    So it transpires that the Fury fight will only be shown on BT - not Boxnation?!

    What is the point in paying for this channel. I dont have BT i am on Virgin and pay for boxnation on its own, have done for a fair few years now.

    However why should I now have to pay for BT sports to see this fight?!

    Boxnation are a supposed to be an exclusive boxing channel that now seems its gonna sell its exclusivity I have written a complaint to them and will be cancelling. I dont do social media but hopefully some of the people on here can jump on and highlight this to the fans ans subscribers that will be getting fleeced.

    Shocking treatment of its client base!

    Thanks for the reminder. I've just cancelled my subscription as I have BT Sport anyway.

    Pathetic from Frank. Obviously he will have tried to negotiate Boxnation coverage but he has no leverage over BT. Everyone should cancel their subscriptions it’s a joke channel now.

    Let me add this is the man who repeatedly rants about Stubhub and “conning the fans”.

    yup i also use my mates login details, mainly use it for the football but looks like I will be doing so for the boxing also.

    Was Frank genuinely hoping that the fans wouldnt notice?!?!

    It’s a shame because the idea of a channel totally dedicated to boxing was excellent. He’s sold out to BT though and let proper boxing fans down.

    So the Saunders v Murray card has been moved to only BT? It's still on the Boxnation website.

    I'll be cancelling my subscription after the Lomanchenko v Linares then maybe pick BT up after the summer for the football and the boxing. Catch Fury in the Casino or something.

    It is only the Fury fight.

    Think a lot of drama over not much atm. He said he will announce soon what is happening in the future. He has been trying to run a channel of basically 1 sponsor for ages and now has received a big offer, can hardly fault him on that.

    Proper journalists would've asked him about Boxnation yesterday, but unfortunately as they are in his pocket IFL only ask the questions he wants them too.

    Not a big fight its literally the smallest fight he will be involved in during his comeback. Therefore why exclude it from Boxnation. There must be a reason for it.

    I dont give two monkeys about how much work he has or is/isnt doing. I pay may subscription to Boxnation to watch their fighters. Not to mention that Boxnation have Tyson Fury down on their roster of fighters.

    I still dont see why the fans who have payed him over the years then have to miss out on watching easily his biggest name fighting.

    "It is only the Fury fight." why would they only do this with one fight ?? face it if they do it once they will do it more.

    I will just use a friends BT account details from now on and cancel my sub for boxnation.
