tomtuck01 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Me too would be great. I personally wouldn't mind a cricket management game. I don't mind the Internatinal Cricket Captain series, but it's done by a really small company and I think a bit of a bigger company/publisher would make it even better than it is.

AcidBurn Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 UFC gets massive figures and make a fair bit of money but nowhere near the scale of boxing big events though. Boxing events generate like 10x more money for the big fights. I think the highest UFC have made from TV is £12 million and boxing is like £160+ million. Do you think the amount of boxers that can draw that much has gone significantly down over the last 10 years or so? Sorry for the all the questions I have just never spoke to someone within the boxing world before. About David Haye do you think he will get the fight he wants with Klitschko or is he demanding too much money like they claim? Although not a boxing game, World of Mixed Martial Arts 3 is an awesome MMA management game all text based which puts some people off as the matches are played out in a commentary style only but it is immensely addictive.

The heavyweight draw has gone down a lot but from Lightweight to Super Welterwight there are some big names who could possibly fight at any of those weights. The money is still there but a lot of fighters are still young so it needs someone to take the mantle and be the next big thing. It's still massive just not in as big in this country as the US. We opened a boxing academy in the US nearly 2 years ago now and you should see some of the people we get, there aged between 11-17 and some of them will be really good if nurtured properly. I don't think Haye is demanding too much, the Klitchko's only fight nobody's though and only ever fight on their own terms. They duck a lot of big fights so not sure if it'll go ahead or not.

tomtuck01 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Wuld love to see Haye vs. Vitali Klitschko. Thought he was as poor as I'd ever seen him against Chisora last week - maybe taken aback a bit with how Chisora came at him. And Haye, if he actually decided to go at him, would be able to beat him purely with his speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 so pretty much like early fm/cm? Pretty much, their match engine has the two fights and describes each highlight you can set it to run through the highlights or you can click next or you can skip to the bigger events within the match like submission attempts, knock downs etc. I love it I have played as the UFC from 1993 to 2016 and my game world is very very different to the real MMA world. The heavyweight draw has gone down a lot but from Lightweight to Super Welterwight there are some big names who could possibly fight at any of those weights.

After the press conference last week and the incidents with Haye and Chisora people were calling for boxing to be banned on the radio, how stupid are some people? The way I see it and I am not trying to argue with you, is after Hayes pathetic display last time he doesn't deserve a re-match, I have never felt so let down by a sporting event as his last match against Klitchko(apart from Sunderland losing to Newcastle 5-1). Then again Haye on paper would be better than Chisora but Chisora did far far better than Haye did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Haye, if he actually decided to go at him, would be able to beat him purely with his speed. Klitchko hates fighting anyone who goes at him he can't handle it. He likes to bully people to fight his style. If anyone wants to beat him just don't give into him and make him actually fight. If not he'll just tire you out with grabbing you and holding on. Haye was poor against Wlad and just didn't turn up, lost me a lot of money. If Haye turns up he'd beat them both but Vitali will be hard because he can take a punch and can dish power out himself and Haye as a weak chin. It would be a good match up to see if speed and power can over come just sheer brte strength of Vitali. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathxxx Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I always heard that popularity of boxing tends to depend on how good the heavyweight fights and fighters are. If so, I think that's a shame, as I've seen some fantastic fights in other weight divisions over the years. Much better bouts than some of the heavyweight fights. I always think it's a shame that other weight divisions don't always seem to attract as much attention as the heavyweights. Probably the first boxers name I remember as a kid, was Marvin Haggler.

Probably the first boxers name I remember as a kid, was Marvin Haggler. Well the heavyweigh division used to be the main attraction as it used to have the biggest names and was like a tradition. But ever since Mike Tyson there asn't really been a stand out heavyweight apart from Evander. Even Lennox Lewis only had his moment due to decline in the heavyweight division. He was in the right place at the right time from a career point. Although nowdays it's all about the Welterweights. It's fast, technical and nowdays powerful. It's a great division to follow especially with all the big names around that weight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would your money be on?After watching Manny's last few fights I think Mayweather would beat him. Manny is good especially in the last 6 years or so he's got a lot better fighter with age. But Mayweather has the best defensive out of anybody that's ever lived imo. As good as Manny is Mayweather is different class. The speed and accuracy that Mayweather can counter punch is second to none. It'll happen but when Mayweather decides. He has to fight him to go down in history as the best if not people will always be 'what if' and Mayweather hates things like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Haye the showman can rub people up the wrong way but that's all a front and a way of him selling tickets and getting people to take notice. And it worked because everyone now knows who he is whether he is liked or hated. Kell Brook says he will fight Khan this year. I so hope this is true as Kell Brook is amazing and would knock Khan out guaranteed. Brook hits like a truck and is fast and very accurate.

I was never a fan of Khan really and since the whole farce with his last match I think he lost all credibility. He lost the fight fair and square and was his own fault. The ref told him several times and he kept ignoring him. Even without the deduction he'd have lost imo. Khan is overrated and has too many weaknesses and to think he can beat Mayweather means he's already punch drunk at such a young age Brook vs Khan would be good for British boxing.

Nottingham Forest Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I've edited my post. I don't sleep as much as I used to due to working more hours. It's not a problem like, you get used to it. I just hate feeling tired. Although the tiredness never sets in until I've finished work, at home and I'm not active. I just crash basically and that's when the tiredness kicks in. I did it before on New Years Day Night. I did a night shift at work, only had 8 hours sleep the day before waking up at 10am on New Years Day. Tried sleeping in the day but couldn't so ended up drinking loads of coffee. I was supposed to finish at 7, started at 10 NYD Night but got asked to stay until 8. For the last hour and a half I was running on empty but still worked fairly quickly. I wasn't planning on going to sleep when I got in and was going to try and fight it. I ended up going to sleep at about half 9, so nearly 24 hours without sleep and working a 10 hour shift. I always crash after work, it does my head in but I don't really want to be active all day unless I could find something interesting that will keep me active.
