    Very irritating to see this in the listings for BT Sports on Saturday night/Sunday morning. So not only do we have to pay for Sky Sports & Boxnation, its looking like shelling out more a month for BT Sports!

    Does anyone have any info if BT Sports/ESPN will be taking all the Premier Boxing Champions fights? If so it might be a good idea to cancel Boxnation seeing as the Klitschko vs Fury fight wont also be on there.

    And as a BT subscriber for over 2 years it's well overdue this (although I don't subscribe to them for boxing)

    think BT should just buy boxnation, and add their content to their usual sports channels, it'll probably attract a lot more subscribers and hopefully a sky vs bt battle will encourage more competitive cards and not the mismatches which are common on non ppv cards

    Someone other tha Dragon Punch, Terminator X and tdf1974 still subscribing to Butt Nation :lol::lol:

    Butt Nation of no interest to 99.9999% of the UK population - it's target market :happy:happy

    Butt Nation is the equivalent of a dedicated UK football channel only showing the conference games plus International games from Greece and Bulgaria.

    It is finito :happy:happy

    I've thought this for a while- it is a decent enough channel to buy but desperately needs the marketing might of a big player behind it.

    the marketing is poor, there's a world title fight in 3 days with Flanagan, and nobody really knows its happening.

    paying 12quid per month for BT and boxnationn is too much. there's not enough decent british fights on, Lee vs BJS is probably the best fight since eubank jr vs bjs last year. Paying 15ish for both if the channels were together would be more worth it especially with champo league + premiership games, they could even throw in a PPV if they get a big fight.

    BT going up to £20-odd for next season, wouldn't even say package the two but have some of BNs stuff live on a BT channel along with BN makes sense

    Considering porter vs Broner was on sky sports it seems like each PBC event is fair game for all broadcaster's.

    I have continually stated that all fighters seriously lose profile on Butt Nation as 99.99999% of the UK public have zero interest in the channel.

    The channel is a dead duck floating and the Fury fight has now resulted in a big turd dropped on it from a sumo wrestler in a tree above the lake.
