    anyone know if ESPN (uk) will be still showing the Friday Night FIghts through out this year and next? Now iv got sky plus to record it im considering buying it as an extra channel just for that!

    Also anyone know what the deal is with BoxNation channel? At the moment its on my sky package and seems to show past fights from 8pm till 10pm each eveing?

    Cheers for any info

    Can't see why ESPN would stop showing FNF as its an ESPN broadcast anyway.

    ESPN is free for three months if you're getting Sky Sports or if you already have Sky Sports. Just ring them up (or it might work online).

    thanks for the advice guys, i had espn on virgin media but as i couldnt record always missed friday night fights! and some classic fights on at like 4 am. Be well worth getting it now i reckon with sky plus!

    Hopefully this box nation gets going too! At the moment its just repeats! Tonight Joe Calzaghe vs Manfredo!

    but its better than no boxing!

    ESPN show FNF live and repeat the next day. FNF and UFC make it worth the extra £9 per month. Plus the odd decent football game wraps up the package nicely. They also seem to be one of the few channels embracing 3D.

    Theres also ESPN Classic and America. ESPN Classic is good every now and again.

    You get espn classic free anyway.

    I've signed up free for 3 months. I'll see of i watch it enough to justify the extra ££.

    Fnf seems like it's on quite a good run at the moment

    I think ESPN's FNF stops soon and doesn't come back until the new year.

    Yeah, there's only this week and next week I think, and then they are done till January. If you are only having the channel for the boxing, might as well wait till January now before signing up.

    3D is complete shite. Thankfully consumer take-up has been so poor it looks like it's on its way out.
