    Where are the UK cards this year?

    I get it free on BT but surely the handful of subscribers left must be on the phone to cancel soon.

    Certainly not worth a subscription based on the current year to date offering.

    £45 so far this year to see a York Hall bum fest and a few American cards I watched the next morning - which I could easily catch for free the next day.

    I buy sky for the football and the boxing is a bonus.

    I hope to god frank doesn’t try and hit the fans with PPV for BJS - Murray or Selby - Warrington. It could be the death of BN.

    PPV? Where are you getting that idea from? There on standard BN/BT.

    Interns of the UK cards so far frank has had a mare- he will get it back together though. I’m ok to continue to support the channel with my subs even in dryer times.

    I have a boxnation subscription and I don’t feel like i’m getting my money’s worth. Hopefully they sort it out ASAP.

    I just cancelled mine as most of their bills I watch I can watch on BT. I just think it has been become bad value for money.

    Thinking back to when the channel was launched, the first year was very good with frequent UK cards and big domestic fights.

    It seems to be drying up by the month and come to the point where people are surprised when a UK card is broadcast these days.

    Yeah definitely going through a bit of a dry spell with their UK shows. When we get to the end of April, that's a third of the year gone and the only UK shows will have been the York Hall bum fest and the Frampton card. Very poor.

    But they've done ok with their American shows so far this year to be fair. They've shown most of the meaningful ones apart from Superfly 2. Garcia vs. Rios is the only other one I can think of, that they could've shown but didn't. Not sure that one can be classed as meaningful though. There's probably 1 or 2 more I've forgot, but on the whole, I wouldn't complain about the American content they've shown so far this year. But they need to get their act together with their UK shows. Matchroom currently blowing them out the water there.

    I cancelled my subscription. I don't care if it's only£12.00, I'm not going to give money away for nothing.

    Absolutely mate - the increasing disappearance of UK cards is shocking

    To be honest the UK cards on box nation are shocking anyway, I think its pretty good for the US stuff though.

    Do you not have BT sport? You get box nation as part of the BT sport deal.

    I don’t bud, missus won’t let me get BT sport or Sky. She got me boxnation as a present but it’s getting to the point where i don’t feel like i’m getting value for money anymore.

    Tell the missus to mind her own business and do the house work, tbh it is quite expensive for BT and sky so I can see her point.

    Box nation is definitely becoming bad value for your money though, some months they show no boxing at all yet they still take your money.

    As good as those US cards are they’re effectively PPV. They’re few and far between too so that subscription fee is basically covering 1 show a month, sometimes 2.
