    Charlie Webster presents a show what is trending on boxing. Sounds like Toe2Toe from Sky Sports

    I don't mean to sound like a crass male but I will probably watch it just because I fancy her

    Why don't they just show live small hall fights rather than talk bollox shows!

    They really should be showing boxing if it's actually happening- why doesn't the York Hall shows get shown on the channel like they did in 2011?

    Doesn't it affect attendances?

    Fair shout but surely they should be selling out York Hall easily anyway? I find it puzzling that Frank promotes shows but doesn't show them.

    As for the new show- I'd imagine it'll be Charlotte with a couple of guests and a few videos. Better than Bunce I'd imagine.

    I agree. She's got the job because she's a woman and they think male dominated sports need women.
    She hasn't got it for her knowledge of the sport and she's not a very good host either.

    Would like to see more fights than talking.

    Boxnation's subscriber base fell off a cliff when most boxers left the fish tank to join Matchroom.

    There is only a small subscriber base so Boxnation can only afford the cheap overseas cards.

    More people watch Women's live football than the Andy Lee v BJS World Title Fight.

    More of the same now for Boxnation subscribers in the year ahead and the fact they cannot even get the David Gaye fight confirms the channel is a dead duck floating.

    Boxnation out of sight out of mind for the British Public and surely the subsidiser will pull the plug soon. :patsch

    Maybe they are pinning all their hopes on BJobSaunders v GGG or the rise to world title level of the VJ and grab Asia market subscribers. Interesting to see their accounts for year and that they reckon they are getting a huge injection of money from investors. Who the F in their right mind would invest in that pile. Anyway good luck to them at least they try.

    The big problem with Boxnation is that is was doomed as soon as BT Sports came along. People may subscribe for that and Sky Sports but not many will pay three subscriptions.

    The lack of quality domestic boxing renders this UK boxing channel useless and the customer base is in a relentless cycle of decline now.

    BJS is a World Champion with next to no profile as the public have no idea who he is.

    The odd diehard will still fork out but these overseas fights can be watched legally on a Satellite system and/or legal streams on foreign TV websites for nearly all foreign fights.

    Cannot see how this channel has a future as it is becoming more pony shyte by the month.
