The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The Joe Gans-Battling Nelson Fight è un cortometraggio muto del 1906. Non viene riportato in nome né del regista né dell'operatore. L'incontro tra i due pugili venne vinto dopo 42 riprese da Joe Gans. Due anni dopo, venne disputata la rivincita in due diversi incontri a Colma, in California. Gans, già ammalato di tubercolosi, probabilmente perse a causa delle sue non buone condizioni fisiche. L'incontro fu documentato da un cortometraggio della Selig Polyscope Company, Gans-Nelson Fight.
