I mean, when I look in my wallet, I'd rather see a little money than no money. Straightforward...right?
Totally agree.
But we can't assume EA isn't pumping the promoters to sign on.
The promoters still need to come to agreements with each fighter individually too. And we're probably talking chump change compared to what top fighters are used to making.
So at the end of the day, the fighters still don't wanna sell out for the amount offered, and EA can't afford to invest more. All we can do as consumers is keeping buying the damn games so EA knows it'll be worthwhile.
But the more games we buy, the more they'll think we buy whatever shat they spew out regardless of who they sign on.
Catch-22.

I just wish the fighters realized how great the promotion is getting their name in games.
I mean, I used to think Mike Anchondo was the second coming of Christ when I first heard of him and saw his attribute stats in a Fight Night game.
