Boxing isn't dead EASPORTS !

[Boxers and Boxing community need to support another boxing game]

Some say boxing is dead and some of these game producers(EA) are contributing to the hype because their lack of passion and knowledge of boxing translate into the product(Fight Night). Boxing is still making money and has million of fans worldwide. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the highest paid athlete two years in a row.
EA needs to stop blaming the sport of boxing and give the fans what they want and not what they think they need. Fans want the game to be similar to what they see on TV or a live match. The fans want a deep game with depth in various areas like the customization, controls, career, features, and things that apply to the sport in general.

If boxing was dead why are sites like these flooded with fans and posts everyday.

BoxRec: Total members 42649

East Side Boxing: Total Members 30,969

BoxingScene : Total Members 162273

SaddoBoxing: Total Members 21,697

MaxBoxing: Total Members 19,439

And a large number of other boxing sites exist.

If boxing is dead how can a text-sim site exist after years without a new game? They just produced another game under new creators( P.I.S.D. Ltd.) only because the original game owner(Andreas Raht) kept getting side tracked with other priority projects and the demand for another game was high.... For a Text-Sim game?!? Yes, a text-sim! Imagine if the game was fleshed out with graphics and a more hands on approach.

I started a Title Bout Champion Boxing Twitter that I just relinquished to the new owners/creators because the guy in charge of PR couldn't believe how many followers I had.
The point I'm trying to make is that a game that has realism and depth of a sim, but no graphics like console videogame(Fight Night) has a following.
So, why can't a company like EA take a chance and give fans the realism and depth of a Text-Sim. The Champion Mode in Fight Night Champion was a waste of resources, money and turned the hardcore and some casual boxing fans off.
Fight Night can be a major seller if the producers stop trying to be so casual friendly...No, too casual friendly and ignore the overall mechanics of boxing. If boxing is dead let the fans have overall control and freedom to create the boxing universe they want in a game.
