Actually making me miss box nation / ITV covering us cards didnt last long and I thought premier sports where going to pick a couple up ?
Top Rank: Jose Ramirez vs Viktor Postol Standalone Pay-Per-View $9.99 about 7.50 uk , its not bad really for a 6 fight card , less than half of eddies PPV price or you cab subscribe monthly for $4.99 , 3.75 uk , they've done two cards this month. • Jose Ramirez 139.8 lbs vs. Viktor Postol 139.7 lbs (Ramirez’s WBC/WBO Junior Welterweight World Titles — 12 Rounds) Judges/Referee: Tim Cheatham, Dave Moretti and Steve Weisfeld/Russell Mora • Arnold Barboza Jr. 139.2 lbs vs. Tony Luis 139.4 lbs (Junior Welterweight — 10 Rounds) • Elvis Rodriguez 143.9 lbs vs. Cody Wilson 142.9 lbs (Welterweight — 6 Rounds) • Raymond Muratalla 135.4 lbs vs. Cesar Valenzuela 134.9 lbs (Lightweight — 8 Rounds) • Gabriel Muratalla 119.6 lbs vs. Justice Bland 118.7 lbs (Bantamweight — 4 Rounds) • Javier Martinez 159.5 lbs vs. Rance Ward 162.9 lbs (Middleweight— 6 Rounds)
Yeah, I'm afraid the good old days are over regarding US boxing on UKTV. Top Rank and PBC on a PPV app and Golden Boy and Matchroom USA on Dazn app. It's a bit sh1t, isn't it ? In saying that, it goes like this. As long as I can remember, in the multi channel world, it's feast followed by famine. I think the next feast is a long time off in this environment though( the PPV buys on Fite Tv must be dire though ).
The ITV PBC link up was odd really, they didn't give it a long enough chance to build an audience. I thought at the time it was the beginning of ITV stepping back into boxing but it looks now like they just picked up some fights when the rights were cheap. Although maybe they didn't get the ratings from those few nights to justify keeping it going?
Fights at 3-4 o'clock in the morning are never going to get large enough audiences in Blighty to justify paying rights m8.
I absolutely loved Boxnation until old Wazza did the dirty and left for BT.... PEople on here used to slag BN off for fun when we were getting all the best USA PPV shows and UK shows for £10 a month...i miss it badly
i loved boxnation as well. ahead of the game, ironically by a dinosaur in warren. i also love the fitetv top rank subscription because they show the whole card for 4,99 a month and top rank put a lot of shows on. Not all of them good, but normally they have at least one good fight on the card
Do you get all the fights from PBC/Top Rank - anyway to rewatch the fights on the service. Really cant be arsed to stay up on weekends to catch the fights live.
