    I've had boxnation since the first month it was released and watched every big fight that's been on their, if skysports or someone can get the fights I don't mind but if they aren't gonna be shown I'd miss boxnation

    I still dont understand why they dont have a free preview show the night before a bill setting up fights, showing weigh ins and interviews with the fighters. Also, on quiet weeks why dont they see what small hall shows are on and pick one to cover. Im not saying go the whole hog but just have a camera there and have the commentators in a studio somewhere.

    Where would wazza's fighters likely be shown if anything did happen? Obviously not Sky.

    They barely even do the fight ring entrances I doubt they can get the weigh in and stuff, its kind of unorganised even them in the studio don't know when the fighters are gonna come to the ring they just randomly put itt on and one of the fighters is already in the ring (international fights)

    Love BN, but they need more British/Euro cards. I don't want to sit in every weekend and stay up all night to watch boxing, I want some at 9pm on a Fri/Sat night!

    Does anyone know if foreign domestic cards that are televised in their country could be obtained cheaply and given English commentary relatively easily?

    I also reckon they need a KOTV style show each week with talking heads, a couple of highlights, news etc. maybe a recent big fight to headline on freeview? the endless "Dawson vs Hopkins" "Demarco vs Broner" doesnt look good if it was a casual fan having a look. They'll be expecting a lot more original programming to justify a whole channel.

    I'd miss it more than the starvation rations being dished out by Sky.

    I would i mean lets weigh up the few options we have and you can see that none of them come close to the content of Boxnation, Ok so they don't get every fight and that has pissed me off a few times this year however they have had quite a few good cards this year and made seeing certain fights much easier at least for me

    While they definitely have some improving to do i think that without them Irish and British fans would be MUCH worse off without it, maybe even more than they realise.

    Me!

    What kind of stupid question is this.

    There's constant boxing on constantly!

    Today i was just chilling out watching boxing, after i did my work.

    And yesterday..? I enjoyed watching Berto vs Gurerro sp*

    Even tonight i was cracking up over the "Bunce Boxing Hour", i was cracking up over Steve Bunce wearing his flat cap and acting strange.

    Porkypara,agree with you.A fella we all know said it wasnt even the price of a pint a week.Never said a truer word,though I expected it to go up quickly and significantly.And it hasnt(so far).Cant see how any fan can not have it,unless circumstances are pretty dire,in which case Im sorry for them.Its almost worth it for the Bunce hour alone.The price is right,hope it stays that way.

    Yeah it's class! love taping the international fights then gettin up at 7am with the young en to watch them. Same will be happening with Cotto this wkend!

    I'm not really very good with computers as well so don't really know how to streem the fights and its our lasses lap top and she says you get virus's from **** like that so that ones out the window. would only be able to catch the fights which are allowed on youtube and sometimes ya cant get them for months after the fight

    I would definitely miss it. £10 a month in the grand scheme of things is nothing. I would prefer to have Boxnation than have the £10 I spend on it each month.
