EA Sports has announced the first paid DLC for Fight Night Round 4. This downloadable boxer pack will include Oscar De La Hoya, Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko, and alternate versions of George Foreman and James Toney.

The pack is expected to be released late in August on both the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network for 800 Microsoft points and $9.99 respectively. Whether or not 3 new boxers and an alternate skin of two existing boxers warrants paying an additional 17% of the original purchase price is up to you.

Never missing an opportunity to get some easy press for one of his products, Peter Moore recently issued a response on his official blog stating that “it may be time for the president and his family to put their Wii to good use and fire up the 30-day challenge with EA Sports Active.”

Not wanting to let Obama’s signature slogan go to waste, Moore added “Mr. President, here is my challenge to you: Try EA SPORTS Active and I guarantee you’ll need aides saying “Yes You Can!” to finish your first workout.”

Gotta love the guy.
