‘Fight Night’ is without a shadow of a doubt the best selling, highest quality, most consistent boxing video game franchise of all time. With 5 entries spanning across a 7 year window, tens of millions of copies sold, and an ever-growing roster of top caliber superstar athletes on the scene, there’s only one question on everyone’s mind… What the hell happened to Fight Night? Where did it go? Did EA Sports cancel Fight Night? If not, what’s the story?!
Well, that’s what I’m here for today. I’ll tell you exactly what happened, why it happened, and we’ll even delve into the future of the franchise. Boxing is in an exponentially better place in late 2021 that it was in 2011, when Fight Night Champion released, so the scene is set. All we need is for someone to sit down and direct the next masterpiece. Let’s get to it.

Don't miss this week's episode of Let's Play Friday! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4zbs5N6kL8
Fight night 4 definitely better than Champion imo. They are all great, I still love playing Fight Night 2 on the PS2 emulator.
You can actually still play Fight Night Champion on Xbox ONE and Xbox Series X as it's one of two Fight Night games (the other being Fight Night Round 4) that is backward compatible and Fight Night Champion still has online play. Sorry for you Playstation guys, but it looks like EA Sports is only allowing us Microsoft guys to keep playing Fight Night 4 and Fight Night Champion. I wish the SONY had backward compatibility as it did from the PS2 and PS3 era.
Fight Night round 3! HELL YES!🔥🔥🔥🔥I just re-bought the game. Transferred my old ass save and I'm ready to go!🥊
I am so ready for a new Fight Night, UFC SUCKS.😣
Not a boxing fan at all and Fight Night is incredible
Have loved your videos over the years and only learnt recently about you boxing focused videos. Great stuff! Curious if you ended up trying out Undisputed (ESBC) now that it's in Early Access? Game has some promising features in my opinion but is not quite there yet.
I'm a fighting game fan and I remember playing Fight night round 2 on the PS2 that was fun I wonder whatever happened to that series because I don't understand how EA did not make any more after 4 The series seemed popular to me it was fun to learn the mechanics of the game and how everything worked
This why it's best to have an Xbox fnc is backwards compatible on xbox
Hopefully the warping of upper cuts when they should miss will be lessened or outright gone. I've simulated and replayed the Fight Night games a lot. It's a blink and you miss it but the gloves warp for a second when a fighter is hurt, especially in later rounds. I had a host of videos on the subject but was forced into taking them down.
Champion wasn't just a great game that sold well, it was a great product that had a compelling story to boot. Fight Night getting the plug pulled will always look odd, even knowing why it happened. Even as someone who isn't a hardcore Boxing fan or just a Fight Night fan, I was well aware of the series and it's strong presence, so knowing it's been absent for over a decade is a head-scratcher.
Though I'm not sure how well I can scratch with a boxing glove, but I can try.
I love both the ufc and fight night series
But I want to point out something, Floyd Mayweather Jr did in fact in fight night series specifically fight night round 2 (his only boxing video game appearance and only ea boxing game appearance).
The first Boxing game I ever played was Knockout Kings 2000 PS1. Knockout Kings became Fight Night
I also love Fight Night Round 2 on GameCube
The sport is dead. Outside of floyd Mayweather and manny Pacquiao most know anyone else and they are old ass fighters. Boxing is dead. Sadly.
That creepy smackdown music playing in the background though.
EA should alternate development between Fight Night and Ufc every other year or 2.
What a shame …a great series went to the garbage 🗑️… damn
"Blitz is another story." Yes… yes it is🥰
Fight night round 4 was one of the most polished boxing games created. You can win and boxing match, brawl etc. The roster was pretty solid as well.
ive kept my ps3 just for that game , i still.play at least once a month , its so fun to beat a heavyweitgh with a middleweitgh so hard too , they really need to do another one or at least remastered it for the new gen console
It’s also confirmed ESBC will be coming out in 2022
You can play fight night champion on the Xbox series x
ESBC is gonna come out and scratch that itch we've all been begging EA to help with and by that time EA will have too much catching up to do to be bothered with another Fight Night and they'll just double down on MMA.
