Why don't the stations release DVD's of their fights? It would seem if they priced them reasonably there would be a good market for them.

I agree but they may not hold all exclusive rights to them and if they did sell they may have to pay out such a large portion to the fighters, promoters etc it is not really worth it.....
If they did though man what a collection.....
I record fights off of HBO, Showtime, and just about any other station or PPV event I can find one going on.....Then put em on DVD....Have built up a fairly inpressive in just 10 months...
I really need to get down with the technology, to put it in perspective I still have a phone with a cord :pQuote:

One of these days I'm gonna hire some kid to get me all up to date with technology.Quote:

HBO and showtime could certainly put out a more extensive series of world level title foghts etc
I've been trying with a stack of discs I bought for years, only a few months ago I found out they are just data discs. I'm such a tard:lickish:Quote:

I also had a load of video tapes i transferred to dvd's recently they were all from old ITV Fight Night and the likes so don't see how it can't be done nowadays.
My local dvd rental place has a tonne of UFC stuff to rent. Boxing needs to catch up a bit.
Supposedly they don't believe that they can make a profit. It is apparently very expensive to press and distribute DVD's, and the network suits don't feel that there are enough boxing fans willing to buy the DVD's in order to make money on the deal
I still got 700 tapes from 1986 VHS, and still record that way.
