Box Nation - Sky Channel 456

[ross]

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.

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.

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!
