Where are all the boxers?

[JokerShots]

So many boxers missing and I do see new boxers being entered little by little but they are normally super old. Where is Cotto, Pacquiao, Mayweather the list can go on. Or even the more current fighters light Serrano is missing just wondering what is going into which fighters they decide to release.

[Arachnoides]

Don't forget Batman.

[Keldan]

and Superwoman

[Captain l'Olonnais]

And Rocky Balboa

[🅹🅵🅽🆂]

This is a UK-based boxing game. Alot of the poeple mentioned are popular favs of American boxing fans. While we'd love to see em in the game, I don't think Steel feels the same way.

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are huge names so odds are Steel City cant afford them. They probably forgot about Cotto or he just overestimated his worth.

[Jimmy Felon]

Pacquiao and especially Mayweather are certainly far too expensive to license for this small company. Mayweather hasn't even been in the EA games, and I'm sure they offered him a lot of money for it. But he's a prick and probably demanded $100m or some ♥♥♥♥.

Is it greed then? Why do we have Ali but not George Foreman. I take back what I said earlier it really doesnt make sense.

I'd imagine Canelo was the most expensive at the time of signing everyone. I doubt even Ali would be near his licensing fee. Granted, I have no idea how these things actually work, it does seem odd overall with the fighters. It's a very massive list and does have some huge names, it's just that a lot of fighters are missing that I would say would be near mandatory to try to get into the game. Names like Cotto, Oscar, Mosley, Lewis, Klitschko brothers, trinidad, julian jackson, foreman, bernard hopkins, winky wright, james toney, to name a few.

Again, they have a lot of boxers to their credit but a lot of staple international names are missing. Perhaps if the fighters get a fee on the front end then I could see funding being a huge factor but less so if it's on the back end. Even though SCI definitely biases the fighters skill in the game to UK fighters overall, I don't think they aren't adding American fighters because they don't care to. I do think that if fighters didn't actively pursue the studio for inclusion they got to a point they didn't reach out. A few fighters I did speak with wanted to be in the game and mentioned in discord but there wasn't anyone that would reach out to them. Recently Varus has stated that they are not looking to sign new fighters at this point so the roster is likely finalized which for all intents and purposes is OK with me. I just wish the fighters they included actually felt more like the actual fighters individually and weren't so generic.

With Ali and other deceased boxers, I'm not sure who they contact for licensing, I'd guess whoever took over his estate, probably his kids. In which case, greed is probably not as much of a factor compared to getting to witness him recreated and honored in this way.

With Mayweather I can say with 100% certainty that he's an extremely greedy and selfish individual, and generally a POS imo (see his daughter's police witness statement describing him beating the ♥♥♥♥ out of her mom right in front of her), who demands an astronomical fee for something like this. The only other possibility is that his ego is so massive that he doesn't want to be in a video game because that means someone could KO him.

Foreman, who is exceptionally rich as far as former boxers go due to his other business ventures ($300m net worth), probably also requests a substantial fee.

They have all the fighters they plan to include in the game eventually on the website here: https://playundisputed.com/news/full-roster

It's a discussion forum. If you can't handle reading 150 words go find yourself a nice picture book for children.

Take your meds. I wasn’t even acknowledging your posts because they provide nothing. Ever.
