    How can anyone justify Haye-Fury or Froch-Ward on PPV when Mayweather and Canelo isn't on PPV?

    Boxing fans need to back BoxNation, They are trying to get rid of PPV prices.. A premium boxing channel showing the best fights around the world at an affordable price.

    I urge everybody to subscribe, Don't be suprised if Pac Man-Bam Bam and Bradley-Marquez are added to the schedule.

    Easy to put on big fights when all you are doing is paying for the privilege of showing them.

    If you think there will be no premium for the huge UK shows when Frank eventually decides to put one on you are in for a shock.

    He's fought a bunch of nobodies, so now because a Haye fight is on the card he deserves millions?

    Engage your brain and then type.

    It's down to the greed of the boxers and the broadcasters ultimately, a fight becomes ppv when they believe that enough people will shell out for it to make everyone a lot of money. Haye vs Fury would be one of those that sells to the casual fan that love a big domestic hw showdown as haye vs chisora proved.

    That's the reality of the situation and you don't have to buy it so you have the option of being no worse off, if you don't think fury or the fight itself is good enough for ppv then fair enough don't buy it. If you disagree on principle or on balance don't feel it's worth the money then watch it at a pub or a mates house or find another way!

    When did i say that Fury has beaten a raft of top fighters??
    I dont even really like the fcuker but the build up and fight will be entertaining and people will want to see it which is why the fighters and other money men involved will be paid Millions of pounds... It doesnt matter what they deserve its what they can get....Its called supply and demand...none of us on here have made up the rules... fury and Haye are supplying there labour and customers who want there services will purchase I.e trade - its a business transaction.

    What's hard to understand:?:

    That's still going to equate to one every three weeks when you add in Frank's shows.

    Maloney has more than the Prices. He has three British champions on his shows regularly: Jon-Lewis Dickinson, Kevin Satchell & Darren Hamilton.

    McCloskey will probably go with McGuigan now too.

    Hatton still has Crolla and Vassell I believe, too.

    the more british shows on boxnation the better for me these have been lacking for the best part of a year - great news
     
  13. It's been going 2 years so where's your evidence for this bull**** you peddle


    You are not a boxing fan,if you can't appreciate today's news and this channel then you are just another sky/Eddie Hearn fan
    You don't care about high quality boxing being cheap,you don't care about more British shows being aired with more boxers getting exposure. All you care about is the sky 20 shows a year model and boxing business


    You are most likely on here to provoke reaction and spread the Hearn word


    I am a boxing fan who enjoys sky's limited shows and will grudgingly pay for ppv but love boxnation and its incredibly cheap high output
    I'm not anti Hearn or ****** but idiots like you make me determined to see allegedly return to his position as challenging Hearn even if its based less on promoting and more on televising other domestic and international shows

    I can't see how this is anything but good news for the boxing fan in the UK.
    There isn't the public interest in the sport to make it mainstream and therefore a tentpole sport for Sky to build an evening around on a regular basis.
    If you are a pure boxing fan, and enjoy watching fights every week then boxnation is now looking to provide this service. Whereas over on Sky you'll get occasional cards from Matchroom supplemented with the very occasional big card from the US.
    If Boxnation proves a success, with increase cards, increased subscriptions then Sky will alter their current position towards boxing and will step up their investment.
    If not we'll get regular cards, which we wouldn't have gotten otherwise, on BN and the Matchroom events via the SKY.
    My problem with Boxnation was the lack of domestic weekend cards which we enjoy and have more interest in than cards from Germany, which I'm sure is fine for some purer fans of the sport than myself. This would go someway to rectify that for me personally so I think its a great move for my enjoyment of the sport.
    Both platforms are value for money in my mind, however that is a pure customer decision. In short you don't agree, don't purchase.
    Just need Boxnation HD now ;)

    Vassell free agent.

    Hamilton wont be fighting on Maloney shows after this one if he wins. Satchell with VIP.
