want feedback from classic posters

Depending on the card, I'd pay anywhere from $40.00 to $75.00

 

Interesting and flat out fun concept. Who would your boxing brain trusts be to figure out the winners and variables in the match-ups. I'll write a script or two for ya! What you willing to pay? haha.
Addendum: Your Heavyweight match-ups would be teh top drawers IMO. Murray Woroner had it right.

 

Nothing, myself. It would be like watching Jurassic Park. It is not real.

 

Fun idea JG. Best of luck!

 

I would with these conditions:

1. The effects better exceed those in "The Incredible Hulk". I think that video boxing games that depict real fighters still stink. And they'd stink to anyone who knows the real fighters like the back of their hands.

2. Historians and old heads must be on the payroll to ensure accuracy of personality, style, cornermen, physique, etc.

3. No goofy Hollywood style one-liners. Again, if entertainment agents have influence on what is scripted, then flush it. They'd ruin it completely.

4. JG, Stonehands and a few more hand-picked CLASSIC posters reserve the right to review these with "red pen power" to ensure accuracy and good sense.

Haha.

5. Oh, I'd ice the idea of John L. offering predictions on Graziano. That would make it look like something out of Twilight Zone. It should be as realistic as possible even given the circumstances and hokiness must be avoided at all costs.

I'd pay up to $100 if done right.

 

Thank you very much for the compliment. I'll do that. I've still got your e-mail I believe.

 

In the end, its still a computer making the choices.

 

I agree here...except for the $100 (cough). Realism would do it for me...Hokiness is out.
Make it something rich with the personalities of the fighters involved and interwoven with the fight. You've got a literal TON of great storylines to work with from history. Facinating personal storylines like how Robinson never really liked to fight, Dempsey describing how the hobo jungles made him a vicious fighter, Frazier's "Philadelphia" determination, on and on....There are no personalities in sports that compare with the fight crowd. Work that angle IMO.

 

I might fork over 5-10 dollars, like for any other movie. If we were talking really realistic CGI style stuff that made it look so that one could almost think he was actually watching a real boxing match, maybe up to $15. I never buy Pay-Per-Views, either; I feel like I'm almost throwing money down the toilet when I pay noticeable sums for items of purely aesthetic value.

 

Depends on whether my picks win or not.
