I think Grant told me once Flod demanded too much money and also asked for his own game similar to Tiger Woods game.

Surprise surprise they left out Sergio Martinez Evil or Very Mad

Is anyone else getting a bit bored of all the legends, I love Frazier and Foreman but it's time they made way for the current generation.

They should have Big George and the prime Foreman; that'd be cool.

You got to have the legends. That goes for any game. You think new NBA game be selling like it is if didn't have Jordon finaly in it, and other NBA legends.

The game was already finished by the time Martinez did his thing this year beating Pavlik and Williams. You can gurantee he'll be added on in the updates.

Arturo Gatti couldn't make Fight Night Champion. It's not because he's dead - so's Sugar Ray Robinson, and he's in the game. It's just that negotiating likeness agreements with boxers is head-bangingly more frustrating than in any other sports game.

Answering whining customer complaints about the omission of some fighters - most of them known only to boxing cognoscenti - Fight Night producer Bryan Hayes took to the EA Sports forums yesterday with a candid explanation. Gatti is the biggest name not on the list, but as Hayes explains, he "died under very suspicious circumstances.

"Sorry that we weren't able to re-do that contract in the wake of that. We would have signed him for an extra 2 years way back if we had known he was going to die," Hayes said, adding an eye-rolling smiley for effect.

Of the rest, granted Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera aren't no-names. But Hayes was struck by how many boxers behaved as if they were - that is, didn't know the value of their brand. Or overestimated the value and insisted on ridiculous contract terms. Others just didn't pick up the phone. (Technically, Gatti couldn't either.)

"All of the boxers that we lost were contacted, some of them several times by myself personally," Hayes wrote. "I'm not kidding when I say this, sometimes we just don't hear back. Even from people we worked with previously. I personally had communications with one boxer - and his three different managers - over the course of 6 months."

Hayes added that "it's not like boxing is chock-full of stand-up guys accustomed to a strict code of business ethics - nor is it populated by an abundance of athletes with a realistic perception of their brand value and/or mainstream appeal."

That said, "Some guys are absolutely great. Very professional and very helpful."
