    I've just called boxnation and was told that they are unsure of the TV deal at the moment and to try and again tomorrow

    Y'all are best off subscribing to BT and getting BN from that anyway, don't think there's much of a price difference and then you have the privilege of watching - insallah - the GOAT Big Mo Salah volley the Champion's League trophy at Ronaldo's mum's head.

    Hahaha fwanks pulling a corker here if this isn't on box nation. Always banging on about 'the fayuns', 'stubhub & matchroom', 'that's not pay per view' and then he goes and absolutely shafts 'the fayuns' that have kept his sh!t shower of a promotion going ever since sky binned him off. What an absolute joker.

    He's like a cheap ***** fwanky boy. First chance of getting back on main stream TV since sky binned him and he absolutely sticks it right up the ar$e of his beloved 'fayuns'. What a muppet.

    I'd rather watch paint dry than watch any of the fury's fight!

    From what Frank said in his IFL interview it sounds like Box Nation could be no more?

    Said something about the possibility of all shows from September could be exclusively on BT

    It appears to me like BT are trying to rival sky. They’ll have the standard Saturday night shows and then their ppv’s. This isn’t the worst thing in the world, especially not for Frank. He does however have a duty to his loyal supporters who don’t have BT but have Boxnation. Surely BT could be obligated to purchase BN as part of a deal with FW, they could cancel the subscriptions and just keep it for the smaller and foreign shows?

    Boxnation shouldn't be subscription anymore. Just call it BT Sports: Boxing and have all your boxing output on the channel.

    Takes the mick to have BT Sports, BoxNation and now BT Box Office. They need to cleaner with their scheduling.

    Yeah given BT already have UFC, cannot see they will be that interested in showing a standard Top Rank card alongside that at 3am in the morning?

    Frank saying PPV in September. Probably just a huge card with all his fighters and not one massive fight.

    They would need a BT Boxing or Boxnation channel to show them because otherwise SKY would be able to pick them up cheap and then just absorb all the former BN subscribers.

    Losing all Warren's guys from box nation surely ends the channel.

    5 year deal with BT sport. Seems like last year was a trial and now BT want in fully. Good news for fighters I guess.

    I can't believe anyone is surprised, Boxnation has been on life support since it launched.

    With no TV deal Boxnation kept Warren's shows on TV until a better offer came along, which obviously it did with BT.

    If it wasn't for the Rainham Steel guy the channel would've disappeared a long time ago, and when he died it was only a matter of time before the channel followed him into the grave.
