    Default Boxing Network

    NBA NHL NFL MLB soccer tennis etc.... They all have their own network. What about a boxing network? Share it with mma , even though I'm not an mma fan. A ring sports network.

    No, speaking from a Yank point of view, each sport has its own network on cable or satellite sports package. MLB NBA NFL NHL , Soccer, Tennis , Racing. All but boxing

    Yeah i think its more of the fact of those sports have leagues and boxing is a fight by fight sport, we have a channel dedicated just to boxing but when the channel/main event depends on two fighters it can be a nightmare if one of the fighters get injured. If lemar odum gets injured they have a substitute ur still watching the lakers... If tyson gets injured u cant replace him with anybody... Am i right? Or still being wrong

    You're exactly right , but I still think you could have a boxing/mma channel that could survive.

    In the uk, we get packages. Like sky sports 1, 2, 3, 4.

    They mix their shows, cricket, football, boxing, etc. You basically watch what they show or plan in advance if there is something you wanna watch. You don't have a channel that has boxing on 24/7.

    The only channel that seems to be exclusive to one sport is Sky Sports F1, exclusive to formula 1 racing.

    You can buy packages of the top soccer teams, like Chelsea TV or Man Utd TV.

    Boxnation Is exclusive to boxing but its very, very shit.

    It's a shame when you have to truly invest in a sport to be a fan. I shell out $hundreds in US dollars to be a fan. It truly takes effort. If it took less , more fans would evolve.

    HBO, Showtime, not to mention the ppv fees. Epix shows euro fights but that's still a bump up on my cable package.

    Sky sports are good for showing a lot of boxing for just the package price, but the top ones like Kessler v Frock will be ppv.

    Box Nation is only £10 and shows big fights, Sky sports you pay £36? and do not get half as much boxing. Who cares about commentary?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    But I want him bankrupt and his channel dead. So support the cause mate lol.

    Boxnation is a great channel for boxing, but Steve Bunce is like a floater you no what it is by fuck
    they take some flushing. I find him too much he talks crap, and far to much of it in depth bull shit
    time will tell, will this channel survive I hope so.

    I guess, I just stream his shit. Besides a few just left and I predict more so maybe it'll go under. If that happens sky will have a big schedule as that's the only place they'll go, with match room.
