    Disagree with you there man, I`ve given plenty away for free over the years (you are well aware of that yourself) and I have no regrets for the most part. To everyone I sent footage to for free I had my own reasons for doing so which varied depending on the individual.

    I did not ask for anything in return ever usually except for their opinions on some of the fights I sent them to see how their view of the bout coincided with my own. I`ve also sent footage occasionally to family members of some fighters from the 50s and 60s who contacted me asking if I had any footage of their kin.

    I always gladly provided it and not once did I ever charge those people for those films, a few of which I paid good money for as well yet I did not ask them to compensate me for it in any way as that wouldn`t be right. So you see giving something away for free is not always foolish in of itself, but giving away foolishly however is.

    I've purchased fights from RB 3 or 4 times. In addition to being a grnuinely good guy, his product was good and his delivery prompt. Every time I've bought off of him he's given me extra fights, stuff he wanted me to check out or fights he knew I'd want from our discussions. Really cool guy. I have no problem with how he conducts himself. It's called capatalism.

    Greb film is like gold dust, I'm sure RB knows that more than anyone :D

    I'm sure theres some footage out there somewhere, I've read a few times accounts of people that had seen Greb/Walker but I dunno how much of it to believe.

    Wow... you must be feeling guilty right about now. Amazing you feel threatened by not having your name mentioned in the first few posts, yet know within yourself that your the type of scab that is stupid enough to help other scabs keep their possesions valuable. lmao.

    Don't ever assume for a minute that you've any idea what the hell I or others 'give away' without a call for a return of equal value.
    You might be very suprised at the generosity of others... myself included.

    Out of interest, what is a signed copy of UPPERCUTS by Fritz Holland worth???

    .... 'In the Days of the Giants' by Bill Doherty??

    Autographed L/Edition prints of well known fighters???

    What about original artwork by an artist who often sells for $35,000+??

    The list goes on. You're feeling like a ***** due to one fact... the people who think you're a greedy **** far out number those willing to purchase from you and those other scabs whose 'possesion value' you protect.

    A final reminder.. don't request that I spend $300 on any 'rare' fight film.. I'm the sort of **** that will do it, and release the footage free of charge.

    Perhaps you'll offer some contacts??? Dopey looking scab.

    Nothing thats great overall though, really its poor quality and very choppy, not too bad to watch, but not great either. im hoping a proper film will come out or a prime Robinson...

    Yeah, it's not the best footage granted. I'm sure there's a fair bit of SRR footage out there, there has to be.
