I have to say that I like that there are great fighters like Trinidad that didn't end up in the tournaments. To me it makes it more realistic that not every top level young fighter is involved in the tournys. Also, was did my post in your questions thread any help?
I'm really not too sure how possible my take on the Cuba situation would be in reality but I needed to come up with a valid reason to have young Cubans who have grown up there under Castro fighting professionally. Having Castro die in '03 and a new party come to power solved that problem.

I knew when I started this uni that I wouldn't be able to have all the best fighters in the IBL. That would have been unrealistic to how things would work in real life. With Trinidad it was also a matter of timing. He's just turned pro and doesn't need the pressure of a sudden-death tournament to contend with. I have a long term vision for how things progress with the different alphabet organisations. It'll play out over a considerable period of time and all I'll say for now is that some of the guys who aren't in the IBL now will end up there eventually.

I only now just saw your answer to my question. Don't know how I missed it before. Thanks for the reply. I'll have to open up the game in the morning and check it out but I'll be pretty short on time 'cause we have to finish all our packing tomorrow. Less than 48 hours now until we fly out to the Philippines.
