Speaking with IGN, EA Sports boss Peter Moore said he ”sadly feels like” boxing is now the past while mixed martial arts is taking over the spotlight.
Moore commented EA are keeping a ”very close eye” on the situation, but despite his boxing reservations they’re ”incredibly excited” about the new Fight Night. EA bored in the ring?
”We keep a very close eye on where things like Mixed Martial Arts are going,” Moore told a nosey IGN at EA Sports’ Season Opener.
”Obviously we’ve got Fight Night – we’re incredibly excited about Fight Night – but boxing, for me, sadly feels like it’s the past of fighting and Mixed Martial Arts feels like it’s the future of fighting. So when we look at where people’s attention is going, that’s something we keep a very close eye on.”
THQ currently holds the UFC license but with money trouble still on CEO Brain Farrell’s mind, could EA make a seductive bid for it?
