    I know most of us Boxing fans like Boxnation for the overseas fights rather than the UK shows but if ****** is no longer in the position to put on decent shows will Boxnation keep going if all it has is the overseas cards? Subscription wise VVarren not putting on shows won't matter because as I've just said most of us have Boxnation for the overseas fights. But will the channel keep going without a main uk promoter or will they throw in towel?

    Probably. Most of his domestic stable was/is garbage anyway.

    Yes if he does deal with Hatton, Maloney and few others.

    I think it's only chance is to try and get Hatton and his fighters on board. They purely just don't have enough quality fighters left. If Frank doesn't do something then it's surely got to be on the way down.

    He wasn't contributing many fights to it's schedule anyway, if it was surviving before it should be able to carry on, unless it was losing money and being subsidised by fight live shows.

    That is a ****ing brilliant question and one worthy of its own thread!

    I believe he may have been in even worse shape. Sky kicked off all the other promoters and gave 20 dates exclusively to Matchroom. Had Frank stayed they'd probably have kept him on and gave him 10 and Matchroom 10. With the garbage cards he puts on though I believe they'd have kicked him off eventually as well.

    How much would boxnation pay Hatton, Maloney and few others to set a show up/ lighting/camera vans/camera men/Fighters purses, ect, ect, ect,
    needs someone with the financial clout of sky?

    If Frank leaves boxnation or sells his shares, I will have it put back on.

    Good for you Bill. But get professionals in who know how to run a T.V. channel properly, unlike the amateurs who appear to be running it now.

    I hope it does, if anybody else was in charge of it we'd be behind it. Put down the grudge for a second and think about number 1 and what you get for it, lots of good international fights that we'd never see otherwise at least one a week, for the boxing nuts its great and I'll keep it till they cease trading or lose the international cards, UK cards are garbage however.
