    I think I'm right in saying you have Virgin instead of Sky. Can't get Virgin where I live but is it that much cheaper for the equivalent package?

    They are all doing deals now, so it depends on what works for you. I have the bundle phone,internet,XL TV package which includes Europsort and ESPN (and kids stuff like Ben 10 for the children) for £48 + calls which is normally another £10 a month. That works for me but sky do bundle packages too as do BT.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Thanks, sounds pretty similar to Sky pricing for what your getting. I get the full Sky package plus HD add on and broadband for £60 ish a month. Previously I was on a family pack with just sp1 and broadband and it was £32 a month. Would go back to that plus boxnation if things got tight again.

    Yes get the HD too and the box that records but yes decisions to pay the bills or watch the boxing?

    I know what Tam and the other guys are saying - yes £10 is fuck all and I wouldn't bat an eyelid at paying three times that for a round of drinks on a night out , but with TV its now the principle for me.

    I am not being held to ransom by these different tv companies and channels etc.. just so more money gets pumped into the game and the fighters, footballers can have bigger fucking pay packets . I refuse to get ESPN, haven't paid for a Primetime fight yet and am pretty certain I won't be getting Boxnation.


    Thats the issue guys - not the £10
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    I understand what your saying too mark, but the promoters and tv companies don't give a shit do they? And the only way we can watch legitamate boxing is to pay for it. Annoying as it is, we have no choice.
