They gonna be too busy watching the aj usky rematch....hehe
I dont blame Sony, these marketing events are a waste of budgets in this day and age. Digital events (SOP, ND) do a better job at showing off their content and keep the community engaged and informed.

AJ all the way, he at least gotta beat on Usky, boxing him is out of the question.

Not sure about that. I think Aj was was flawless in the opening of the first ruiz , where he set up beautiful combos and dropped him, before getting careless and brawling. I want to see AJ back to that form, fighting smart and setting up combinations.

Its Usky, AJ is going to have to beat him up because compared to AJ he is the better boxer.

Not true. I've seen Aj land some great shots. He just isn't consistent, that's his main issue.

It looks like that the traditional events are something from the past to be relevant for the gaming industry. Damn, I liked those big shows of the 3 big console manufacturers live on stage.
