    I know what your saying, maybe once they actually put up the international fights on there websites, I can have a proper look and weigh everything up, even then I really want to see the British boxers in tough fights, also press conferences and live weigh ins, just to get hype going.

    And then people can go back to whinging about Adam Smith, Jim Watt, PPVs, not getting to see undercard fights etc while happily bending over to get shafted up the arse by Rupert Murdochs giant corporate ****!;)

    So there ****ed basically, I don't see more people subscribing with no advertising and knowing British fighters are in mismatches, maybe if Fwank hadn't of sued everyone (allegedly) he might have someone willing to give some financial backup. :think

    I dont understand it, someone makes a channel which shows nothing but boxing and boxing fans moan about it.

    Lets give it a bit of time to develop, maybe other promoters will jump aboard, and show some of the small hall shows.

    Let the business model develop, end of the day, they do HAVE to turn a profit, otherwise there's no point.

    My only real gripe is the quality of the fights, I would rather not watch Boxing then watch complete mismatches that tells you nothing about a fighter, if it was free I would have no basis to grumble but seeing that Fwank is getting £120 a year off of me, I have every right to want to see competitive fights.

    Look all im trying to say is i reckon im a little above the casual fan and it isnt grabbing me! I have Sky Sports & ESPN and previously had Setanta, ive paid for PPV on Sky and Primetime.

    In my opinion Sky could do the lot without the need for PPV, saying that I dont mind paying for PPV providing its a quality card, which should include at least 1 world title fight if not 2, and good undercard fights, including a British title.

    Anyway im not subscribing to Boxnation until its more established, hopefully that will happen.

    When?

    PS When you asking the studio a question, why do you interrupt and never give any a chance to answer the questions youve asked but come up with cheap one liners on here?

    Also tried to sign up and the customer services team were crap! so decided against it, the channel started off well but wanna a little more as although its only £60 for 6 six months TV is starting to add up these days.

    The channel will be dead before the end of 2012.

    2013 will see an outbreak of moaning about why there isn't a boxing channel.

    Well, Rigo-Ramos is going to Premier Sports - I would have thought once Boxnation was launched they would have put this channel to the sword.

    And the deal that was announced at the launch of Boxnation of a deal to show the Sauerland cards - then why are we not getting the Abraham/Stieglitz card this weekend?

    January is absolute dog**** - I was hoping they would pick up some of the international fights, instead we have Derry Matthews v nohoper that noone has heard of for the IBO title. Crap.
