Apologies if I'm a bit late on the uptake with this but I've just heard that this fight is gonna be on Box Nation - something to do with our favourite Frank Warren..... Is this a PPV channel?? Not heard much else - although I was thinking it weird yesterday when I couldn't find you was showing it. FW press conference around midday today I think.......
Is it going to be viewable on Virgin??Quote:

Talksport are covering this this morning and just heard YES it will be on Virgin!!!! Free to view!!!! Venues including York Hall etc..... Hopefully I've badmouthed FW too soon.... Let's see..... FW on Talksport tomoz as well...watch this space....
That is brilliant news. Surely if they make it free they can guarantee viewers which will make advertisement slots more expensive!! Make some other sod pay for it I say!Quote:

Hey - no worries. I just hope this is as it sounds at the moment - apologies if I have this wrong - just quoting what I've heard on Twitter and Talksport..... Fingers crossed.....Quote:

hang on, its a tenner a month?
Just read Boxing News and it basically says it launches later this week and it's first live bout will be Liam Walsh and Paul Appleby on the 30th September. It says that it will start out as a free channel but will change to a £10 a month subscription towards the end of the year.
Got to admit I'll probably end up getting this. They'll be screening amateur tournaments as well, and they're bringing back Bunce's Boxing Hour.

We will end up being worse than america, expected to pay for every boxing event even the crap ones.Quote:

Steve bunce back...fuck sake.
I do think that this will be a good channel and I will be paying 10 quid for it.
Thought I was gonna slate this.
Looks bloody good.
Deffo worth it on the site it says 10 quid a month but I thought it is free at first?Quote:

Sadly, having read the press release, I am going to have to join too. I've just sent my cancellation email to Premier Sports as I can't see what they are going to show anymore: So I'm only £2 a month extra on the hole.
As long as they continue with good output from good quality worldwide shows I think this is actually very good value. Thats only £2.25 a week or summat. I wonder when the channel will start charging for viewing it.
Do we think theres a chance things like Khan and Mayweather fights (stuff showed on Primetime for £15 a pop) will be picked up by Boxnation?
UFCs crap, get rid of that and youll be able to afford box nationQuote:

I love ufc just as much as boxing. Dont know how you can dismiss mma when it uses al types of martial arts. Very sweet. However I do get bored when they just hold each other down. They should bring K1 to UK. That would be fuc*ing sweet>.Quote:
