    its all down to the quality... and is that £10 a month then another £15 to watch any decent fights via PPV?

    I won't be ripped off because i love a sport... there are other ways to get boxing for free legally, like a motorised satalite dish.

    Haye Vs Klit fight.

    £15 on skyBO or primtime can't remamber
    or
    Free on the german channel Das erst.

    I get both channels with my satalite setup

    apart from America i think the UK is one of the only other countries to have PPV boxing (i could be wrong as i'm not sure about ozland)

    but most big fights can be found on free to air europe channels.

    but if its £10 a month and you don't get your arse slapped with extra PPV's and the fights are good then yeah that is well worth it IMHO

    Here in the States we have enough channels that show boxing for free, and several premium boxing channels, like HBO & Showtime, which also air PPV's. I can't see the need for another "boxing channel" and I sure as hell wouldn't pay for it.

    I don't have a choice as boxing is pretty much excluded here, but I would certainly pay for a boxing channel that covered everything. Would be bliss.

    We are probably heding for a scenario where its all split over 3/4 channels and as said in this thread even a pay channel theres a very very good chance you will still have to pay extra for the big ones

    I pay $20 a piece for showtime and HBO, solely for their boxing. So if this "boxing channel" could guarantee premium quality fights at least once month, i would buy.

    However, I would not pay for a boxing channel that just showed old fights and no new ones.

    Not enough bang for your buck when you compare it to ESPN. Why would I pay for unknowns when I read about a good fight I look for it online.

    Depends on the quality of the fights...but short answer FUCK OATH (you should add FUCK OATH in the poll..just so the aussies can answer with the correct lingo ).

    Id also pay for a MMA channel.

    In America cable packages are so fucked up. I pay almost $30 extra a month for channels other then the basic 150 Comcast offers. That means I get channels like Logo (the gay and lesbian channel) and all sorts of other useless channels just so I can get MLB Network and ESPNews. Seriously. SO if they ever introduced that channel in America, it would likely be grouped into a channel package. You can't buy channels individually here, they are all in packages. So if I ever got The Boxing Channel, I would also have to buy The Knitting Channel, The Kitten Network, Home Shopping Network 7, etc. It would probably run me an extra $30 a month and to get it I would have to have all the channels still like Logo before I was even eligible to get that package. Like Spicoli, boxing is 95% of the reason I pay $20 for JUST HBO (movie channels you can buy individually, not cable networks), so I probably would but I would be getting ripped off in the process. Oh well, as of now downloading fights suits me fine.

    I already have ESPN and stream anything else decent so it'll be the same for this. Any old fights can be downloaded or watched via Youtube anyways. If you ended up paying to watch boxing on all UK platforms god knows how much it'd cost per year for:

    1. Sky
    2. ESPN
    3. Primetime
    4. Premier Sports
    5. Box Nation

    There may be more but it's a bit early to think...
    Time for a brew...
