If the option doesn't exist to purchase the game from anywhere other than resales then it should be considered for freeware availability. Hell, look at OOTP2, which is now available for free despite having several versions still being purchased on a daily basis. The free version of a three-year-old product could only help the sales of the new version soon to be released. Others will use it as a type of playable demo that will only wet their appetites for more and better of the series. Hence, they will in turn eventually fork out the money for the upgrade.
In regards to those that have purchased the game already and may not consider others getting the game for free now. Well, first of all you have had three years of enjoyment already and shouldn't compare your value to someone else’s. Secondly, now would be the time to list that puppy on ebay if you think that recouping some money would be the best thing to do. Otherwise, continue to enjoy what you have and consider yourselves lucky to have owned an excellent boxing sim for as long as you have.
Just my thoughts on the subject.
