Promoter Eddie Hearn's hints at a boxing videogame

[SHAKYR]

I hope this means we will see something at E3 or in the near future in regards to a boxing videogame. Eddie Hearn's tweet has gotten the boxing and gaming worlds attention.

I can take that tweet a couple of ways, but I'm remaining optimistic that we hear something at E3 this year.

If he is actually 'on it', will this be a simulator like Football Manager?

If he's actually in on something, he can keep a simulator. We're trying to box out here, **** all that. Lol

There was a game producer trying to piggyback the post to put his game out there. I told him no one is going to invest in a stand alone boxing SIM game. If it was part of a career mode with player controlled fully functional graphics boxers yes.

I would never doubt Hearn.

Dude knows exactly what he is doing and one of the few in combat sports.

If you mean the team behind Boxing Promoter then people are willing to invest, its in beta now and will be coming out on iOS and Android very soon. The more boxing games the better I say.

i believe with that tremendous joshua-klitschko fight and the 80,000 plus at wembley in attendance, it might not be a bad idea to work on something for consoles but please make sure it is much better than don king's prizefighter a few years back. i would venture to say joshua is marketable enough to carry a new boxing title as well. it would sell in the UK, that's for sure.

The casual and UFC/MMA Fans would have people believe boxing is doing well in America but the pay per views and amateur boxing scene alone is doing great. America just doesn't dominate with titles.
We don't have a boxing game because EA is being stingy with their resources and other companies are sort of scared to put anything out that will compete with EA past efforts.

maybe 2k will step up to the plate....they have no football or baseball games, so why not? they need to think outside the box. come out with something different than EA had with FNC. a better career mode with golden gloves tournaments. maybe an olympic tournament mode too. or a licensed title using the rocky saga and creed.

Hmm.

If they can get a developer on board I'd be more excited.

But I fear the same issues with getting fighters to sign up will be an issue.

However, it would be awesome if a promoter backed video game might have a promoter/universe mode that I've been begging for in the UFC game for years.

Sign prospects, build up fights, generate revenue. The mode could potentially be the selling point of the game more so than the roster if you build around that.

I think an Eddie Hearn backed game could actually get a significant amount of boxers, especially if it can be factored into DAZN or Matchroom contracts. Maybe a Golden Boy DLC?

The issue is, I highly doubt any PBC or Top Rank fighters would be able to sign. But I'm willing to take that over a game with 30 legends and 20 current boxers like Fight Night Champion.
