I asked Andreas once about the logistics of building it from scratch and did a spit-take when he told me what it would cost. (Root beer stings when it goes up your nose).

I wonder what the rights would cost. If Syd could add just a couple little things on top of the existing code...

I have something called Boxing Manager on my phone, and it seems fairly good, but I don't like the idea of playing such a game on my phone. Everything is just too darned small for my 66 year old eyes.

If someone revived TBCB and added a couple features I would even pay full price for it. But no 3D graphics, please! I love the in-fight images as is.

Ah, one can always dream.

The Beterbiev fight made me fire up my old TBCB 2.5 fictional lightweight save. I ran a few cards and it was a lot of fun. My reigning Global Boxing Authority champion was almost defeated.

And reading some of the universe threads made me start looking for my old historical HW universe. It's on a CD somewhere. If I remember correctly, when I left off I was just about to run a championship bout with John L. Sullivan and somebody or other. My historical HW universe was "historical" except that there is no color line.
