Muhammad Ali and Cannibal Rapist cover Fight Night Round 4
helava says,
I know a couple people who are really psyched for more Fight Night, but two things prevent me from being interested:
1.) EA Chicago, the original developers, have been shut down. EA Canada will do a decent job, I'm sure, but knowing it's not the original developers just makes me a little leery.
2.) Mike Tyson's involvement. I realize that a lot of people don't care, but the fact that he's a.) a convicted rapist, and b.) bit a guy's ear off make me really unwilling to purchase things that he's going to make money off of.
Article excerpt from joystiq.com —
"There will be plenty of butterfly floating and bee stinging in the ring this summer, as EA announced that Muhammad Ali will be one of two cover athletes for Fight Night Round 4. The Boxing legend will share the space with powerhouse and controversy magnet Mike Tyson...."

Initially, I didn't care about Mike Tyson being on the cover, but you make a good point; I don't want him to profit off this.
I'm still on the fence though about a Mike Tyson's Punch Out for the Wii with Mike Tyson (Punch Out just doesn't sell me)

So you are pissed off ab out a guy who paid his debt to society? Nice to see how hypocrisy works since you are perfect and never did anything in your life that was wrong.

I certainly never raped anyone or bit their ear off. There's a difference between "paying your debt to the society" and "being a celebrity."
Tyson should be freed, but he certainly shouldn't be used to promote stuff, and make the money that goes along with that.

So anyone who has been in prison should be destitute for the rest of their lives?

Seriously? Is there no middle ground between being able to license your likeness and being a celebrity and being "destitute"?
No, he shouldn't be forced to be destitute, but EA should have had better judgment than to put a convicted rapist and ear-biting cannibal on the cover of their game.

Yea you are right why should they put the most dominate boxer ever on the most dominate boxing game ever. So I take it you won't be giving EA any of your money ever again then?
But putting Ali on the cover is ok? A man who supported racist acts and various violent acts towrds people cause of their color. and a man who refused to fight for his county Ali was sentenced to five years in prison and his championship title revoked after he was convicted of draft evasion upon his refusal to serve with the American army in Vietnam but he didn't rape any one person he raped the american people. He deserves to be on the cover.
If you are going to hate on 1 guy hate on them both be consistant. Don't act likr Ali was a saint and Tyson was an animal.

I never said Ali was a saint. But Tyson *was* an animal. The guy bit another guy's ear off. He raped a woman. That's different than conscientiously objecting to a war and serving time rather than going to fight. Seems pretty obviously different.

Do you think raping one woman is worse than disgracing your country?
I'm not trying to start anything with you I am jsut discussing this, don't get pissed.
Let's just agree to disagree.
I don't care who profits from this game I'm buying it Tyson Ali Hitler I don't care, this game is mine.
