2K Coming Back To Boxing? Floyd Mayweather Boxing Game, Should EA Be Worried HHGS 9/18/11

P.S to those who don't know, Visual Concepts didn't make Prizefighter. 2K used Venom Games Inc. (Rocky Games series)

2k back to makin a boxing game sounds like a brilliant idea to completely wash easports out of the map.

If they're as serious about boxing as they are about NBA2K, I'm excited and EA better be worried. We all know they've nearly put EA out of business with the NBA. I wish the NFL would drop the exclusive deal with Madden because it's sucked ever since NFL2K went out of business.

People bring up NBA2k reason why a NFL2k game would be so awesome. But keep in mind that perhaps NBA2k is so good because no resources are being devoted to an NFL game during development. But maybe a boxing game would work since it would be on a bi-yearly sched.

I'm lazy and don't feel like confirming his claims regarding early information about Tekken-Street Fighter. Is that true?
If so, perhaps the guy does have a few sources here or there.

Still, for all we know, this is 100% bull. Or perhaps it's only at the planning stages without one line of code being written.

I'm not getting my hopes up and will take this information for what it is.

But if this were to become reality, some of the things he speaks about are really cool.
Having your own 24/7 show, dynamic and organic commentary, HBO, etc.

Seeing how deep and involved NBA's My Player is, you can see what they could do for boxing.

But they'd have to get Mayweather's name on the game. No question. I don't think there's room for 2 boxing gams, so you need a big name to promote your game.
Everyone, even non-boxing fans, know Mayweather.
That's the right thing for 2K to do if they're going to produce another boxing game.

Hopefully, if this is true, we'll get more details about this further down the road.

this guy is ok . He has connections in the gaming industry. I have been bugging him to ask 2K for nearly a year about a boxing game.

2k basketball always been good tho, only had what 2 bad games?

BTW if this is true then we pretty much know why the asking price for PBF in FNC was "unrealistic"

Re: 2k and Mayweather Jr., should EA be worried? Visual Concept will be at the reigns

Surprised that 2K could afford Mayweather.

Surprised that 2K could afford Mayweather.

Take-Two has a boatload of cash though.
They own the GTA, Red Dead, Bioshock and several other high quality IP's.

If they want to make a run on boxing, they have more than enough $$$ to help fun 2K with the project.

That's why I'm skeptical. I doubt there's that much money in boxing.
But, I believe EA signs all their fighters to 1-year contracts. So I suppose there's some legitimacy to the idea of 2K getting the rights to several of the fighters seen in FNC.
Besides, perhaps some of these legends and current boxers might not agree to exclusivity of they know another company wants their rights.

Time will tell I suppose. I'll be interested to hear more news.

according to a source floyd supposedly wanted to be on the cover of fnc if he was to be featured in that game but ea refused, so it wasnt approved and he wasnt included. then reports about him allegedly asking an "unrealistic" price float around the web. maybe pbf just wants to have his own exclusive boxing game where he is the cover, and now he got it dealt with 2k...

Knowing Floyd.I doubt he would be on a game without being the cover boy
