Sam Langford footage

Seriously, though, collectors are allowed to collect what they like and what they do with their individual collections is their business.

Nothing wrong with that.

Kind of "dickish" though to announce you have something (of anything) that you know others want and then tell everyone they can't have it.

If you have no intention of sharing something (regardless of what it is) with anyone, keep it to yourself. Leads to fewer problems.

 

As a full-time collector of basketball footage, I hate klompton approach. I'm well aware of how expensive it is to transfer film tapes, but to do that and then talk that you will never share it? That's ridiculous.

I already paid thousands of dolars for 1960s and 1970s NBA footage and you can see samples on YT. You can also contact me and I never made problems for people who wants to see my footage.

Seriously, klompton has all the rights to keep it for himself, but what's the reason...?

 

First you have to believe Clompton has it. As an inveterate liar he is very unbelievable. If Jacobs didn't have it, I doubt this dude does.

 

Steve has the footage he talks about. He's posted screenshots of fights he's purchased. I'm happy someone/anyone is preserving them.

I messaged him here about a collection he wanted to purchase from someone, because he was looking for people to go in on it, but I just wasn't interested in the fights he was purchasing when I saw the list of what the person was selling.

He is on the level.

Lots of people have bigger fight collections than Jim Jacobs had and still find films all the time.

I just don't agree about throwing it in peoples' faces.

If he says he has footage of Langford, he does. And now you know where it is.

 

Some billionaires give all their money away, most don't.

Maybe he'll donate his collection to a museum or college one day. And you can go and watch all the films you like.

It's his hobby. It's his collection. He can do what he wants with it. Some people collect priceless art and just keep it in a house where no one can see it. Some don't. People are people.

 

Life doesn't work that way, most people don't care about archived sports materials.

 

I am certainly not a soulmate of Klompton/Compton, but why on earht should he just give away fights to Youtube that he has paid a lot of money to get??
