In the final sim we conducted with ESPN last week, we matched-up Manny Pacquiao against his May 7th opponent, Shane Mosley, in what's sure to be the fight of the year for Pacquiao's WBO Welterweight Championship. Both fighters love a good fight and don't expect to see either running from an opportunity to exchange punches in the middle of the ring.

But starting with bare-knuckle brawls and some of the legendary fighters from the early 20th century and continuing on through to modern fighters and the way they looked at earlier points in their careers, you’ve been given an opportunity re-create some iconic fights and experience some pivotal moments in the sport.

Fight Night Champion Art Blog
Posted by Ben Ross at 07:36PM on Friday, January, 21, 2011

My name is Ben Ross and I have been at EAC for almost 8 years. Most recently, I have been working as a Lead Character Artist on the Fight Night franchise, which as far as character art goes, is a dream come true. It has been great to work on a project where the expectations both internally and externally are to raise and set a new bar on character visuals each year. That being said, with all the detail we can add comes great scrutiny, so we take both the accolades and criticism to heart and use both to benchmark how to make our products even better. Today, I will touch on 3 main categories of interest in regards to Characters in Fight Night Champion.

Exclusive Interview with EA: Fight Night Champion
Posted by Alain Quinto at 01:37PM on Wednesday, December, 08, 2010
![XboxExclusive.jpg]()
We recently had the opportunity to work with the development team for Fight Night on an exclusive interview, and we are glad to share this with you.
These were answered by Jeff Atienza, the lead producer on Fight Night Champion.
XboxExclusive.com: Why have you decided to up the level brutality and level of violence?
Jeff Atienza: I wouldn’t say we are upping the level of brutality or violence in Fight Night Champion, I would say that we are making the overall visual presentation of our boxers and the damage they incur in our game to be more realistic and authentic to the sport. If you happened to catch the Pacquiao/Margarito fight a few weeks ago you will know what I mean. This year we will be pushing the realistic damage that occurs on a boxers face and body, and how that damage comes to paint the ring mat.

Who's next after Pacman retires from boxing?
Posted by Alain Quinto at 07:47PM on Friday, December, 03, 2010
![fnc_manny.jpg]()
Tonight Manny Pacquiao fights Tony Margarito for the vacant WBC Super Welterweight Championship in Dallas, TX where he last beat Joshua Clottey a few months back. As a Pacman supporter, I’m firmly behind my fellow countryman in his quest for an 8th division title and should be the better of the two combatants in Texas Stadium.

Only one man currently in professional sports can cause an entire country to come to a halt. That same man will halt Fight Night Champion’s Gameplay tuning and bug fixing for the night - That man is Manny Pacquiao!!
Dallas Cowboy Stadium hasn’t had much excitement these days but this Saturday will be an entirely different story. One of boxing’s (and sport’s) biggest icons steps back into the ring for what looks to be one of his toughest challenges yet.

If the scandal of the Fight Night Champion “hidden ref” picture and the wave of discussion that followed afterwards were any indication, I’d say boxing is alive and well in the hearts of many.
That passion for boxing rings true throughout the hallowed Fight Night Halls of EA Canada, and it was within these halls that six men would enter intending to speak and echo the powerful voice of the Fight Night Community. And with halls that big, that mighty voice rangith’...
