Box Nation turning into a joke
This is the schedule for live events on Box Nation :
November 30th Chisora versus some Italian for the Euro title.
7th December Paul Smith versus somebody for the British 168 title.
14th December Juergen Braehmer versus Marcus Oliveira for one of the WBA world light heavyweight belts.
And that's it.
Sky are showing Golovkin versus Stevens next weekend but other than that no British broadcaster has bought any of the upcoming cards from the States or the Manny Rios fight. These fights are the sort of thing BN should be showing if they're serious about remaining in business.
Does anybody know anything about what's going on at BN or if they're planning to actually buy any of these fights?
Re: Box Nation turning into a joke
Warren should have found a better opponent for Chisora, and I don't want to see the mediocre Paul Smith.
But Braehmer-Olivera will be good, and Pulev will probably be on the card.
Re: Box Nation turning into a joke
Agreed I stopped subscribing after the Mayweather fight. Sky has better shows but cost too much. The fact that no one is showing they Manny Pac v Rios fight is a shame.
Re: Box Nation turning into a joke
Boxnation keeps poping up with fights across the states. Wouldnt be supprised to see them get the Donaire card. Ive never understood the hate for boxnation on this forum particularly when people are non sto ppraise for sky. People seem to forget that before boxnation sky showed virtually no fights from the US unless they involved british fights. Further to this they still show fuck all of the undercards while Boxnation get most of them covered. Sky has upped its game since boxnation came along and because of the higher profile domestic fighters on matchroom people seem to think it is better. My pros for boxnation are the pundits are better, the commentators are better (although both are pretty shit), they show more fights per card and its made sky step up their game. Also its only 10 a month versus 40 for sky.

Turning into a joke ? this is the Warren channel. lol
Re: Box Nation turning into a joke
Hatton hasn't had a promotion since he signed with BoxNation yet his fighters have been regularly appearing on Matchroom bills.
The longer it goes without Sky announcing the Pac fight the better news it is that BoxNation will buy it.
Re: Box Nation turning into a joke
Boxnation got the Pac card in Macau, as expected. It is still a fantastic channel
Re: Box Nation turning into a joke
unsubscribed after Broner v Maliganggi. Won't be back
I'm with Smash ;)
Re: Box Nation turning into a joke
They've got Manny Rios but they need to pick up the smaller cards like Garcia/Donaire. I'm going to have to watch that one on a stream.

Idiot - if you have an internet connection you don't need a visa or 2 quid a month you can get all the fights on sky and boxnation for free anyway so guess that makes u the mug. I'm happy payin my 10 a month soni can watch it on my flat screen and being able to record it if I can't watch it live
Ok so you pay your £10 per month for boxnation on top of your Sky sports subscription (yearly..monthly .. whatever ) ... even though you claim you can get it all for free :)
I watch all my sport on flatscreen tv as well but i get sky sports ..boxnation ..showtime and hbo.
Digital quality too plus i dont need to record as the fights are available on demand , add to this the fact i can access all of this 24/7 anywhere in the world on my smartphone, my girlfriends smartphone, laptop, tablet or anyones flatscreen with an hdmi input.
Since you mentioned idiots... how do you pay for your PPV fights?
Mine are inclusive of the peanuts i pay :)
Ive never bought a PPV fight in my life and never will. Haye - Klit was the last one that was PPV and I picked it up on the satelite from a German channel were it was free to air.
I can get it free on a stream but would have to use a laptop. I could hook this up to the TV but as the picture gets bigger the quality diminishes so prefer subscribing for the 10er a month. How do you get all that for 2 a month?
Re: Box Nation turning into a joke
ESPN showed the Carl Frampton fight from Box Nation.
