    It depends who is fighting on it each month, but i will pay for it this month because of Burns - Kastidis, Bute -Johnson, Groves - Smith, Selby -Simpson, Crolla - Limond, Lebedev -Toney, gotta be worth a tenner.

    I think I'll pay for it, my internet connection is often too slow to stream fights and I've been really enjoying watching Boxnation so far. I don't see why it can't survive into next year and keep going from there.

    Looks like we're going to have to if we want the big fights as Sky have confirmed today that they are pulling the plug on ALL Pay Per View boxing "for now"..... All of a sudden a tenner a month seems ok - obviously depending on the quality AND amount of decent bills. One thing that does worry me is when Warren said in an interview "it will start as a free channel, then from 2012 will be £10 a month....from there we will see how it goes...." Methinks somewhere along the line additional fees may be in store....but I'll wait and see. Yes I will be buying.

    Seriously don't know why people are fussed paying 10 quid. Just don't spend as much on one night out and you can have a good boxing channel. 10 quid is fuck all!!

    Totally agree with Tam. When this launched they were talking about 2 live fight cards a week. At £120 a year this works out at £1.15 for each fight card. How is this not fantastic value if you're a boxing fan? I just don't get why some are moaning. It has to make money to survive and £10 a month for what you get seems a steal compared to the same charge for mutv etc...

    I understand that with Sky on top that's more expensive but not £70 each month. For that you are obviously getting a large Sky package. Why not reduce the cost of this and add BoxNation? I guess it depends on your situation but that's what I would do if money was an issue.

    As for the issue of the fights getting cut short Buncy said on his show they were working on this and would fix it. I can only assume this will be fixed by the time they charge.

    Another thread says that sky aren't doing box-office fights either so I think the boxnation channel will have the best fights. I'm on virgin and not bothered about paying 10 quid, it's fuck all when you do work it out. As long as they continue to have good fights whats wrong with paying? We are in a modern world and you have to pay for everything these days. No way its going to ever be free people just need to accept that fact and stop moaning about it. It could be a lot worse than 10 quid a month for what they are offfering IMO. And as long as they bring quality boxing I'll pay it.

    I cannot afford to pay so it does bother me, but I stopped subscribing to sky a while back so it will be from that money I have saved I will be using to watch boxnation, not from the fund that feeds the kids.

    I think I'm right in saying you have Virgin instead of Sky. Can't get Virgin where I live but is it that much cheaper for the equivalent package?

    They are all doing deals now, so it depends on what works for you. I have the bundle phone,internet,XL TV package which includes Europsort and ESPN (and kids stuff like Ben 10 for the children) for £48 + calls which is normally another £10 a month. That works for me but sky do bundle packages too as do BT.
