Hey guys, pretty random topic today—I'm doing some PA work on an upcoming film Low Down (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1864405/) we need to find some old archival footage of boxing from the 70s-but not a classic fight, something pretty non-descript. I was thinking maybe a clip from ABC's wide world of sports television broadcasts, does anyone know if any footage exists, or where I might guy to find a list of broadcast fights?
Please and thank ya :boxing:
I have a lot of ABC-wide world of sports broadcasts but I am afraid they are deep buried in an unmarked library. It would take me months to find them. May I recommend the two boxing torrent sites. They have a large collection of various telecasts.
duran had several fights on abc.
i should have specified that pulling from youtube isn't sufficient, we need to know that the clip is licensable, and we need to find a clip that's of a good enough quality to play in the film.
You can just rip them off Youtube. There's tons to pick from that aren't "marquee" fights. Firefox has plug ins that enable you to download the video file (mp4) directly from Youtube.
