### 3/5 — In Game Purchases/Packages VS Paying for Subscription

*2026-08-02*

1 off packages and subscriptions would be better. 

The game is cool but it’s not enough activity in it to subscribe yet. The new update is nice and I’d like to try/purchase but I don’t necessarily want to subscribe to a service, I just want to play the game.

I just don’t find paying the subscription necessarily worth it yet. I enjoy it as of now though and fan of the new HUD

### 4/5 — Great Game!

*2026-06-20*

The only complaint I have is that Undisputed and going up Weight Classes doesn’t have as much upside as it does in real life on the game. Would like to see fighters get more points and fans when they do that. I don’t know how much work this would be but I’d like to see records like undefeated streaks, KO percentage, youngest champion. Lastly, I think it’ll be cool if prospects can go pro at 17 like some do in real life.

### 4/5 — Please fix the main event money!

*2026-06-07*

Don’t know if it’s been done on purpose to drive in app purchases but the main events are no longer profitable at all, completely defeats the purpose of the promotion side of the game and makes it way less enjoyable. Other than that it’s a great game.

### 4/5 — Needs a lil fixing

*2026-05-26*

So let me start off by saying I completely love this game, played BM before ringside. Just an overall good game. Two problems though, one is my straw weights can’t fight, everytime I create a new fighter they can’t fight. And the second my best fighter is complete and is 20 on all boards. I don’t understand why he comes so close to losing to people way worse than him, I get ppl closer in stats but still shouldn’t be close. I don’t like how he can be 20 on all boards and he’s not as best as I would think. Other than that I think the game is good

### 1/5 — Add the xp glitch back

*2026-03-23, version 26.0.8*

Fun game but the xp
Glitch made it all the better

### 4/5 — Game has been ruined

*2026-03-07*

The mandatory challenger update has taken all fun out of the game. You can no longer create a card around your biggest fighters as you’re forced to accept a mandatory fight and can no longer build a card around them. Ruined the entire experience of the game for me

### 5/5 — Update: Thanks for listening to my review!

*2026-03-06*

Superb Devs, I listed my review earlier and updated my game, problems are fixed now, Thank you, I will be playing way more now, best boxing game ever created, personally my favorite game ever! Please keep up the accuracy on the attributes and the imagination of having your own champion, etc. It feels like real life and it’s amazing. Many boxing games are very childish and inaccurate or not in depth, this game tops any other Fighting game ever

### 3/5 — Great Concept, But Revenue System Needs Fixing

*2026-03-02*

I really enjoy this game. Building fighters, booking events, and managing contracts is fun and strategic. When the system works properly, it feels rewarding.
However, there’s a major issue with event revenue that makes progression confusing. When I book a main event and add the required 6 fights, the event switches from PPV to FTW (Free-To-Watch). When that happens, I lose all PPV revenue and only earn a portion of ticket sales plus small TV money. For example, with PPV set at $100 and a sold-out 92,000-seat stadium, projected gross revenue was over $100M. After the network cut, I would keep around 60% of PPV revenue, plus gate, leading to huge profit after $2–3M in costs.
But when it switches to FTW:
* No PPV revenue * Only a few hundred thousand in TV money
* 50% of ticket revenue goes to fighters
* Total income drops to around $8–9M
* Profit ends up around $7M instead of tens of millions 
That’s little to no profit, but it’s drastically different from what was projected. If this is intentional, there needs to be a clear warning before confirming the event. If it’s a bug, it seriously affects long-term financial planning.
Great core game, but the revenue transparency needs improvement. Fixing this would make it a 5-star experience.

### 1/5 — Bogus losses

*2026-02-05, version 2.10.13*

If a fighter is better at everything than their opponent, they shouldn’t lose! It makes no sense for a lesser fighter with 18 losses to beat a better fighter with 2. It happens all the time.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2026-02-03, version 2.10.13*

You can see yo fighter out landing every round somehow you still lose and I hate the influence point stuff if it wasn’t that this game a make way more money

### 1/5 — bad decision

*2026-08-02, version 26.2.0*

game ruined, shouldn’t have to pay for a game like this, payed for weightclasses just for them to take them away with more subscriptions

### 1/5 — Free

*2026-07-30*

Make It Free

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2026-07-25*

Paid 3.99 for ringside now they are charging a monthly subscription to play the game, absolutely ridiculous

### 1/5 — Pay to play

*2026-07-23, version 26.1.3*

I liked the game all up until now why would you make it a pay to play game. I can’t even play what Iv already created and worked on.

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2026-07-16, version 26.1.2*

loved the new Game UI and gameplay but a PayWall for weight classes i dont care about??? i know its boxing but seriously, a paywall??????

### 1/5 — I don’t get the subscription

*2026-07-16, version 26.1.2*

The game is good but the fact that you have to pay monthly for it ruins it totally. Don’t play it don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Was good but now sad

*2026-07-13, version 26.1.2*

It’s sad that now you have to pay a subscription for this when it was free. Lost a supporter sadly

### 1/5 — Use to be great

*2026-07-11, version 26.1.1*

### 5/5 — Time for new trainers and TV deals

*2026-08-06*

The team has listened to everything I mentioned! 

Time for new trainers. In my world, I have trainers well over 100 years old. Realistically that’s impossible for someone that old to train boxers. Let’s get some new attributes for trainers and generate new trainers and retire them. 

TV deals would be realistic like Dazn and Prime video. With 11 billion in my account, it’d be cool the spend a portion of that to have my own TV program and have contracts with other promotions, and use the money to promote prospects like they do in real life..

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-01*

Love the game guys, unsure if I miss it but I know there’s European title fights but any plans for English commonwealth and British title fights like fights to do the transitional routes etc

### 5/5 — Jeu exceptionnel mais

*2026-07-30*

Le jeux est super mais sa serait interessant que on peut passer professionnel a 15 ans comme les boxeur comme Canelo alvarez est gagner des titre ultra jeune est être une légende de la boxe et aussi la possibilité de choisir le niveau de notre boxeur et aussi que le jeu soit en français si c’est possible merci en tout cas super jeux merci

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2026-07-24, version 26.1.3*

Love this game can you make an update where on the create your own fighter you could choose their style and their personality

### 5/5 — Very Detailed!

*2026-07-12, version 26.1.2*

The game really sucks you in and the presentation is great. Really enjoy all the new updated features. Injury statistics/condition might have a minor bug with old injuries not disappearing and injury weeks compounding

### 5/5 — One of the best boxing simulation game

*2026-07-11*

The continuous updates of the game keep players pleasantly surprised and fresh, and what I am most satisfied with is the humility of the Devs. They have always encouraged and supported players to provide any suggestions and support for issues fixes. With this attitude, I firmly believe that it will make the game even more outstanding.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-06-06, version 26.0.18*

Really fun game but I can’t get my new fighters any fights at the moment. And it’s been like that for almost a week

### 5/5 — only issue betting system

*2026-05-27, version 26.0.18*

i’ve bet over 50 million and 20 million and won both bets but it never gave me the money for them but other than that it’s a fun game

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-05-24, version 26.0.17*

Good

### 5/5 — Update

*2026-03-14, version 26.0.6*

The ability to buy out others boxers contract from different companies in manager leaderboard for and for the coaches so we can know who was the best coach of all time.
