Box Nation - Sky Channel 456

[Master]

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.

Please check our website - boxnation.tv/ for updates.

Thanks,

BoxNation

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

We expect to be live on Virgin Media cable within a couple of weeks. The channel will not be included in any of Virgin’s packages unfortunately.

That is a shame but if you are showing the Cotto fight then I will subscribe as I do not already subscribe to SKY Sports. How much is Frank Warren getting out of my £10 per month?

I bet your bloody pleased ya can get away with charging for a channel thats been free so far !
Im one customer you will lose if it's not on the XL package on Virgin, sort it out Boxnation, give the public a break, and a xmas pressie, and at least offer it free till the new year?!?!?

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!

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

I have the XL package too and was Box nation would be free on there too. I will get it because of the Cotto v Marg fight and am hoping it carries on showing quality cards they have been showing.

I have sky but dont have the sports package cause i only really like watching boxing or F1, i would pay the £10 a month if it was going to show all the big fights all over the world Like mayweather,cotto,pacman etc but if there just going to show big domestic fights or smaller fights like tony and bute i think ill give it a miss.

[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 !!

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.
