I never really believed in the EA jinx when it haunted NFL players like Marshall Faulk, Daunte Culpepper, and Eddie George. Frankly, I just thought all of those guys were over-rated.
But last year, the EA jinx caught up to Roy Jones, and I became a believer. After being on the cover of Fight Night 2004, Roy got KO'd in back to back fights.
Bernard is this year's cover boy, will the EA jinx strike again?
I'll tell you what, if his next fight is vs. Jermain Taylor, I'm betting the mortgage on Bad Intentions to break down the X-man

Yeah, that cover is for real. And I agree, Hatton hasn't done anything huge to be the cover boy. But I guess if he's really huge in that territory and could sell copies, then business is business.
But look at the difference:

Hatton isn't really the Fight Night coverboy. Spinksjinx made that. Nobody would use a picture that gay for the cover of a boxing game.
On all the uk websites and advertising in uk mags Hattons on, in the game shops etc. I've just ordered my copy from play.com (UK) check it out he's the UK coverboy :mad:
What a fucka
I think it's bang out of order that Hatton is on the UK cover of fight night, why the fuck can't it be BHop like it should be, i like hatton but what the fuck has he done to be the cover boy. Blah
I wasn't aware of that, geez Hatton's got enough going against him in that fight, he's too slow and too soft and now he's got a jinx to work thru, there will be much tear-shed in Manchester this Summer

The EA jinx doesn't work with years what end with 5
It also doesn't work when you're standing upside down and a cat walks under a ladder during a full moon.....
Madden 95 had John Madden on the cover, but I'm sure you knew that already
Nah Hopkins is special in Gods heart, its the other man that is on the fight night round 2 cover that will get struck....If you dont know Ricky Hatton is on the UK version of the game and he is facing Tszyu...OUCH.

I think the curse was reversed since after the eastman fight? But anyways if anything it's probably because b-hop is already 40 yrs old. I noticed his signs of slowing down during his last fight. (Or is it just his tactic?)
Who knows?
