Boxnation HD is nearly here

I know this fledgling channel just get a cash infusion by some wealthy businessman to keep it afloat,but do they announce their subscription base?I just can't imagine this is a profitable model.Boxing is a very niche market.
Anyone know?:huh

 

You would need an HD box from either SKY or Vrigin isnt that what provides the HD? aswell as the TV being compatible.

Do Freeview offer Freeview HD yet?

 

I wish you could subscribe through freeview. I'd get it

 

you can subscribe on your pc mate, then plug into tv with a HDMI cable

EASY

 

Think they said a while ago they had 120k subscirbers

 

120K was about a year ago.

Think it's closer to 200k now and i wouldn't be surprised if some of their fights are getting better viewing figures then Sky boxing shows especially the live Sky fights from America.

Sky Sports 2013 viewing figures

September 7th - Burns v Beltran - 136,000
September 23rd - Matthews v Woodhouse - 75,000
October 6th - Joshua Pro Debut/Quigg v Salinas - 146,000
October 26th - Brook v Senchenko 197,000
November 2nd - Luke Campbell Hull Show - 127,000
November 30th - Bellew v Stevenson - 28,000

Once HD is added to Boxnation on February 8th 2014 it will add even more subscribers and help it go from strength to strength.

 

you really think that? hope your right cause we need a channel to show us fights noone else does

 

Well it's been officially announced that BOXNATION will be HD from February 8th for the big Copperbox bill featuring Chisora, Cleverly, Billy Joe Saunders and Frank Buglioni.

As for more subscribers, i'm sure those who have been holding back so far drom subscribing to Boxnation will finally take the plunge in February.

 

Yes, sure, but that's not the same thing as a "sky hd package"

Freesat certainly does.

 

You can already subscribe through "freeview", or the freesat Sky version anyway.

 

What a load of shite.

 

Whereas Solaris always provides us with accurate info...

 

I've schooled you enough on this.

FW is surviving because of his backer. Simple as that. Do some research.

 

No, you were just talking complete rubbish.

If that's "schooling people" in your mind, then you are self deluded.

The article also says:

"BoxNation has a six-year deal with  Mr ******’s company, Queensbury  Promotions. The prospectus said that Bill  Ives, the founder and chairman of Rainham Steel and a board member for Nation Media, has entered into a “financing arrangement” with Queensbury so that it can compete for the best boxing talent around the world. Mr ****** has consolidated all of his boxing interests into Queensbury after his former company  W.  Promotions went into administration in September with large debts."
