    Just been on the Boxnation website to check the schedule to find that this fight isn't even listed!? Surely this card is one boxnation should be snapping up, or do you think it will be announced late like some previous US fights?

    It will definitely be on somewhere, too big not to be and BN usually have the big American shows.

    Boxnation reducing their content by the month as the subscripion base declines relentlessly.

    Makes business sense as they would need to double the subscription charges to existing customers to stand still.

    There is clearly no sustainable market for a stand alone Football channel never mind boxing.

    The boxing scene in the future wil be mainly Sky and BT with some shows on Eurosport, Channel 5 and ITV.

    Boxnation is finished :happy

    Why do you think there will be less?

    The European/International Cards are not exclusive to Boxnation and the domestic cards are absolute dross.

    You going to let us in on your vested interest in this? I presume there must be one given your level of dedication to this subject?

    Or are you just a complete weirdo who likes supporting TV channels?

    It's worth noting that NBC and ITV do have loose ties so they may have first refusal on the rights. I think it'll end up on Sky or Boxnation although time is running out.

    Pigfart?

    Look you block up boxing threads with constant talk about TV channels. I am genuinely intrigued as to why it gets you so upset, after all you're all over the boards writing about it so you shouldn't be so sensitive when people notice and comment on it.

    Think you're the one who needs to move on though! Maybe get a job at the radio times or something, you could make a career from your obsession with TV channels.

    Pigfart is a pretty intelligent comeback for PP.

    I had this exact conversation with him, he doesn't like Warden as he thinks he doesn't pay his fighters etc, hence the obsession with BN and spamming of multiple threads.

    Punter doesn't mind streaming PPVs though and ripping fighters off in that way, because that's different.

    You have it the wrong way round you tool - PPV is ripping of Sky Sports Subscribers who have already paid to watch boxing. :patsch

    I have in addition to Sky, I have another satellite system which is legal. This picks up nearly all the European and International cards which are broadcast in a plethora of countries. :deal

    What do you think the masses of foreign people watch in this country - Sky TV? :lol:

    I have been consistent - Fook all PPVs, Fook Warden and Fook Buttnation. :deal

    For boxing on Sky, BT, Eurosport, Channel 5 and ITV - the future is bright. :happy

    For boxing on Buttnation - the future is shyte. :lol:

    I trust the above clarifies the position for the few thickos still subscribing to ButtNation.

    Go back to Sat and I was forecasting an absolute pasting for Martin Murray and delighted in the pocket when he was stopped. :deal

    Also predicted another Smith defeat as the King had not trained for the first fight. :deal

    You have obviously missed my thread about the hottie Jennifer Haben
    singing the Arthur Abraham entrance song In The Shadows :lol:
