First color film of boxing?

I have both versions mint.

The earliest color film I have seen is Zale-Apostoli.

 

The first boxing match to be televised in color was the Joey Giardello/Willie Troy bout at Madison Square Garden on March 19, 1954.

 

My understanding was that the first boxing match to be televised in color was Emile Griffith Vs Manny Gonzalez 2 for the WW title.

 

not my business Klompton, and an absolutely genuine question here; are you a wealth man?

if so, why not release some of these great boxing films/footage to youtube... I'm not sure selling these films brings value anymore since the rise of youtube and the thousands of footage on there!

honest query Klompton no ill intent.

 

They fought in the 1st coast to coast televised boxing match that was in color. Emile Griffith/Manuel Gonzalez on December 10, 1965.

On March 19, 1954, Joey Giardello stopped Willie Troy in 7 rounds. This was the first boxing match to be televised in color.

 

This is interesting. I wonder if there is an issue of symantics here. I dont doubt that Giardello-Troy was broadcast on fledgling color transmitters, but who would have been able to watch it in color other than the developers and studio people who were tinkering with it as color televisions didnt go in to production for public use until later that year or earlier the next? So the signal may have been broadcast in color, but you and I would have only been able to watch it in B/W. Like when I was a kid and we didnt have a color tv so all the color programs were just black and white. Im guessing that by the next time this was attempted (Griffith Gonzalez, 11 years later) the technology was actually in place for regular Americans to watch the broadcast on color TV, or rather those people privileged enough to own a color tv.

 

Im not wealthy, and I dont sell my footage so making money off of it isnt an option.

The fact that Im not wealthy means I need to be more conservative and careful with who and how I get my fights whether by trade or purchase.

 

Speaking of innovative new TV sets. My friend an inventor just came out with a new type of
TV screen. It is only 8inches high, by 96 inches wide. It is for people who squint !

 

cheers Klompton, just would be nice to see ALL the great boxers known and UNKNOWN from whomever, everybody and anybody who has copies or owns such gems!

:good

 

I agree.

 

The thing with youtube now is that if you upload stuff you can make a couple of quid off it if it gets plenty of views and you allow youtube to put adverts on it.

 

except u download all tht
SHIET OFF THE TORRENT SITES
IT IS FACT
U TAKE FIGHTS FOR GRANTED , BUT IS VERY GREEDY IN RETURN .

 

I keep my share ratio high. Seeder's are just as important as cappers and I have uploaded fights that have been requested from me that arent rare or dont have prior agreements/commitments. Im certainly not the only person who doesnt post everything they own on torrent sites. I have requested plenty from other people only to be ignored even when they readily download what I post. Tit for tat. Besides, being a member of a torrent site doesnt mean that the members are bound by any rules or bylaws to open their ENTIRE collection for public consumption.

 

Well said Klompton.
