    How so?

    I don't care about the spat between people on this thread, hence I have no dog in the fight. I don't care whether Klompton chooses to share his collection nor how.

    But I'm asking, since he is a historian and understands the value (and not just the monetary value, but the historic value of the world getting a better understanding of how good Greb really was or was not, as we can't see him to compare) of a Greb fight, what he would do with it if he got one. If he sold it to a high-dollar buyer, good for him -- that person may choose to share it, or that might be ESPN and they would broacast it.

    I wouldn't judge someone selling something like that at all -- perhaps it could put children or grandchildren through college. If it fell into my lap, I would certainly sell it, no question.

    In fact, sharing it and selling it aren't mutually exclusive. He could do both.

    I'm just curious since such an item would not only be rare for collection purposes, but would also advance our collective knowledge on where Greb might stand head-to-head as an ATG.

    Ive been sitting on this for a while and after some major soul searching and some of the comments by people on here I guess I should finally post this. At least now people cant say Ive never released anything rare and Im just a hoarder:

    i took charlie norkus jr up a bit wrong about it seemingly...he's elaborated on it for me this morning...

    "Interesting story. Quick answer is -No-there is no commentary. The reason. The fight was not televised. The Joey Maxim-Archie Moore fight was the following week in Miami also. That was on TV. The boxing TV telecast for that one got new lenses for their TV cameras a week ahead of time.
    They decided to test out their new lenses on a fight- the Norkus Nardico 1 fight. With permission from promoter Chris Dundee and boxers- they were only going to film 3 rounds then stop. Instead the producer saw what was happening and ordered more tape in to record the entire fight. NO announcers on hand. Later on the boxing match had sound dubbed over for high-light film. AS far as I know-no sound recording for whole fight exists-or I never seen r heard about it."

    I considered it but I figured I should be more creative.
