Manny Pacquiao will win his highly anticipated November 14th bout against Miguel Cotto with a convincing unanimous decision, according to the official EA SPORTS simulation conducted using Fight Night Round 4. Now available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Fight Night Round 4 is the latest entry in the critically acclaimed boxing series from Electronic Arts Inc.
Fighters Inc., a licensing organization representing boxers, filed suit against Electronic Arts in early September this year, claiming that EA illegitimately used fighters' likenesses in the summer video game Fight Night Round 4.
Electronic Arts has announced that its first downloadable boxer pack for Fight Night Round 4 is now available on the PLAYSTATION Network and Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Featuring Oscar De La Hoya, Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko, and alternate versions of George Foreman and James Toney, the downloadable boxer pack retails for 400 Microsoft points and $4.99 on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the PLAYSTATION Network, respectively.

Fight Night Round 4 fans, a new update from the team today about the upcoming Champions Pack. The pack will contain 5 boxers: Oscar De La Hoya, the Klitchko brothers, along with new versions of George Foreman and James Toney. Initially, the cost of the pack was to be 800 MS points / $9.99 but after further review taking into account community reaction, the cost has been reduced to 480 MS points / $5.99. The Champions Pack will be made available for XBL Gold gamers on Aug 20th while XBL Silver and PSN gamers will see the pack on Aug 27th.
EA Sports is expanding the roster of Fight Night Round 4-and its coffers-by offering a new quintet of boxers as downloadable content for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Naturally, that's gonna cost you.
Like pwnordie.com, you may be wondering how the 'Golden Boy' Oscar De La Hoya made it onto the cover of Fight Night Round 3, appeared in commercials for Fight Night Round 4, yet was not in gameplay for the latter.
Those that downloaded Fight Night Round 4 DLC Pack 1 should delete the old file and download the new DLC starting next week.
TVGB: "With a current Metacritic average of 87 (360) and 88 (PS3), Fight Night Round 4 is a critical success. In fact, "It is our highest rated title so far this year," Eric Brown, EA's Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President mentioned during the company's Q1 earnings call yesterday. And those positive reviews have translated into sales as the latest iteration in the boxing franchise has sold over 1.7 million copies since its June launch."
