    Fat Wank Farren has brought his own channel out :lol: apparently its free for 2 months then its gunna be £10 a month. So we've got another Primetime on our hands ****ing it all up for good honest Sky subscribers.
    If ur already paying £50+ a month for Sky then **** like this is no ****ing good no matter what crap they come out with.

    It suits THEM not us. So what boxing will actually still be on SKY?
    At the end of the day i was happy how things were without these ****ing subscription channels i hated Setanta and i roared with delight when they went bust..i hate Primetime and i wont be buying this box nation either.

    I aint paying more than what im already paying just because Fat Wank has decided he wants to make a few extra quid. Greedy fat *******.

    :bart Il do without thanks:hi:

    If the first couple of months are to go by looks like good value, as we'll be getting more than the 2 fights each saturday we get at the minute, US and German cards Sky may not have picked up, all for less than a Pint each week?

    Depends how the channel goes really. I only get sky sports for the boxing - i dont bother with the wendyball or anything else. If boxnation takes off and ends up having better coverage than sky then I may get boxnation and cancel sky sports. Would end up being cheaper as well. Time will tell. Im not saying it will be better, but lets see what happens.

    Yep I'll be buying it. A tenner is **** all and I don't think (hope!!) its a bad thing to support until we see exactly what its offering.

    I don't pay for Sky but theres no God given right that your £70+ a month Sky subscription entitles you to every scrap of boxing that gets broadcast in the UK. People need to start getting their heads around that fact, times change.

    For real I mean what fights can Frank w4rren really offer us?

    Then when its said and done the big fights you will still have to buy through Prime Time.

    Like I can afford to waste money in this recession......

    Get your facts right man kidda......

    as for laughing at setanta, sound like a right tit lad, and a bit embarrasing!!

    Any channel that brings me boxing gets my support, well done to the team that have spent year making this happen. A tenner, no probs.

    No it doesnt but if comes down to a choice of sky sports or boxnation I'll keep my skysports. Boxing fights can be seen via other means and again the fact boxnation isnt in HD means I wont even consider it.

    I'm a big fan of "other means" myself but, lets be honest, most of the stuff on Sky Sports can be watched by other means just as much as the BoxNation content can.

    Fair does a lot of people seem to find HD important, it doesn't really bother me one way or the other though.

    True but I watch so much other sport that it would take far too long for me to find all that and then watch it. I'm a huge boxing fan but £10 extra on my bill just isnt worth it.

    Its an easier call for me mate. I tend to watch boxing at home and football, mainly Liverpool, down the pub so Sky Sports at £50 (or whatever) a month against a tenner for Boxnation is an easy choice.
