    Surely a chance of more live boxing on TV. With an MTK show and a BT being on the same night both televised. Great for recording one and watching in the morning.

    Typically underhand from Frank. Doesn't showcase his fighters on his channel.

    BT must have him by the balls

    Dev Sahni who does the boxnation podcast and runs the Twitter accounts comes across as a genuine guy, but it's quite amusing watching him criticise matchroom on Twitter but then trying to sell this shambles of a product.

    Been with Boxnation from the start and rated it highly as it did bring in many big overseas fights, but I was disappointed and very surprised when the Fury comeback wasnt on Boxnation.
    As a fan who has supported the channel, I felt it was a bit of a knock

    Why is anyone shocked!!!

    Mr ‘I’m for the fans’ only cares about his pocket and his ego..... he’s a snake simple as that and he’s used us subscribers to get his deal now he’s gonna F us off! Let’s hope BT smell the coffee soon and their investment starts to crumble just like his shows.

    Why isn't Koogan quizzing Warren on this?

    I was/am extremely pissed about the situation, but now that I’ve had time to do think about it, I’m more annoyed about the lack of clarity leading up to this point than the actual business decision.

    BN has been an excellent channel which I’ve enjoyed for over 5 years and I’ve found it to be overall good value for money.

    Pretty much all of us knew, it was created as a vehicle to keep Warren in business and that the ultimate goal was for him to survive long enough to bag another big deal and we all knew it was BT that was the land in the ocean he was desperately trying to paddle to get too. Well the old fcuker has got there now and I do like the look at what he and BT are doing especially with the recent featherweight fights/upcoming plans etc so I can’t say that im not happy he’s at this point.

    Point is, We need frank and he needs BT - they’ve obviously put it on him and this is a condition of the deal - so what is he to do?

    I’m still planning to cancel BN and get BT but I’ve got abit of time to consider how to go about it as it’s not till the Windsor Park card where We have the same situation. However, I may have to reconsider depending on this announcement which is apparently due to be made.

    Hopefully it provides the full clarity of the situation, which as I began Is my main beef.

    Kugan mentioned it to Warren prior to the Fury fight and Frank's whole demeanour changed drastically. Kugan got the cues and quickly moved on.

    Outrageous this, only just seen it. So he wants us to pay each month to watch MTK small hall shows and a few big US shows at all hours in the morning?

    Billed as the home of boxing yet no longer showing any big domestic fights in the UK.

    Not sure who is more thick these days - people who continue to subscribe to Boxnation or the cohort of PPV mugs.

    Genuine boxing fans being mugged over time and again by these bankers promoting boxing

    I was annoyed as well before the Fury fight and thinking back to all the press conferences, interviews etc. it was the ommissions that caused the confusion. Saying its BT exclusive is fine but Boxnation comes with some BT packages so is it, or is it not included. This was never explicitly stated. I have been with BN since day one but cancelled, changed my broadband and signed up for the BT package which I am please with. I can see the MTK shows growing over the next few years and the overseas fights are great.
