Attention Marketing Dept.

Just in case no one has considered this obvious marketing ploy, how about creating a colourful fictional boxing poster pumping TBCB and sending it to prominent sportscasters, boxing personalities, athletes and film stars known to attend boxing cards. You could tailor some of them to different targets: Chuvalo vs. Lennox Lewis, say, for the Canadian market. Henry Cooper vs. Audley Harrison for the British market, etc. You might even consider approaching a manufacturer of sports trading cards to create a limited edition TBCB set of boxing greats that you could send to PC game reviewers. What would it cost to take out a one page ad in PC Gamer magazine?

Just a few random thoughts as I slip into unconsciousness.

It's good to see you active on the boards again Cap. I like the idea, if I wasn't completely hopeless with graphics I'd help out... and not even your rancid fat will cajole some talent out of these fingers
