    Either that, or they're just lazy ****ers. They made a big stink about owning Bill Cayton's humongous collection, but it's taken them all this time just to dig a handful of fights out of it.

    Last year they did show Moore Slade all ten rounds.
    Before that, I only got about a 3 min highlight of that fight.
    They are slowing airing new fights.

    I guess they would... Jacobs and Cayton obtained a fair portion of the collection through decietful actions anyway.

    You have to contact ESPN... or do what I do..IGNORE IT!! Things only have monetary value when others pay for it. Dont be one of the dumb ****s who pay for 'snippets' of fight films..

    Enjoy what you have, and make it available for others.

    Yep, telephone the pricks and suggest you found a 'newsreel' containing footage of Darcy/Fulton sparring.... they'll **** themselves.

    LoL... that pretty much sums it up though. For example of a like situation..

    A bunch of money pigs not knowing what they have... or why its valued by others.

    Alan Bond, Aussie money man behind the "Australia II" success in '83 had purchased a 'Monet' painting via auction, with the standard 6 figure price tag. Typically uneducated (as most Billionaires have been), Bond telephoned his secretary with the news..

    Secretary.... "Good afternoon Mr.Bond"
    Bond.. ........"I just payed $9,000,000" for a painting done by Monet (mon net)
    Secretary.. "I believe the pronunciation is 'Mon ay' Mr.Bond"
