Yeah virtually everyone in the country can get BoxNation, but virtually everyone in the country (99.7% - and that's being very generous estimating the number of subscribers) doesn't have BoxNation!
look at his latest tweet - Amir Khan @AmirKingKhan I want to make clear I have NOT left Golden Boy. We're very happy together. I met Eddie Hearn only to discuss @harrykingkhan as I manage him
Your such a mug...change your name to keyboard warrior rather then ashishwarrior.. I'm not even a Khan fan, I've already said the many faults he has so stop talking utter ****
Yeah it may be wrapping up unless he'd somehow accept fighting domestic/Euro level. If I was his manager/promoter I would've had him move up and fight Paulie when he had that WBA welter belt before it was lost to Broner. Paulie would've surely accepted that to avenge the previous loss to Khan which I think would repeat. With that belt he could've convinced Alexander to fight him in the UK for his IBF title. With the right British ref and crowd I believe Khan would've won that too. Then he'd hold two welter belts and be seen as a legit fight for Floyd, who'd surely accept the 'challenge' (lol). Khan would then make his biggest payday and could have an easy farewell fight in UK before retiring. In my view that would've been the ideal path for Khan months ago instead of fighting Diaz. But, he ain't getting that belt from Broner nor do I think he'll beat Alexander in the US now. So... :tired
Sky Sports viewing figures for boxing can be substantially higher than BoxNation, but a lot of their shows the ratings are really quite low and nothing they do is going to compare to terrestrial TV of the past. From 2012: "Eddie Hearn of Matchroom reached out *********** to confirm that Kell Brooks gruelling twelve-round majority decision win over Americas Carson Jones has netted impressive viewing figures for Sky Sports. Brook moved to 28-0 (18) courtesy of a 114-114, 116-113, 115-113 victory despite picking up a broken nose and shipping some big punches from Jones, now 34-9-2 (24). Hearn has sent through a figure of 566,000 (via Kantar Media) with BARB expected to unveil a peak of around 530,000, which are remarkable numbers for a bill that did not feature a world title and a sign, perhaps, that Skys decision to go for fewer shows yet pack them with more title action is going to reap dividends despite some reservations over the networks new boxing strategy. Indeed, the figure comes hot on the heels of a 576, 500 peak audience for Carl Frochs destruction of Lucian Bute in May. It is the second time that Brook has posted impressive figures as his victory over Matthew Hatton in March also attracted a healthy number of viewers. It means that Brooks win over Jones brought in bigger numbers than Kevin Mitchells WBO lightweight title challenge to Michael Katsidis, 272,000, and Audley Harrisons revenge win over Michael Sprott for the EBU heavyweight belt, which gained a healthy audience of 274,000." The difference between BoxNation and a lot of Sky Sports shows may not be that much. (Neither of them have an impressive audience.)
BoxNation is a small time niche channel. Sky is a much bigger platform and a star like Khan should be fighting there.
