    Does HBO or Showtime sell recordings of their fights after they've been aired?

    They shouldn't complain about guys watching fights online if they don't even sell records if they don't want to they could put them on youtube anyway

    Imagine an HBO or a Showtime archive.
    (A real one not like they have now on HBO2Go)

    I'm talking about from the 70's until now full cards, I'd 100% subscribe to that channel.
    (Too bad all the contractual ****, Promo's ect would squash that)

    They uploaded the Pacquiao/Marquez trilogy on youtube. They should do this with all their biggest fights, at least the ones that are several years old.

    HBO and Showtime don't own the fights, the promoters do.

    No apparently it's not worth it financially to sell the fights as Blu rays or even DVD's.
