yeah last 1 was froch ward i think. thankfully get my moneys worth with the football on sky. they will have more when their 'season' starts. prob just matchroom and hatton promotions etc
The thing with SkySports is that most of us on here, being sports fans have it as standard. It's the whole reason we took Sky in the first place.
So having SkySports is going to happen regardless. Plus for that cash, you get lots of sports, not just a couple of boxing fights.
The thing is and always will be, life before primetime and box nation, we got all these cards on Sky anyway. Now we have to pay extra for them. Sky didn't show the full card (and always seemed to skip the boxers I actually wanted to watch) but watching Tommy Tibbs beat up Wladalov Krakajakov isn't top of the list when it comes to the fights people want to watch anyway.
Warren is laughing his ass off at the blind faith by many hardcore boxing fans. Don't like it? Cancel. Oh no, wait, you can't, your stuck in a contract.
Could be worse though, we could live in the states where we get chaged £50 for a PPV fight.
See that's a big difference over here, The HBO package varies greatly in cost depending on where you live and there's very little in the way of sports on it, just boxing. There are sports shows, like 24/7 which has been used for NASCAR and Hockey now, not just boxing and Real Sports, a documentary on sports anomolies. So for me I'm basically paying for HBO for just the fights that's $12 a month for me ($144 a year) the PPVs are all at least $55 and they had 5 this last year for a total of $275. So watching all of HBO's boxing legally it cost me $419 for 2011. That's a total of 44 fights on 26 cards. That comes out to be $9.52 per fight or $16.11 per card.Quote:

If they DO pick up fights like....
Rigondeaux v Ramos / Chambers v Lihakovich - Jan 21st
Chavez Jr v Rubio - Feb 4th
Povetkin v Huck / Maidana v Alexander - Feb 25th
....then there should be no complaints whatsoever. If they pick none of this up then its total BS cos theres no reason not to
I subscribed in December mainly because of the Cotto fight. I know they have Leon Williams v Shane Mcphilbion 13th Jan, Kevin Mitchell v TBC 10th Feb, Vitali v Chisora 18th Feb, Cleverly 25th Feb. So I thought I will stay with it for a bit longer.
What happened to the show from December featuring groves and degale (fighting seperately)? Initially it said re scheduled for jan but now there's no sign of it??
yeah where's that boxnation guy now that it's all gone quiet? :chick07mj8:Quote:

in practise it a good idea December was poor and January doe's not look
up to much.? I was going subscribe ,but it will have to improve before I
part with my money.;D
Boxnation are looking for a painter and decorator, to improve Bunce's
studio,£10 Per hour, what colour Pink or Peach would be nice.;D:lolhaha:
I used to life the Bunce show on Setanta but give up on the Boxnation one even before it went subscription. The new show pretty much only discusses Boxnation fights.
totally disagree you clearly dont watch his show. he mentions everything and everyone. hes not got that co presenter hassling him all the time making sure he dont mention the other channels like when they were on setanta. boxing hour for me is more of the same but uncensored. buncey regulary talks about a fight he watched on sky etc, and follows up with 'its my show ill talk about whatever i like' gotta love it. he even uses forums like this or east side and puts peoples views across on the show. email the guy with somehing boxing related and he will get back to you. he will however then put you on his mailing list and try to flog you his book, but hey who wouldnt. buncey for prime minister !Quote:
