Really? That sucks... but yeah, he was pretty much walking all over copyright. I can't be too surprised.
I do wish that the TV networks weren't such *******s when it comes to youtube copyright though. It's their right, but a lot of casual fans use the site to watch highlights of past and current fighters, and if you don't have access to the particular TV network the fight is on youtube can be your only option to actually see footage of the fights. If you were to wipe all the boxing footage off of youtube it'd be a catastrophe for the sport. Sometimes the networks upload highlights themselves but they almost always suck, you're lucky if HBO decides to give you a minute's worth of footage from a 12 round fight.Comment

This ultimately comes down to lack of foresight in my mind.
If these promoters/TV channels had any, they would take the approach that game developers and publishers took with the modding community.
Gothic 3 was rushed by JoWood in the mid 2000's, and was released unfinished, buggy and had some game breaking bull**** that severely hampered ones ability to enjoy the game. So what did the modding community do? They fixed all the bull with patches, and not only did they fix the issues, they changed certain aspects of gameplay, visuals, even the sound. They added stuff that had been cut by Piranha Bytes due to time constraints, remastered the graphics for current gen hardware, etc. So, when JoWood released Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods to a terrible critical reception due to bugs and ****ty content, they PAID the Gothic 3 modding community to make mods and patches to FIX their broken game.
There's NO WAY that they paid these modders as much as they paid their regular employees. Bethesda tried to do the same, but failed hard with their ****** Mod Market or whatever its called, but their is some wisdom to this.
Instead of copywriting and vilifying talented and popular content creators, especially those who bring high views to the sport, PAY them a figure/fee for their ****, and have their channels as affiliates of the promoter or whatever.
I mean ****, these dudes who are talented i.e BoxingLegendsTV would get paid well for their ****, and these promoters i.e Top Rank, Matchroom, etc. would have awesome content that they could get away with paying much less than they do their editors for.
I'm not talking about dudes who create content filled with background noises, scruffy goatees and chirping birds, I mean the real talented dudes.
Our sport is already handicap filled. Stomping out passionate and talented boxing content creators is ******ation of the highest order.Comment
