    Bit weird then i suppose. Not as if he couldn't have answered any of those questions himself by doing a little research of his own i suppose.

    The HD thing is irrelevant really as PK says. As long as the quality is not dodgy internet stream quality, then it's all good. HD will just cost more anyway.

    As a side pint, i really do think they need to pick up quickly on the domestic action. Pretty thin on the ground recently.

    Well worth a tenner. What I like is that their shows start early and they show a lot of undercard fights live. Bunce's show is excellent as well.

    Bunce's show IS good, but i honestly think that the format for the setanta show was far superior. Let's honest, boxers playing a game of jenga etc etc is scrapping the barrell. It would be good if it had a bit more of an organised format, with an anchor like Andy Kerr. The fact that andy has not had a look in is quite strange IMO

    HD is a big difference in quality but if you're a boxing fan and you have sky then you should have Boxnation, HD or not. And that's the end of it.

    I don't pay for sky, i find their fights using "other" methods. they are a highly profitable organisation, who deserve to get ****ed over by the likes of me watching their **** for free. However, i pay for Boxnation, as the station does need support. £10 ain't a lot. I know what people think of Wazza, but his fighters ain't getting anywhere near sky or terrestrial anytime soon so they need a platform to fight on and get exposure so i don't mind doing my bit, plus boxnation show good international cards that sky can't be arsed showing, which shows their contempt for the hardcore fan.
    HD is great for films and corrie. I can by without it on boxing to be honest.

    I agree with a lot of this. Do you have the online sub?

    well worth a tenner of anyone's money

    decent run up till christmas guess more be added

    one thing with bunce's show,why do ringside seem to get anyone on, even if they fight on boxnation,where as on boxnation, a thirty second phone call to someone on sky for example is what they get at most

    It's great, do it!
     
  9. That's because Sky have a bigger budget and pay fighters to appear, pay their travelling expenses, etc. Bunce has up and coming fighters who will appear just for the publicity.

    Boxnation is good for £10 per month (although I wasn't happy with the £10 registration fee)

    I don't mind the lack of HD, but I subscribe to the online service and to be honest the stream quality isn't great. It varies between watchable and **** poor.

    Overall though, Boxnation is decent enough, especially if you don't have Sky. If anybody is in doubt, then just pay £15 for one fight with Primetime. They set the benchmark for how a crappy boxing channel does things, and then try Boxnation. Different league.

    And our Lord and Saviour "Fresh" Eddie Hearns won't allow his fighters, for example to appear on the show. Petty and ridiculous

    Not really. He's really good like, but that must come at a cost. There's a reason why pretty much all of their non-domestic shows have the Bunce/Lillis duo presenting.
