Subscribing to Boxnation?

I can understand people moaning about Primetime, Im one of them but I can't understand why people criticise Boxnation :huh It is value for money IMO.

 

The schedule for December:
December 3rd
Live from Helsinki, Finland
The WBA World Heavyweight Championship
Alexander Povetkin vs Cedric Boswell
European, WBA and WBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight Championships
Robert Helenius vs Dereck Chisora
The WBA World Welterweight Championship
Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito
The WBA World Lightweight Championship
Brandon Rios vs John Murray
Mike Jones vs Sebastian Adres Lujan
Pawel Wolak vs Delvin Rodriguez

December 9th
WBO Inter-Continental Super-Middleweight Championship
James DeGale vs Jose Maria Guerrero
Commonwealth Super-Middleweight Championship
Championship bout to be advised...
Billy Joe Saunders vs TBA

December 16th
WBO Inter Continental Lightweight Championship
Stephen Ormond vs Carl Johaneson
Irish Middleweight Championship
Gary O’Sullivan vs Tommy Tolan
Irish Cruiserweight Championship
Ian Tims vs Shane McPhilbin

So we have December the 3rd, great...but then Degale v Jose Maria Guerrero, Saunders v TBA, 3 fights that really won't get me that excited...

If they would add the Kameda card and one of the 2 major Dec. 31st cards then fine, but 3 shows on "the home of boxing"...come on we need more and we need quality. If they are only promising those 4 cards and asking us to stump of for a 6 month subscription...then I'm wary.

 

You know, a lot of posters have it right. We should all pay Sky £30-40 a month for showing very little dedicated boxing coverage in a way that really pisses us off, and ignore a channel that might provide us the fix we actually want.

It's logical!

 

Because that costs a lot!

 

No one is saying stick with Sky, just that Box Nation needs to get more than they have. At the moment they are looking very skeleton like in terms of schedule yet they are asking for £60 up front when we really don't know what we'll actually be getting. If it's Enzo v Bums, DeGale v Bums etc then we'll all be complaining that we got ripped off...I'm saying I'll be wary and not subscribe until they have plenty lined up rather than 1 card. There is little point in subscribing until January other than December 3rd.

 

I'll be subscribing. We need to get behind it.

 

Not really sure what people do not understand about this point. We have no idea what boxnation are going to show after december 17th.

 

Thats my take on it. If it fails then fair enough but at least lets give it a go. A poxy tenner for a dedicated boxing channel? C'Mon lads!!:bbb

 

For a fraction of the price, it's showing a wider variety of boxing at domestic, European and international level. Back it or don't but it's on you. I think it looks decent as a line-up for someone like me who only watches boxing.

 

Perhaps because we don't know what fights are going to be shown beyond December 17th?

Just saying...

 

I posted the BoxNation December schedule, heres the Sky one:
Fri 2 WBA Middleweight title
Felix Sturm v Martin Murray
9.45pm Mannheim, Germany

Sat 3 British Light-Middleweight title
Prince Arron v Brian Rose
8.00pm Robin Park
Wigan

Sat 10 British Light-Welterweight title
Ashley Theophane v Nigel Wright

WBA Super/IBF/WBO H'weight titles
Wladimir Klitschko v Jean-Marc Mormeck

WBA & IBF Light-Welterweight titles
Amir Khan v Lamont Peterson

Sat 17 WBC/WBA Super-Middleweight titles
Carlo Froch v Andre Ward
Welterweight contest
Kell Brook v Luis Galarza


Hmm...tough to see who has the better line up...

 

Yet you are happy to sign up to a 6 month contract whilst only know what you are getting for 1/2 of a month?...thats a bit risky...

 

How are they expected to pick up fights when there is **** all scheduled past December?
