Box Nation - Sky Channel 456

[Phillips]

Hi guys,

BoxNation is a brand new boxing channel that has exclusive rights to show some of the UK’s biggest fights, as well as showing classic fights and the latest boxing news.

As of December BoxNation will become a subscription only service, and will be available for just £10 a month. The date on which the subscription fee is introduced will depend on whether you are a Sky or Virgin Media subscriber, or you plan to watch the online service through the BoxNation website.

In the meantime, you can sign up to our mailing list to be in with a chance of winning a pair of tickets to a spectacular night of boxing at Wembley on Nov 5th. You’ll receive updates on upcoming fights and exclusive boxing news.

Visit boxnation.tv for more information.

Thanks,

BoxNation

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.

When will it be on Virgin?

Do I still have to pay as I am on the XL package?

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.

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.

How many people are takeing sub's, to this channel and how many sub's do you need for it to carry on?

Frank warren said they need at least 100,000 subscribers just to brake even next year but I can't see them getting 25,000. If it was a free Chanel they would get millions of viewers for big fights and attract new fans into the sport of boxing but not if people have to pay for it.

The same could be said about Amir Khan not going on a mainstream free channel, he chooses the immediate money over any long term benefit of prestige, being remembered and getting longer term endorsements when he retires.

Well, seeing as we actually have a reprasentative of the channel on here I feel duty bound to tell them that Bunce is annoying!

Yes hes a character but so was Gadaffi!

That Mr angry bullshit he did when Toney said come the end of the fight that hed see Lebedev again. I honestly thought he was going to get angry about the Russian presenter basically taking the piss out of Toney but no, it was about the incredulence of a man who has been on or near the top of a sport for over 20 years refusing to admit hes done! I thought that was thoughtless and classless. Bunce in my eyes has done nothing to be so judgmental and have his opinion heard.

I remember him grovelling and acting like a sycophantic little kid when Hopkins was at a photo shoot for the Calzaghe fight and he started kicking off!
