If they are buying exclusive rights, then they should get the raw footage to protect themselves.
If they are buying non-exclusive rights, then they have no need or business with the raw footage. The edited version is the final product that they are buying.
By the way, a lot of buyers are under the impression that there is value in the raw footage, and that it could be re-cut as a different version. It is true that the re-cut version can constitute a new copyright, but it is not that easy to make a markedly different re-edit because, believe me, the editor is going to cut everything usable.
