If, after reading these comments from people who have ordered dvds from this site, you think
"what they say doesn't matter" - think about this - why would what people who have ordered over
400 dvds on this site say not matter?  Where else can you get this kind of detailed information about
the fights available on any other website?  Maybe you'd rather just take your chances because
you can save the cost of a hamburger on the dvds you can get somewhere else!

Does that make sense?

Buster Paris   12-7-05   USA

you first learned about this site at:
I learned about this site from another dvd seller. I was looking for fights that he didn't have and he turned me on to boxingvideoclassics.com

enter the approximate number of dvds you have ordered here:
I think 25

enter any comment about the website design and functionality:
The functionality and design of this site are great. It's very easy to navigate and work your way around.

comment on the video quality ratings and whether they seemed to represent the quality of the fights you received:
The quality ratings are right on! - It's very refreshing to read that something is very good and you get it and bingo! - it's very good! I absolutely love and appreciate the comments next to some of the bouts - like "a boxing fans dream fight" - "great action"; or "boring", "so and so ran all night".

enter your thoughts about the video quality of the fights you have ordered here compared to fights you have ordered elsewhere:
It's not so much that there's a difference of video quality as there is in the quality of the rating - and by that I mean that on all fights there are ratings of very good or excellent in describing quality of dvd  - when it comes to boxingvideoclassics you're always assured that if it says very good it IS very good.  You never have to worry that what you bought isn't going to be what you get. Everything I've bought has been exactly what I expected and has been of the highest quality.

your thoughts about the editing of the fights in your orders:
The fights are edited beautifully - no action ever missed.

enter the coverage you usually prefer on your fights:
Depends on the fight. Some fights I totally dig the ring walks of each fighter and a nice post show - on other fights I just want to see the ring intros and once it's over on to the next.

comment on the idea that all fights are the same no matter where you get them:
All fights are NOT the same when it comes to where you buy them from. First and foremost – boxingvideoclassics is completely trustworthy – you know you’re not going to get taken for a ride or ripped off or have to wait weeks before you get your dvd.  The other huge issue is quality. I’ve been burned far too many times from other sellers claiming to have good quality dvd’s and it just isn’t so – boxingvideoclassics does what it says – if it’s rated as VG – then that’s exactly what is – no odd interpretation of it – no having to worry what is meant by VG (very good) – the standard is what normal people apply to these – you’ll NEVER get “well – it’s very good for a 1980 fight”

is the black screen that is recorded before and between each fight a useful feature?
The black screen is nice in that it lets you know you're in transition.

enter your thoughts on the printed jewel case insert with fighters names and dates of fights:
It's funny - I really like the case the dvds come in. They stand out in my collection and are the easiest to sort and file.

enter any comments about the way the fights were packaged for shipping:
The only thing I can think of as an improvement is pretty insignificant - but it would be to also include the number of rounds next to the date - but maybe not everyone would like that - (this answer refers to the titles on the jewel case inserts...bvc) example:
Oscar De La Hoya
Vs.
Felix Trinidad
9-18-99 (12 rounds)

respond to the idea that all fights are the same so price is all that matters:
Like I said above - first and foremost – boxingvideoclassics is completely trustworthy – no games and no crap. It’s refreshing to know and trust that you’re not going to get ripped off – it’s nice to know that your dvds will arrive when you’re told they will arrive and the quality is what it says it is – no funny business and no guess work – Good is good – no if, ands or but’s – good means good – very good means very good – no bizarre interpretation.  You’ll NEVER get “Hey – it IS very good for a fight that took place in 1976 – think about the equipment they had back then”
It does matter where you buy from. The good vendors out there should be rewarded for having good products and for being from top to bottom honest.

enter any suggestions on how this website can be changed to better fit your needs:
There really is no way it could be better. Maybe a monthly newsletter - nice to know what's happening in the boxing dvd or boxing world.

post any comment on your thoughts regarding paid advertising for boxing on dvds:
I don’t have any problem with folks advertising on the web or on boxing sites – or wherever they want –
 Occasionally when I see the ads I click on them - just to check them out – see what fights and prices they have. Most of the time I’m utterly unimpressed with the sites or with the fights listed – or you can just sense that it’s junk.
 Ultimately I think it’s up to the buyer to be selective and careful about how he/she spends their hard earned cash.  I hate to sound like a shill for boxingvideoclassics.com – but you’re really not going to do any better out there – I’ve always been happy buying here. Always! – and that’s a huge statement when you really think about it.

enter your opinion about career sets sold by others :
I actually like the idea of career sets - usually the price is cheaper than buying each fight individually or in groups.

