That is a serious line up. I sincerely hope there are some serious boxing programs on it. Sky have Ringside and ESPN have MMA Live. These are legit must watch combat shows every week. Frank needs to create one that is fronted by someone legit like Buncey and Kerr. Boxing is such a developed, international sport at amateur and pro that I really think there is more than enough footage for core hours every day for many years to come. I would expect every big show to be repeated at least once during the following week.
This makes me feel sick The WBO Interium World Lightweight Title Ricky Burns vs Michael Katsidis The WBO Intercontinental Lightweight Title Kevin Mitchell vs TBA Apart from that great news
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/boxing/3829804/BoxNation-TV-channel-launches.html Says in that article that Buncey's Boxing hour will return and John Rawling and Steve Bunce will commentate on the fights.
Good to see the cruiserweight titles being reunified, hopefully the winners of the two title fights face one another - or am I being overly optimistic, there? Looks as though VVarren will us all hooked on the channel with good free fights, then we'll all hand over our £10 a month when it goes to subscription. Like a drug dealer giving out free samples to kids... I'll be signing up, though, if it stays as good as this. It sounds like they are doing a boxing hour with Jim Rosenthal and Bunce, with no Andy Kerr, unless I am really misunderstanding things...
Call me a cynic but he's going to put good cards on to get everybody to subscribe then slowly lower the quality via his pull outs. But could be good news for his younger fighters, may get them out more often
