    Box Nation isnt going anywhere for the foreseeable future - sorry haters...the channel is going from strength to strength..more regular UK based cards, promoters like Hobson and Fat Mick signing on to put shows on, shinny new studion etc

    If Khan beats Collazo and secures a Nayweather fight this will send Subs/PPV bookings through the roof.IMO Haye will also be back to fight fury at the end of the year assuming Tyson Beat Del Boy..another major subs opportunity

    Going back to Frampton he is now becoming a household name..even a few of the girls at work asked me about him after he beat the last kid. if Carl beats LSC I think the americans will show real interest in putting him on over there in the east coast where he would be a big draw especially with the large Irish community in those areas -Carl is far beyond Quigg I can't see the fight happening for a while.

    Yep, these boxing fans couldn't give a monkeys about seeing the Pacmans & Mayweathers of the world- they want more prizefighters and Uk 'names' beating nobody bums.

    As much as I want to see Frampton v Quigg, I'm glad Frampton is chasing the LSC fight.... personally think its a tougher fight which does more for him.

    what makes you so sure that floyd will be fighting Khan on boxnation?

    doesnt khan only have 1 fight left on his boxnation deal?

    Would be shocked to see Khan go with boxnation for the mayweather fight when Sky will be very interested in that fight.

    Also Floyd will be in the UK in July I think so if this Khan fight is gonna happen I can see him visiting Sky HQ while he is over here.

    Also you know fall well that Frampton would have tons more of exposure if he was with Sky. A blind man can see this!

    Promotors talking up their fighter, trying to hype and make a fight with a rival... Well I am shocked and disgusted.

    i still dont think they should have added a HD channel...even though it was by popular demand....i think it puts a lot of pressure, or its bound to i am sure, on this stage of the channels life.....it would be a much cheaper channel for them to maintain in SD format only...i still worry that something will give in some area to either cut costs or increase subscriptions or something....i would have prefered if there was money in the pot for it to go into more content...if it were small hall shows or something.

    The problem is that the channel is not viable as there are no new subscribers to bring in the income from the cancelled subscribers who have left in big numbers.

    Haye has pissed off the public with 3 cancelled fights last year so no real interest left in the Toe.

    Dull Boy v Fury is Boxnations 'stadium' fight of the year and that says it all.

    Boxnation is doomed and no spin will save it.

    The new subscribers are simply not out there and when is the last time you seen Boxnation in a pub?

    You would prefer one channel to have a monopoly?

    Read the posts - the players will be Sky competing with BT soon.

    Boxnation is an irrelevance to the vast majority of UK sport fans and already well into the decline stage of its business cycle
