    The domestic action is far too infrequent and is mainly very boring Buglioni and Skeete type fights.

    Boxnation is of little relevance to the boxing fan as most of the International cards are broadcast in numerous countries.

    These bouts can therefore be viewed legally for free on non sky satellite systems or viewed legally or non legally on the internet for those without the additional satellite equipment.

    The channel somehow limps on with the continual loss of subscribers and no queue of new subscribers waiting to sign up.

    It has done well to keep going but must be burning a hole now for the backers.

    To be honest mate - Boxnation is so insignificant to the UK Boxing fan now that it is not even worth tapping the keyboard.:deal

    The home of boxing has deteriorated into the homeless cardboard box of boxing. :good

    Would you say it's of little relevance to people who are unable to stay up until 4am to watch some dodgy stream on-line and would rather watch a repeat the next morning/evening with some analysis too?

    I see your point with regards to the satellite systems, but equipment like that isn't available to a lot of people.

    I think it's a great channel anyway, hopefully if they go underthe pan someone with some more bulk behind them can at least get the fights shown in a similar format. I mean ****, if Sky can have a channel dedicated to F1 then I really can'y see why they couldn't do the same for boxing

    I speak for myself and the facts are plain to see with the continual cycle of decline spinning round faster by the month as follows:

    Loss of subscribers = less domestic action = further loss of subscribers (and it continues)

    The channel is an absolute irrelevance now and if it was the home of boxing, then there would be at least a fight of the calibre of Bellew v Cleverley or Fury v Chisora every month and a Froch v Groves fight at least 6 monthly.

    You get what subscribers pay for and unfortunately too many Buglioni and Skeete fights at the Pork Hall is all you need to know about the success of the homeless cardboard home of boxing.

    Boxnation is a total irrelevance now.

    Sky have an F1 channel as it gets ratings, groves v rebrasse topped sky sports 2 ratings for that week with 176k viewers, Singapore Grand Prix the following day got just under a million, in fact qualifying got over 500k viewers, so there is a fer far bigger market for f1 than boxing, quigg got less than 52k

    BARB caveats apply but Boxnation's daily reach a couple of weeks ago was 4k and it's weekly reach is just 24k. Compare this to something like Premier Sports which has a daily reach of 22k and a weekly reach of 93k. It's exceptionally difficult to see how Boxnation has more than 75k subscribers unless a lot of people subscribe and don't watch it.

    There was an article a year ago which said they had 120k subscribers which I reckon is about right -30/+10k
