I think MMA, and specifically the UFC, is a much safer bet right now. In boxing all fighters have to be licensed individually, making it difficult to put together a roster. Has Mayweather even made an appearance in any of the games? At the end of the day MMA is still on the rise while boxing currently has to be carrier by a handful of names.

EA UFC could have sold better, but it was a beginning console generation, and it did not score too well either. It was lacking in depth and modes. But its a game with a very solid foundation.

Switching to boxing won't really get them anywhere. It's not really a safe bet either. They have to make EA UFC a solid foundation first. I won't be surprised if they start exploring options once EA UFC 2 and the sales numbers are out though. The current install base for this gen is rapidly growing, and if the game still does not manage to do the numbers, they might partially switch their efforts towards boxing. Who knows.
