    From what I understand in the USA you got to pay around $50 for 1 PPV event.

    For a £10 over here you get a months boxing for that.

    You cant even get 4 pints of larger in the UK for £10 today.

    did a poll on this not so long back. I have finished with paying extra for channels so am saying no


    though someone had a good point saying if there was to be no more ppv then maybe its worth it - used to pay for 4 or so a year anyway.

    But if they going to be scattered over sky, primetime and boxnation then fuck that

    I'd certainly pay for it if it was offered in US. I think BoxNation is one of the greatest programs created for UK tv.

    I have to settle for a BoxNation stream here but that's good enough cuz the quality is great.

    I hear primetime have got Marquez vs Pac.

    If thats the case then all sky have got is prizefighters and Froch vs Ward. Is it worth the subscription when I can watch it on a stream? Wont bother with box nation cuz everytime I try to record a fight on that channel it messes it up and you cant even complain at their website.

    If Boxnation keep up their current output of fights (and quality of fights) then, if you're a big boxing fan, its a no brainer of epic proportions to subscribe. To anyone moaning about the cost (I have seen people moaning around various places), seriously how much entertainment do you want for a tenner over the course of a whole month?

    As I do not have sky I will get it especially for the Cotto fight, I wanted the Manny fight too.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I want it on Virgin too, as I also get to watch ESPN with my package.

    It's not so much the £10 a month on its own though. For what they're showing that isn't bad at all, if you take that by itself. You have to factor in Sky as well which is like £70 a month. If boxing was the only sport I watched on TV then it would I'd subscribe 100% and just drop Sky, but as I watch a lot of a football and various other sports, I don't really fancy paying extra money on top just for boxing. Especially if Primetime are going to keep nipping in and picking up odd fights- like Pacquiao-JMM III - and charging £14.95 for them. It just adds up and becomes too much.
