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 ?

[Mattyhitman]

If, like some have stated, boxing is the only sport ya interested in then it's probably a good buy, but if like myself ya watch other sports which Sky cover and have the monoply of then the is no way im paying extra for things that can be streamed or burnt off the next day.

i watch boxing and football and im considering getting rid of skysports and getting boxnation

thing is there are lots of live football games on normal tv, i might even enjoy them more as there isnt as much saturation with sky too

and if there is a big fight on sky i can watch it round my mates

think about that?

[Carl9234]

I was all up for ordering the channel straight away but the 6 month contract has put me off a bit. Im now in limbo about it! Not that it's too much money, it's not bad value if it's guaranteed quality, just a bit worried that once I've signed up the fights won't be great, and I'm stuck paying £10 a month!! The choice of cancelling at any time would be more appealing to me.
