    Does anyone watch this? I'm toying with the idea of buying the package so I can watch their weekend fights, but as far as I can see they don't seem to repeat them. Do they generally just show it at the live time and then nothing else? Be ****d with that if so...

    Thanks!

    Are you talking about Friday Night Fights?

    BT Sport tend to show it live (early hours of Saturday morning) and ESPN (UK) then repeat it usually some time Saturday afternoon.

    I have noticed this week though it doesn't seem to be on BT live just ESPN both live and repeated the next day.

    BT Sport also have the WSB on too and Boxing Tonight (which is a weekly show which usually shows all or most of the main fight Boxnation had the previous weekend with a bit on ****ysis)

    Ah thanks man, yeah seeing the listings for this weekend put a bit of doubt in my mind. Sounds like it might be worth the punt

    Ive got it Paddy,and its good stuff. Really good for the American scene,plus you've got Teddy Atlas who is very good I think. Got it on repeat but Ive not noticed them showing it much after the original. I think they've got Sergio Mora on this weekend.

    Sergio Mora is live on ESPN tonight which is great news for Boxing Fans as Boxnation will be out of business soon.

    Boxnation rarely show any domestic cards and now BT going after US cards. :happy

    Happy days as all our boxing will soon be on Sky and BT with a few cards on Channel 5 and Eurosport. :happy

    Once in a while you also get boxing on Eurosport ...coming up on Monday i believe there's a knockout classics show (10pm).
    They recently showed the last Wlad fight live

    ESPN/BT have always shown Friday Fight Nights, Boxnation go after the bigger US cards its been that way for a couple of years now so no difference

    They also pick up the odd domestic show lve too, usually Sanigar shows.

    The Cammacho v Kennedy card (March 13th) is on I think.

    Thanks all.

    I do catch the odd Eurosport card, though the quality can be a little hit and miss. I think I'll shell out for BT Sport as well as I'll watch the games on there (I go down the pub to watch them at the moment so if anything it'll save me a few bob)

    The programmes quite often don't run as scheduled
