    I read in another thread here, that there is a guy/company/enitity who owns the rights to many fight films.


    Are there fights that do exist, but have not been released to the public? If so, what are some notable fights that do exist, but are not accessible for everyone?

    There's plenty of fights that are made unavailable by certain folks. In 99.9% of these cases, the clown holding the footage was not even alive when the fights took place.

    They also protect their own ilk by refusing to sell fights as a promise to a second greedy scab. These prized 'fights' are with held until payment allows a portion to be seen. In many cases the scabs also brag of footage they obtain, yet refuse to release any of it.

    Tight arse Fight collectors are typical of the filth we find in the game. The did not battle in the wars, yet they are still making $$$$ 100 years after some bouts.

    Yeah that's the worst part. I bet there's loads of film out there that we wont get to see for a long time. Not mentioning names but I know there's someone that posts here sometimes that has loads of rare footage that he wont share.

    What slimy **** would that be?

    There's really absolutely no reason, or justification for doing that. But hey, greeds greed and there's a thousand ways people milk money and generally **** things up for everyone.

    Well, don't deal with him or like scabs.

    Nothing has value unless paid for.

    Oh really? I won`t share will I? Then what do you make of all the footage I sent to My2Sense for him to upload onto youtube for all of you here and elsewhere to see for the first time, dozens of clips and short HL`s which are now becoming readily available for everyone, and I have more to come as well in due time. That doesn`t really sound like something a greedy, selfish mother****er would do now would it?

    RB offers a huge collection of rare fights, at very good prices.

    I have contacted afew sellers and there prices really were extortionate and realistically unaffordable. RB has good prices and rare fights that he offers very cheaply.

    You hit the nail on the ****ing head right there you idiot, so why the **** would I freely give out dozens of fight films which have cost me several hundred dollars apiece for free you intellectual dwarf? Would you or anyone else here for that matter give away something that cost you 300$ without wanting something of equal value in return?

    None of you would and you goddamn well know it, so why the hate towards us collectors who have rare fight films that cost us our time and especially money to acquire? If those of you who whine and ***** and moan would put in a mere fraction of the effort and $$$ to try and get a hold of some these films you would have something to show for it.

    Instead you guys sit in front of the pc and complain about the unfairness of it all instead of doing what I did back in the day when I was buying fight films like they were going out of style and put in 60 hours a week at work including weekends sometimes Saturdays AND Sundays to get the money I needed to buy what I wanted.

    So I sacrificed a lot and I worked my ass off to get these fights and to make the connections that allowed me to buy them, I didn`t sit in front of the pc and complain to others about the situation like you guys do, I went out there and ****ing did something about it, maybe ya`ll should think of doing the same instead of complaining.

    You want the fights, then cough up the $$$ and you can buy them, if you ain`t willing to pay then you have no right to complain, nothing in this world is free, everything and I do mean everything has a price, and that is especially so when dealing with rare fight films.

    Everyone who has fight procured them via cash or swap. Giving something you've paid for away (in one way or another) for nothing is stupid.

    In the book I was reading about Liston Valdes hit him with a flush right hand and Liston didn't flinch.
