The Heavyweight Legends Pack, available March 29th, adds a selection of Legendary boxers, but also makes a new game mode available – Bare Knuckle Boxing. You can choose to play Bare Knuckle Bouts, or even fight with “Old School Rules”: with no timer, no referee and last man standing rules, the match will also allow players to throw as many illegal shots as they like.

Also included below are a few screenshots.

Not all the greats have opted in to the Old School Rules are: Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Oscar De La Hoya, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Ray Leonard, Evander Holyfield, Roberto Duran, Vitali Klitschko and Wladimir Klitschko.

Bare Knuckle fights are available for: Offline Play Now, Online Ranked / Unranked and Online World Championships. Old School Rules are only playable in Offline Play Now, all other modes only support Bare Knuckle fighting.

The Heavyweight Legends Pack also features the addition of five new fighting legends. Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano and Floyd Patterson

For the hardcore fans who want to see their fighters at the different weight classes they've fought under, EA has created the Alternate Weight Class Pack. Requested by the fan community, those boxers are: Featherweight Manny Pacquiao, Lightweight Manny Pacquiao, Lightweight Oscar De La Hoya, Middleweight Roy Jones Jr, Middleweight Bernard Hopkins, Welterweight Roberto Duran, Middleweight Thomas Hearns, Welterweight Pernell Whitaker.

For those who might only want specific add-ons, EA offers many purchasing options. The whole Heavyweight Legends Pack – including the Bare Knuckles mode – will cost 800 MS Points/$10.00. Individual fighters can also be purchased for 160 MS Pts/$2.00 each. The Bare Knuckles Boxing Pack can also be bought by itself for 320 MS Pts/$4.00. And finally the Alternate Weight Class Pack can only be bought separately, and that will set you back a paltry 80 MS/$1.00 for all boxers.
