The Fukin Prophecy
RIP Champ
Bruh I'm looking at this from both a fan and business perspective, I work in finance...Youre discounting a huge segment of boxing fans or casuals who would want to play as their favorite boxer. I see your point, but going from 85 to 30 boxers would see a huge segement riot. You got the Charlos, Errol Spence and Deontay Wilder, among others that possibly wouldnt be included.
To company a game like you mentioned would be a huge risk, but lets just agree to disagree. I’m looking at it from a company investment perspective.
Demand drives sales and there is huge demand for another boxing game...Most of the fans demanding this boxing game are willing to settle for less licensed boxers in exchange for a more fleshed out creation kit because we recognize how difficult it is to sign boxers...If the choice is between less licensed boxers or no boxing game, we'll gladly settle for less licensed boxers...
That said there is no reason why EA can't sign the Charlos, Spence and Deontay...None of those dudes gon give you a hard time because they are all still grinding, none of them selling out arenas and doing PPV numbers...These games offer more exposure to casuals which in return will generate bigger pay days for them...Al Haymon knows that better than anybody hence why PBC fights are on network television...Thurman vs Garcia was on NBC...
It's the Mayweather type that already got his PPV bag who is a pain to sign to a deal...
The casual is going to want his Mayweather, not having him signed will effect sales no doubt about that...Look at the WWE games though, they leave out plenty of wrestlers that dedicated communities create with the tools 2K provides...That's how you hedge your bet...If the gameplay is on point all it takes is a youtube video with a CAB that remotely looks like Floyd and you got that casual onboard...
