Will Don King ever start selling fight DVDs?
544922
REEDITED REVIEW!!!!\n\nWell first i agree whit the first answerer " no he is an idiot " .\n\nBut why will wouldn't he not do it? \nWell let me star by saying that Don King is all about marketing . So having said that i  have to say that selling the fights which some many people had ask him to sell on DVDs would not be such a good deal for him . Why? well first boxing is not like wrestling and other sports ,  boxers are idols but none of them are as idolized like for example hulk hogan and many others . they do not fight every week and they do not fill huge places every week .  but of course they are still very popular but their sports do not let them fight as often as other sports allow the ones who practice them . \n\nSo going back to the marketing which Don king uses .well boxing has someting which most sports do not have , most boxers usualy fight limited times in one year making people who manages them thinking on taking advatage of every oportunity as if it was the last time . Don king is an expert on this and he makes sure to get as much as he can whit out letting anyone else taking over the market he think is his and he made .\nhow does he do it ? \n1. by making sure to built up  a huge rivalry between his fighters all this whit all kind of low tactics and whit a lot of promoting making sure he has a good guy and a really bad one all the time (im talking about a guy Whit bad attitude ).\n2. by getting huge contracts whit HBO to only transmit ONE single time on PAY PER VIEW and when doing this making sure that everyone knows this is a ONE TIME OPPORTUNITY and that there will not be other one .\n3. by not letting others take advatage or to make themselves important by making money out of boxing like he does \n4. if he started to sell dvds he would have to give part of this money to the boxers which he probably thinks would star to manage themselves as soon as they have the money to do so .\n\nso at the end is all about marketing and his HUGE EGO.\n\ni have to add that even when this may not happen now it may happen in the future so lets just hope for that . im sure that if many people let Don King know what they want he may do it one day .

I could send you a DVD recording if you would like, but I don't think there's a commercial service as such.

i hope so.....especially in the heavyweight division. It needs someone unafraid of politics and whos not money hungry......just hungry. i, too, would like to see some white boxers to identify with, but hey...people are people. Each and every person who steps into that ring deserves a certain amount of respect, and if you can identify with any boxer, no matter the color, you can identify with each...at least a little.\n\nremember...there are some good white boxers still. just look back a few years and you'll see mickey ward and the likes...

I saw a big "going out of business" banner on the one in Chicago last weekend.\n\nOnline sellers have killed them.   When you can sit in your house and order to your door, why would you go to a brick and morter place for discs?  The online places are only warehouses that stock, take orders, and pack and ship.  No flashy stores to pay for.  And places like Amazon allow for more detailed product info than you get picking up a disc in a plastic holder at a store.  \n\nI bet best buy and circuit city will stop selling media within 15 years.

either reselling merchandise or producing your own content. best medium right now is internet and dvd.

Probably can, but please don't. It's theft, pure and simple and just makes prices on DVDs higher for everyone else who obeys the law.

I heard he's working on getting the rights and is pertty close if he hasn't got them already. I don't think it'll be in theaters for at least 5 years, though. More's the pity.

I would have Kinko do it. That way all copies would be perfect.

If you visit UFC's official website, they now have fights on demand which you can download for a small fee. I've done this and the videos are shown in GREAT quality and sound. If you arent wanting to pay, you might visit www.youtube.com and type in tito ortiz / ken shamrock in the search engine. They have a few videos there. Best of luck!!

Off the top of my head i would say...\n\nBeyond the Mat \nhttp://play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/83613/Beyond_The_Mat/Product.html\n\nWrestling with Shadows\nhttp://play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/174973/-/Product.html?searchstring=wrestling+with+shadows&searchsource=0\n\nThe Unreal Story of Pro Wrestling\nhttp://play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/160246/The_Unreal_Story_of_Pro_Wrestling/Product.html\n\nAssuming he was into the old "World of Sport" days on ITV he may be interested in one of the compilations such as...\n\nThe Best Of ITV Wrestling\nhttp://play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/897989/The_Best_Of_ITV_Wrestling_Box_Set/Product.html\n\nHe may also be interested in a subscription to Sky TV on the basic package as this would include TWC (The Wrestling Channel) which screens many new and old wrestling matches from a number of different promotions.

Try a program called dvd shrink. It will get the king kong dvd from 6.5gb to 4.7gb. \n\nPlease only use this info for "1" backup copy as permited by Copyright law.\n\nUse google to search for it, as I can not directly link to it.\n\nDvd Shrink 3.2

There would absolutely be a market.  \n\nYou can always try eBay, or contact ASIFA (the animation group) in Hollywood, who might be interested in them for archival purposes.  \n\nDo you have any for Bill Scott?  If so, could you email me?

None that are legal. There are illegal ways, but it would not be worth it to me. $250,000 in fines with a possibility of 5 years in jail? Not a good trade for watching King Kong...
