    Really like Boxnations coverage so far............

    Hardly any adverts (about 6 minutes in the first 3 hours), very little time in between the fights, not too much analysis, and it's good to see the fights in the right order building up to the main event.

    And..............

    I like Fearon, think he is a funny guy :lol:

    Same. Nice to see them trying a new set up with an experienced presenter and putting Buncey on the couch. I thought they would put an advert in between Canelo Mosley and Floyd Cotto but I don't remember them doing it. I'm happy to pay my 10quid if it means less adverts cos adverts ****ing ruin the flow of a fight. I don't want a new eco friendly car, I want to watch the fight!

    No they didn't mate, infact I think there was only about 5 or 6 adverts in the entire 10 1/2 show, really good.

    I thought Jim Rosenthal did a good job, and as much as I like Buncey I agree that I think it worked well with him on the couch.

    All in all a very good night, some cracking fights, well presented, and I think to any BN virgins it would have presented as a good advertisment :bbb
     
  4. Jim Rosenthal is a class act. The consumate professional.

    The lack of adverts is brilliant, I think I'm right in saying that sky have between round adverts even on PPV which is a joke.

    Well done boxnation..

    It would be nice if they didn't give away results of fights on other channels happening at the same time.

    Production quality seems to have improved a bit. Probably just as cheap, but they have had time to work on it. Bunce needs a new intro to the "hour" however.

    I'm not sure "hardly any adverts" is a good thing. BoxNation needs to make $ or it will go down.

    Thats a good point actually..............

    Ok, I could live with more adverts if it helped the channel, but to not have them between rounds is a definite plus for me, I really hate the way Sky cram them in, I want to see the replays!!:bbb
