Boxnation schedule

Anyone seen this on the website? It's a shocking lineup for £10 a month.

I thought it was quite good when it was free but then they took the rather odd decision to begin charging in December, An obviously quiet month; basically they wanted £10 for Cotto!

I thought I'd hang fire until the new year but this isn't going to make me subscribe either. BTW I suppose everyone will be expected to pay £10 in August too!

Won't be long until Frank returns to Sky/ITV with his tail between his legs. I can only imagine what is stable of fighters think about their exposure.

box nation is a joke. they promised 1 or 2 live cards a week. they've got a full month with no boxing or any new content whatsoever. and i subscribed before they even started charging. ive contacted them about it and there only excuse or reason is that its a quite month. i for one am not happy. i dont care if its quite over xmas. they shouldnt chage for a subscription if theres no content

Havent seen the schedule. Whos fighting next?

Dont think Ive watched anything on there since Cotto vs Margarito. All it shows it repeats of Cleverley vs that Scouser. Begining to regret subscribing now.

your right its a poor show at the moment. their excuse is theres no boxing happening. they could have bought in some old classics from elsewhere. i could happily watch gatti v ward trilogy again. calzaghe vs lacy, eubank vs benn or stuff like that. instead for a whole month you get repeats of stuff you seen very recently on the same channel.

But that's the odd thing: Why begin charging during a quiet period?!

For your ten pounds in January:

Leon Williams v Shane McPilbin
&
Derry Matthews v Emillano Marsili

But don't worry Clev is fighting an unranked fighter for his World title soon!

i know, they showed plenty of decent fights for free before encyption. id have paid straight away. im sure it was just to generate interest but for me they could have spent money on advertising. i feel like non-paying customers have had a better deal than paying customers. even this month of repeats they have still got half of it on freeview. if you arent subscribing you can still watch half of it. work that one out?

Because hardcore boxing fans would pay it anyway. Which they did.

A still think it's pretty gd for tenner a month.far enough the next month or two pretty shit but at least we r gonna c some boxing that if it wasn't for boxnation we wouldn't c.it's gd getting the full undercard aswell seeing some ov the young up and coming guys.in march should hopfully c Mitchell,burns,maybe john Murray if he's healed up plus hopfully a few shows from the states.

Stop complaining..what you idiots should have done is wait for a half decent schedule...say March time and then subscribe...you get me!!!

job biscuit (not rocket science fella's)!!!

eh eh!!!

lets use a poor analogy you may understand. Say pizza hut are doing a deal and promise you 1 or 2 pizzas a week if you pay them 10 pound per month. you cant loose right? (better than dominos 2 for tuesday) how would you feel if one month you never got your 4 - 8 pizzas, infact you never even got 1 for the whole month, not even garlic bread. but instead they sent you a picture of the guy making one of your pizzas last month and said ' sorry mate its not pizza season , thanks for your ten spot! hope you enjoy looking at a picture of a pizza you ate last month. you get me ?

Aw shit am so fucking stupid a thought u had to pay for sky sports! Didn't realise it wos free now!also didnt know they had started showing the full udercard silly me!lol

lol i know, my sky bills 75 quid a month for full hd package with espn. without multiroom or phone and bb included now another 10 for BN. used to do premier sports but the boxings too infrequent.

A know m8 sky is the big rip off! Especially for boxing.boxnation is getting pelters on here but let's look at wot sky is offering think al theyve got scheduled is David price v big fat John at the end ov the month.

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.

They better pick up some international fights that are on in Jan/Feb otherwise they are taking the piss showing only stuff Sky would have previously shown anyway.

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??

;D

By the look of it Boxnation, will have deliver the fight's or it will fold
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 !

Are you in love,I hope both of you are Happy.;D:excited:

I gave up after three shows, perhaps it's got better (especially as Boxnation haven't shown any fights!) I watched it the day after the Marq/Pac controversy and they barely mentioned it.

Boxnation Twitter Account appears to suggest they gave signed exclusive contract to show HBO Wirld Championship Boxing.

I've been thinking the same thing, I subscribed and since have been very disappointed. It has a minimum subscription time of 6 months too :(
