighters... but who the hell gave Mayweather his own game? thats gonna suck, i'm sure. But this need to stay on the other boards posts before people start trippin about multiple topic posts.

i believe there can be a roster of fictional fighters here. . we dont need real fighters to make this game a success. ea has the real fighters and there last effort was ok. but a game developer can make a great indepth boxing game without real fighters. it is the gameplay and presntation that can and will make the game a success. REAL SIMULATION BOXING CAN BE DONE!! and EA aint doing it.

I read on Maxboxing.com that Kelly Pavlik had signed an agreement with 2ksports.....Pavlik is a Top Rank fighter (Arum)....which means that it wont just be Don King fighters......Why wouldnt a promoter want his fighter in a video game....also...I dont think that promoters have rights on a fighter when it comes to their endorsments.....That cut would go to a buisness manager/agent.......Promoters promote fights and thats where their cash comes in........Pavlik is for sure in the game......also read an article that said Jermaine Taylor was in the game and was being considered as a possible Cover Boy...................I havent heard anything about Mayweather getting his own boxing game.................
I think that there hasnt been a Fight Night in two plus years because of some of the roster issues.......2k has probably been signing some guys up for some time.........plus I really dont care........just want a good sim and great career mode.