This is by far one of the best sites for buying boxing dvds - the selection is incredible! - you want it? - boxingvideoclassics will have it!
The pricing is very fair.
The service is absolutely the best out there, personable and professional and the buying process is smooth, easy and fast - and 100% trustworthy. You simply cannot do wrong buying your fights here.

Design is pleasing, site is easy to navigate. My only complaint is a minor one. On the alphabetical listings, if there are more than 2 pages of fights and I want to go right to page 3, I have to click on "next page" and "next page" again. Since I have dial up this is relatively time consuming, but again it is a minor complaint.

comment on the video quality ratings and whether they seemed to represent the quality of the fights you received:
The quality ratings are very representative of the fights that I have received. In some cases I thought that fights Jay rated good were very good.

enter your thoughts about the video quality of the fights you have ordered here compared to fights you have ordered elsewhere:

comment on the idea that all fights are the same no matter where you get them:
No, they're not.

is the black screen that is recorded before and between each fight a useful feature?
On video tape it is. It provides a break between fights and allows time to prepare for the next one. On DVD however, since the fights are broken up into chapters, I think that the feature is less useful

enter your thoughts on the printed jewel case insert with fighters names and dates of fights:
I think that this touch is great. I have received fights with a barely legible sticky note attached, so this feature is wonderful to me.

Friendly...easy to search. Fighters are in alphabetical order with fight dates and some additional information such as: loses or win, non title bout or title bout.

comment on the video quality ratings and whether they seemed to represent the quality of the fights you received:
Quality of rating are accurate, precise and honest!!!  No lying about the quality. So far I've purchased all the Hopkins, Chavez, Toney, Barrera, Morales, Holyfield and some of Ricardo Lopez.  The quality of all of these fights in picture and sound are excellent 10 of 10.

Excellent...the quality in picture and sound are amazing, remarkable and extraordinary.

Editing is very good.  Fights are commercial free.

enter the coverage you usually prefer on your fights:
Full coverage.  Pre-fight and post-fight reports, interview, training and tale of the tape.

comment on the idea that all fights are the same no matter where you get them:
I have purhased fights in other sites and the quality is not the same.  About a year and half ago I purchase a career set of Hagler (site from Europe), the quality was garbage.  Also purcase Hopkins fights at a Canada site (infiniteboxing.com) about half of the fights were crap.

is the black screen that is recorded before and between each fight a useful feature?
Yes, very useful because it indicates that the fight will start or that another fight will begin.

enter your thoughts on the printed jewel case insert with fighters names and dates of fights:
Great idea having the fight in a jewel case with the fighters name and date of the bout.  This is a very unique and nice. I like having my fights like this.., two thumbs up.

enter any comments about the way the fights were packaged for shipping:
Carefully packaged so the jewel case and the fights will not be damage during the process of shipping.

respond to the idea that all fights are the same so price is all that matters:
Some fights may cost $5 or $10 but one has to wonder is the quality good and what type of coverage.  Also the type of DVD-R they are being recorded on.

very extensive listings, an excellent reference source for results, dates, etc. of past bouts.

comment on the video quality ratings and whether they seemed to represent the quality of the fights you received:
excellent quality, placed orders on both VHS and DVD, quality was always excellent, consistent, through all orders, and all orders were shipped very quickly, often ahead of quoted delivery time

enter your thoughts about the video quality of the fights you have ordered here compared to fights you have ordered elsewhere:
only ordered from one other site, received a low quality VHS tape with mis-matched box, fights written in ink on a post it note, rounds missing from fights, low quality recording.  last bout was such poor quality it was unwatchable.  probably a tape that had been re-used.

your thoughts about the editing of the fights in your orders:
perfect.  some of the older fights that i had ordered had the commercials edited out, which obviously took extra time for BVC, but it was appreciated...didn't much want to watch commercials from 1985 during older fights.

enter the coverage you usually prefer on your fights:
as much as possible...intros, any pre-fight interviews, buildup, post fight interviews, as much as possible, especially key fights in my favorite fighter's careers.

comment on the idea that all fights are the same no matter where you get them:
yeah sure...just like all auto mechanics are the same.  i have personal friends that were literally ripped off with no resolution from another site, because he confused "cheap" with "good".  sent his money order, received nothing, no response to emails asking status.

