Youtube fights & Copyright law

[MrZeus]

I'm guessing it's no coincidence that you can watch virtually any Mayweather fight on youtube but virtually none of Frank warren's fighters (Calzaghe, Haye, Maccarenelli, pre-Collazo Hatton).

I guess it's their perogative to limit the availability of their fights but surely when it comes to building up a fanbase and interest in a fighters career youtube is your friend. For instance I really wanted to watch Calzaghe-Kessler again but couldn't find it on youtube at all. In the end I had to download it, but a lot of people simply wont bother.

silence ******

silence ******

"******".....what am I supposed to be bothered by that. I have no clue what you are on about. If you've got something to say, say it in a way that makes sense.

And incidentally, whatever it is you reported me for, the chances are you've done the same thing in the karma message.

I agree, they should put fights up on youtube.

OR, sell them on DVD for the fans or something. Cause if ur not selling it to TV stations or anything, why not put it up on youtube and let the fans enjoy the fight and let new fans come into the sport?

[dansapien]

it is impressive how sharp warren is over youtube, nothing of his lasts for very long at all.

he must have some team monitoring it, but there is no point with most of his fights that dont get dvd releases, if he aint 'losing' cash why would he care?

Yep, it's ****** and doesn't make any sense at all. Hardly anyone buys boxing DVD's except hardcore fans, or they buy them from people that have them burned on DVD. It's ******, if you want your fanbase to grow, have the fights available, youtube, wherever. It's called exposure ****tards.

The only time I can see where they're coming from is when it's posted immediately after the fight and there are still re-showings of the fight scheduled for tv or whatever.
