    If you are already paying a monthly subscription for a minority sport channel then why should you be forced to pay extra for the best fights?
    Those who subscribe are doing so because they love the sport...why kick them?

    Haha brilliant, fair play to Frank. I reckon he could still have a dash and would back him to KO either of the Hearn's inside 4 rounds.

    Why bother with PPV, Box Nation only costs £12 per month and you can get the Fury show as well as their other major fights. Wouldn't be surprised if they manage to get Thurman - Porter and Wilder's July fight as well.

    BN is a waste of time and money. Both for those in charge and for the subscriber.

    It'll die a death before long. It's only in operation as a tax write-off for Bill Ives.

    Warden makes me laugh....BN was always going to be for the subscriber and I'm sure in the past PPV was promised never to happen on there ( maybe I'm wrong on that score ), but what a joke he is when he slags off everyone around him for doing exactly what he is doing and has always wanted to do since losing it all a few years ago!

    In fairness Frank said a PPV option would be free for those that already subscribed to BN. They'd only do it to chase additional income from those that cba to subscribe full time but would be interested in certain fights.

    Boxnation shouldn't be aimed at the casuals. They should be aiming to make it a must have channel for every single hardcore boxing fan, with the occasional "cross over fight" if and when they come along.

    Every top international card and more small hall cards should be shown as standard. Not just one card a weekend. I'd happily shell £15 quid a month for a more complete schedule.

    It's worryingly sad you've made an account to try and rile me.

    What was your original account?

    Not sure what happened with the PPV idea- I wonder if Sky didn't see value in it or were leant on by Hearn.

    Boxnation does seem to be going through the motions at the moment.

    Apart from the live shows, they seem to show nothing but repeats.

    There's only so many times one can watch a rerun of Gavin Rees vs Souleymane M'baye. :zzz

    Boxnation is a failed channel and will never make money.

    The lack of top weekly domestic and/or European action will never attract new viewers.
