How the he'll can u start to charge people for this one sport when I already pay 60 pounds a month for a sky sports package. If this was a free view Chanel u could expect to get millions of viewers for good fights but charging 10 pound a month I not going to attract more than 25,000 subscribers. Boxnation has no chance in the world of working and it is never going to attract new people into this sport by charging to watch it. I love boxing and I won't pay this extra money for something that I'm already paying for sky sports, think I'll just have to watch prizefighter from now on and Tyson fury on Chanel 5. Hopefully they realise this ain't going to work and keep it as a normal tv Chanel. We all pay out tv licence and a lot of people have sky sports and this I expensive enough.

Phillips cancel the sky, then you will afford it. Their boxing is poor and the football is shite.

Hi Phillips,

We’re sorry to hear you feel this way. The reality is that if we didn’t make BoxNation a subscription service, we wouldn’t be able to offer the premium content that will be on the channel.

We believe that compared to paying to watch fights on a one-off basis, £10 a month is good value.

Thanks for your feedback.

Can you order this channel when you dont subscribe to sky at all?

I stopped paying for sky about 2 years ago as all I wanted to watch on it was boxing and the simpsons. They stopped eurosport being free and then setanta came along and there wasnt any free boxing at all. Id pay for a channel dedicated to boxing but would resent paying sky anything for fuck all.

I hate having to watch and read about shitty boring football but thats what makes up 80% of sport coverage in the papers and on poxy sky! Its pathetic, they cover shitty little regional teams and a shambles of a national team that wouldnt beat the top regional team!

Britain as a nation has world champion boxers in a sport whee they risk their life every time they compete but theyd rather watch a bunch of overpaid sissy cry girls that are more famous for sleeping with pensioner prostitutes and their best mates missus than any actual sporting acomplishments.

For as crap as Audley has been, Id bet he would do better in a game of pro football than Britains best footballer (who is that? Is that like being the best at maths in a special needs class?) would in a pro boxing match.

Hi Ross,

You will soon be able to access the channel in two additional ways;

1. Through a Virgin Media package - we expect to be live on Virgin Media cable within a few weeks.

2. Through an online viewing subscription with BoxNation - date of launch to be confirmed.

Please check our website - boxnation.tv/ for updates.

I can understand that u want to make money out of it, but I can't see it working to be honest. We don't have to pay extra for golf, football, rugby or tennis so why charge to watch boxing!!!!!

Er! If its on sky of course you fucking do!

I dont have sky any more because it didnt show specifically enough of what I wanted to watch. If I can buy one channel that shows exactly what I want to watch then ill buy it.
