I don't have anything to add to the debate about whether a new game would be popular. I'm just disappointed because for me, there was always a boxing game. I go back to ...Atari so I realize those were different times. I remember boxing games without any actual boxers. Audiences are much more sophisticated now & the demands are greater. Games weren't as expensive to make then either.

Boxing has had a decent year but it's not mainstream here in the US anymore. Combat sports in general are more frowned upon I think with all the discussion about brain injuries in other sports. I hope it does make some sort of comeback. There was a time when I actually turned over during the Super Bowl to watch an ESPN fight. I remember going to school & everyone talking about the upcoming Leonard / Hagler fight or about Tyson. I had a boxing game on every console I played. It's a downer that there aren't any on the horizon.
