    how many of his fights will come out and be available on film besides the ones already made available? which ones do you think he has in his own collection and how pricey would those srr rumbles be if he had them?

    Is it fact that he has a bunch of his fights in a collection?

    If so, I'd count on some private collector swoopin...

    He doesnt have any of the Robinson fights. In fact he doesnt have anything anyone else doesnt already have. Neither did his ex wife vicki.

    How many fights are there of Lamotta

    I think I have seen maybe 5 in total. Off the top of my head Hairston, Murphy, Hightlights from the Cerdan fight, Robinson 5 then another one I can't recall. One thing that bothers me is the highlights from the Cerdan fight I taped but can no longer locate it.

    Does anyone know if there are more?

    LaMotta may never die. First of all heaven doesn't want him. Second, Satan is afraid of getting his ass kicked out of his house and home by Jake, and where does he go then? On his deathbed, Dempsey lied to his wife, saying, "Don't worry honey. I'm too mean to die." LaMotta wouldn't be lying if he said it, but he doesn't have to because everybody knows it.

    Rumor has it that Bruce Lee committed suicide because he did something to make LaMotta mad, and Jake went looking for him. Who do you think killed Liston? Who do you think Chuck Norris fears and has nightmares about? Before he goes to sleep at night, he looks in his closet and under his bed to make sure Jake isn't hiding there, waiting to pounce the moment the lights go out.

    Jack LaLanne just died because he drank **** like fresh fruit and vegetable juices. (Actually, he was a drunkard who happened not to get busted for DWI after 1991.) Jake maintains his health with fat cigars, booze and broads young enough to be his great great granddaughters. (I can't wait until I'm old enough to legally date girls one fourth or fifth my age.)

    I realize you're probably trolling, but in case you are not, why would a scumbag POS like LaMotta be your hero?

    I'd hope the films come out without him having to pass away. Anyway, most of the film on him is already available. Fights against Robinson VI, Bell, DeJohn, Mitri, Dauthuille, Cerdan, Nardico, Kilgore as well as both fights with Hairston, Murphy and Hayes are all on film. Heard rumours about some other stuff being out there but can't confirm it without having seen them. Some others on this forum might have though.

    There's also the Coolidge Miller amateur footage from '39.
