    Subscriber base is not an opinion. You either know or you don't. You can speculate, but you need some experience to do so. I don't think Rob works in media or broadcast.

    If you ran a business that was generating an income of over £20million a year after one year.....we would know about it.

    Fair enough in my opinion but I have heard it from more than one reliable source.

    It's really sad being a fan of the sport and saying well done because a big fight got 668,000 viewers.
    25 years ago Barry McGuigan was being watched by 18 million. Shame BBC/ITV no longer want to know.

    Well you're the expert on these matters so I will go with 30k subs because "Jonsey" has heard from reliable sources. When will Boxnation be forced to go off air, in your opinion?

    It's only reliable if it's someone who's seen the books. You might be right and I'm inclined to agree with you, but none of us know for certain.

    1. With all due respect I hope you are wrong, but you do make a good point.

    2. No comment.

    :goodCheers mate, I really hope thats true, but it sounds just too good to be true! I think that is mostly likely a deliberate 'slip' to promote, or it is the peak thye have reached for maybe Haye Chisora?

    I forgot about that!:lol:

    this is true. one thing I know is that the reason why top rank cards havent been on BN latley is due to them not paying for previous cards that were shown.

    Could well be but I believe Tris Dixon stated that BoxNation did better numbers for Haye/Chisora than Sky did with Froch/Bute (668,000).

    I think BBC & ITV get the blame to much. The promoters have to look at themselves.
