Box Nation - Sky Channel 456

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.

Will you be on their package like ESPN or do you have to pay seperately?
Will you be on HD?

I'll be subscribing as so far it's seemed really good. Although I worry that soon as figures start struggling frank warren will go to degale-groves re match too soon to get more intrest and the numbers up!

[Carl9234]

I'm guessing the biggest fights will still be shown on ppv on primetime or something like that, but the fights boxnation have been showing so far have been pretty good.

[Fenster]

I wont be paying for it.

They'll be competing with Sky/Primetime for the US fights and I don't even stay up to watch them anymore - I need a morning repeat.

Warren's mob need to be in decent 50/50 fights to make them worth any TV money. That's clearly not possible, so more fights for the bigger names just means more mismatches.

Even the Buncey boxing show has been UTTER shit. Fact.

[Mark TKO]

agreed re the morning repeat - its too much of a struggle these days for Vegas fights especially when the start time of event can vary so much

Primetime's morning repeat is shite - it shows it as live from the night before so you have to go through teh three hour build up again !!

Up to a year or so back I had paid for every ppv fight since they started back in mid 90s or whenever it was. Then decided no more - Khan was the final straw I think when he left sky to be ppv on primetime rather than be on sky sports for free. Pissed me off

Principle now with me and unfortunately 'I'm out' with regards to Boxnation.

If they grow and get all the boxing so there's no split with sky and primetime then I will reconsider - but I just can't see that happening

He was meant to be ppv on Sky so it didn't really make any difference. It only got changed to regular Sky Sports when the undercard fell apart. Khan, rightly so fucked them off.

In regards to Boxnation, i don't think i'll be getting it.

[Mark TKO]

well it still pissed me off. What was supposed to be on undercard that fell apart ?

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.