The site is professional and very east to use, plus all the extra little touches such as advice on calculating fight times were very helpful in getting started with an initial order.

comment on the video quality ratings and whether they seemed to represent the quality of the fights you received:
Video ratings in my opinion are very accurate and most importantly honest. Every fight is clearly labelled with a quality rating so you know what to expect.

enter your thoughts about the video quality of the fights you have ordered here compared to fights you have ordered elsewhere:
Fight quality is superb when ordering fights with a VG rating, G is also pretty good too compared to if you recorded it yourself at home. Of course even a G here is far better than the other sites so called excellent video quality, which generally requires that you squint to understand what you're watching. One of my first orders for example was for Larry Holmes vs. Mike Weaver rated VG and I was stunned that a fight 26 years old was so clear and sharp to watch, I have many fights from the late 1980s that I recorded personally direct from the TV that don't come close to that level of quality.

Great editing, with no mistakes.

I like my discs presented as though I was watching a live fight bill in my own home, I feel that it tells more of the fights story and the attitude to both the fight and the fighters at the time that the fight occurred. Plus Larry Merchant's notorious interviews and frequently biased post fight analysis on HBO fights are always worth watching.

comment on the idea that all fights are the same no matter where you get them:
Total b.s. proven by ordering from other sites and the deep feeling of rage that follows when you paid good money for other sites bad dvds. I'm talking about scratched discs, bad editing, poor packaging and video quality so bad it looks more like a 1970s video arcade game. BVC offers the polar opposite of all that.

is the black screen that is recorded before and between each fight a useful feature?
This is a nice touch that nicely seperates each fight, it just adds a bit of class to the presentation.

enter your thoughts on the printed jewel case insert with fighters names and dates of fights:
I love them, I wish all my own dvds had this touch, plus it makes finding fights very easy within a boxing library.

enter any comments about the way the fights were packaged for shipping:
Nicely wrapped and packaged to ensure that the discs arrive safely at the other side, and the postage is always cheap and fast and I order my fights to the U.K., and they still arrive in 3-4 business days (including Saturdays in fact).

respond to the idea that all fights are the same so price is all that matters:
Absurd idea, and people who adopt that attitude will get exactly what they pay for.

I honestly don't have any ideas for you but if I think of any I will let you know.

post any comment on your thoughts regarding paid advertising for boxing on dvds:
Why bother? Proper fight fans will want the best discs and so will most likely find the time to looks at all the competition out there. Plus if you are reading this then you have no excuse not to order a sample disc to see what all the fuss is about. I advise any doubters to place a small order with mulitiple boxing dvd sites and see what each sends you in exchange for your money.

enter your opinion about career sets sold by others :
Mass produced crap, I swear they are running off 50 copies at a time and standard career sets allow them to produce a uniform product. Plus those kind of fights offer very limited fight sets anyway. At BVC you have thousands of fights to chose from and can pick all the fights that you want.

Yes

I love the fact that every fight recorded personally by BVC was recorded in SP mode and that does make a difference from my own 20 years of recording boxing.

you first learned about this site at:
I don't recall.  I probably was just surfing the net and discovered the site by accident.

enter the approximate number of dvds you have ordered here:
25-30

enter any comment about the website design and functionality:
What I like about the website is the ratings and comments.  Most other collectors don't rate their videos. Instead you must ask.  The comments sometimes help me select fights I'm unfamiliar with.

comment on the video quality ratings and whether they seemed to represent the quality of the fights you received:
For the overwhelming majority of videos, the quality ratings are very accurate. There have been a couple of occasions when I received a video that was worse than I expected and a couple of occasions when it was better than expected.  Obviously, the ratings are subjective but they are pretty accurate in my estimation.

enter your thoughts about the video quality of the fights you have ordered here compared to fights you have ordered elsewhere:
In general, the videos are better.  The fights are very professionally done and even the case is attractive.

your thoughts about the editing of the fights in your orders:
For the most part it's fine.  However, I understand the editing is done in a uniform way.  People choose how they want to edit the tape and that's the way its done.  But some other collectors know that an interview or something else is interesting and will include it.  I may never have known about that interesting part and would miss it if I just ordered say, intros to decision.

enter the coverage you usually prefer on your fights:
Ring introductions to decision.

comment on the idea that all fights are the same no matter where you get them:
Untrue. This site is consistently professional and the quality of the videos are as good or better than most other sites.

is the black screen that is recorded before and between each fight a useful feature?
Don't care much about black screen.

enter your thoughts on the printed jewel case insert with fighters names and dates of fights:
Great. Really adds a touch of professionalism.  Most cases look like someone made them in their garage. 

enter any comments about the way the fights were packaged for shipping:
No problems.

I don't know if I understand the question.

Think the site is great as is.

enter your opinion about career sets sold by others :
I've only ordered a career set once - of Salvador Sanchez.  I guess if you really like a fighter, then it's worth it.

This is definitely the most professional site on the web.  I highly recommend to any boxing fan to check it out and would fully endorse the collector as an honest, above-board dealer.
