    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 don't miss my VCR it still gets used!! Nothing quite so fun as pulling a chewed up tape out of the machine.

    I would imagine for an organization like HBO for example they could easily write in the contract the percentage takes for a boxer, promotional company etc. I don't record on my VCR now because it's hooked up on another TV. One of these days I'm gonna hire some kid to get me all up to date with technology.

    Their might just be too many shifts in the fighters situations.Jumping networks,etc.Until recently HBO and Showtime would not even show clips of one another.Besides,they are divas....Man you have me beat.I actually still record some on a VCR,just habit I suppose.I have more lbs of plastic than an episode of 'New jersey housewives' lol.Transfering onto DVD is one huge slow pain in the arse...let alone down loading all of them ><.Sooooooome day.Some day
