Just thought on why Mayweather is not in FNC (in support to Brizzo and the roster)

Maybe it isnt Brizzo's fault but maybe it is EA's..

What happened after knock Out Kings 2003?

Did PBF refuse to renew his contract or did EA?

I think fans are pissed because Floyd was there and he isnt anymore...Somebody dropped the ball somewhere...

PBF was in 5 of EA's boxing games, other than ALI (and maybe Pac and a few other relevant boxers) I dont think there was a boxer that been in that many games.

Something happen when EA came out with FN 2004...

He was in Fight Night Round 2. Something happened when Round 3 came out and he wasn't in it.

Absolutely. But I think some are getting tired of hearing it's EA's fault as to why Floyd's not in the game.
Like Phobia, some of us here are just trying to set the record straight and make sure they know EA did what they could to get him in the game.

Floyd is going to do what he feels in his best interest. Maybe Floyd is ducking the cyber Manny but in reality he has a clear marketing strategy as being the bad guy. He is the best " bad guy" since Duran or even the 60's drafting dodging Ali.

I think EA should make Floyd a DLC. He could get a percentage of the DLC and his inclusion in the game wouldn't impact the bottom line of the game.

Funny the amount of people who hate Floyd but still want him in the game.

Floyd may do what he thinks is in his best interest, but unfortunately, things go awry when left to his own devices.

I hate the Yankees, but still want them in the Show. If you want a Sports simulation, you need to have as many boxers as possible, attitudes towards the boxers aside.

That Yankee analogy doesnt work at all. You can have a true boxing simulation without having a licensed PBF in the game (especially since he can be created). You cant have a true MLB sim without the Yankees.

I think Mayweather should do a DLC. Should include a gym that could maximize defense, counter punching, and PED testing and of course PDF would be included in the DLC. The DLC would include several different PBF at different weight classes.

PBF and Bizzo could do some viral youtube clips arguing over the content. The PBF would donate the proceeds to his favorite charity...himself.

Floyd's a verified A$$hole, but I doubt that EA made an offer that impressed him. I mean the guy has made millions in the ring and I seriously doubt that EA offered him more than $250,000 to appear in FNC. By contrast a retired, tainted OJ Simpson was paid $125,000 by 2K Sports for rights to his image/name in All-Pro Football 2K8.

An argument could be made that his appearance in the game would enhance his marketability, but how much bigger could he be? Along with PacMan they are the two most popular and polarizing figures in the sport. I see no reason to give away my image or "brand" for peanuts.
