    Default Who wold pay for a boxing channel ?

    Ok we don't know specifics but am curious as to how many out there would pay for a boxing only channel. We hearing it going to be £10 a month after first few months when ite broadcast free

    Myself I am pissed off alrerady at amount I shell out a month and on principle am not forking out any more eg I have sky sports so not going espn for more football even though theres many a match on there I would like to see.

    I would still pay for the odd ppv fight though if thought was worth it (not done so though since Khan Maidana) so if they are going to have the big fights not sure how that might work. Unless you can switch it on and off month by month !

    And also could this mean you have sky sports for Ringside, Primetime for Khan and other ppv events and now Boxnation for other stuff ?!?

    Anyway am getting too bogged down.

    Bottom line is would you pay £10 a month for a boxing channel ?!?

    Probably would pay for a mix: boxing + MMA.

    Well it depends how much you like boxing?

    If you don't watch all the British/Euro level fights - which make up the majority of Sky TV fights - then it's clearly not for you.

    If you are just following the stars - Khan, Haye, Pac, Floyd etc.. then I wouldn't pay £10 per month either.

    I won't, just because Sky already take too much money from me and I couldn't sacrafice the sports all together because I watch too much of it.

    £5 a month I would have signed up, £10 is too much.

    For 24-7 coverage? No doubt. Not the same thing but only reason I have HBO & Showtime now at $10-15 per monthly. Would give some needed exposure to many cards.

    I have seen the line up to Box Nation and the line up is good, particularly as it is free for the moment. I was not intending to get it.

    I do not have sky but when Manny is fighting I get it for that month, so was going to do the same and be able to watch Cotto v Marg fight as well.

    I have ESPN anyway as part of the package so get Friday Night Fights which has been good this season. Get Euro sport which gets good fights shown 6 months after.

    Boxing fans are getting squeezed out of the game with all these channels to subscribe too, but as I am missing more and more boxing I am realising that I am not as huge fan as i use to be.

    so can you get sky sports channels on a monthly basis ? if so how much (and does it have to be them all or you can get specific ones)

    also do you have to remember to switch them off again by a certain date or risk getting charged again ?!? that pisses me off and has caught me out before eg you can't trust them just to switch it off for you

    i have to get mines through Virgin and the minimum is a month, think it costs £24, cost a couple of pounds more for the HD, and yes you have to remember to cancel it after the month, they will not allow you to do it earlier. Sky are the same on their platform, you can subscribe to them for a month.

    its all down to the quality... and is that £10 a month then another £15 to watch any decent fights via PPV?

    I won't be ripped off because i love a sport... there are other ways to get boxing for free legally, like a motorised satalite dish.

    Haye Vs Klit fight.

    £15 on skyBO or primtime can't remamber
    or
    Free on the german channel Das erst.

    I get both channels with my satalite setup

    apart from America i think the UK is one of the only other countries to have PPV boxing (i could be wrong as i'm not sure about ozland)

    but most big fights can be found on free to air europe channels.

    but if its £10 a month and you don't get your arse slapped with extra PPV's and the fights are good then yeah that is well worth it IMHO
