An old jeff Lacy fight followed by a Klitschko fight.

Did they make some kind of deal where they are gonna put some of their fights on ESPN Classic???

Cause that would be awsome, Showtime has some great fights.

O yea, and the SHowtime announcers are on there too, so its authentic and realy great.

Anyone here of anything???

Yes, ESPN bought the Showtime library. I heard it in an ad for the show last night.

wooooow thats really great. Does a certain fight between a certain Diego Corrales and a certain Jose Luis Castillo belong to this library??? Probably not, probably belongs to the promoter.

This is great news. Showtime has had many great fights through the years.

They made a deal for ppv too because i recall they hyped up the Vargas v. Mayorga fight ppv by showing Vargas and Mayorga past fights then there fight. So the deal must be a continuation deal. Where espn classics hypes up all ppv fights.

great to see. HBO wont ever do this unfortunently

HBO has sold fights to ESPN Classic but its very rare. Gatti-Mayweather was HBO PPV and its been shown on Classic a lot.
