    Just searching Boxnation on google and saw a thread on another forum talking about same subject.

    One guy said a rumor is that he could go with ITV as well.....(Big Fights on one/Standard on another?)

    Not my opinion just saying..

    Two things:

    Will it be available on Top-Up TV, BT Vision and Virgin?
    Will it have online streaming and on-demand services?

    If no to any of these, it's a waste of time for me and millions of others who refuse to pay for Sky's overpriced service. It also doesn't suit me if I'm constantly travelling.

    I Think Boxnation will become a subscription channel, so us fans will probably have to shell out about a tenner a month, as none of FW fights are PPV worthy IMO.

    Not got a cat in hells chance of it being on main ITV, even i it is on ITV 2 3 or 4 it is very promising as casuals will be able to tune in then, and will not miss their usual prime time shows.

    It would make sense to have a deal with ITV or Channel 5 and to use Boxnation as a subscription or PPV outlet on top of that deal. Using only an obscure channel to distribute the fights won't work. Primetime's in a bad enough position but this will be even worse unless VVarren can get terrestrial TV on board as well.

    It does seem a strange but I think the internet boxing promotion experts should refrain from calling it an idiotic move. Fwank has been the No. 1 promoter in Britain for quite some time, he knows what he's doing.

    Eddie Hearn will definitely benefit from it though. He must be licking his lips at the news.
