    They did no go in for the cluster of Japanese cards around end of December
    The Ortiz WBA Interim not picked up
    David Haye went to Dave
    Wilder gone to Sky
    The Feigenbutz card this Saturday not picked

    No live action between 20 December & 21 January

    The Home of Boxing needs some tenants

    apart from haye & wilder i wouldn't have watched the rest. Agree they should have picked a few of these up. From 22nd onwards they have quite a few good cards

    Would have been nice to have some of the Asian cards or pretty much anything else to be honest. This is a typically quiet part of the year though so I'm not too fussed

    Cue "THIS IS THE END TIMES FOR BOXNATION, FRANK IS DONE FOR" etc

    January is mostly dead anyway for boxing due to 'fighters not wanting to train over christmas'

    Annoying for fans but chest la vie its the way it is

    It's utterly pathetic that a boxing channel for whom their only remit is to show live boxing are failing to do so.

    ****-poor channel.

    I am not a hater wanting the channel to go bust. I want it to grow, but they need to increase the content

    I like Boxing Matters, but it stopped apart from the 2 specials - end of year review and promoters special. The promoters edition was really good have could have filled an hour

    Eurosport seem more savvy about get small shows and fights from around the world

    it's been the same for the last few years and they've survived. They also said that they forecast profits by Q1 2017, not sure the reason for the turnaround though

    I think this is the end for Boxnation, Frank's done for!!!

    Actually, I have been a subscriber from the start, I'm a fan of the channel and hope it stays on air for a long time yet.

    The money from BJS fighting GGG would certainly help
