Boxnation

sometimes it's okay, but they repeat too much **** on there. they still regularly show walsh v appleby ffs.

it would help if they could show boxing shows from over in the states or something as filler, instead of walsh v appleby for the 5000th time or one of frampton/chisora going around in a black cab

 

Fair play to them. They have two things over Sky - much better commentators and analysts, and much better international coverage.

 

barry jones is great :good

 

I'm not a subscriber, if they had more fights, such as recently the broner / mattysse card would be a good ish one to watch, or record to watch later, yet they didn't have it, same with Marco Hucks fight. The least you'd expect from a boxing channel is for them to have a majority of the fights abroad, the GGG fight was on sky too.

I don't know anyone whose actually got boxnation properly, the only people I know who have it have a suspicious looking sky / virgin box.

can't see the channel lasting too much longer in my opinion, don't think there's enough demand for it. I think eventually it will either merge with BT sports and become part of their sports package.

 

I have subscribed and I think it's decent. The only problem I have with it is they repeat the same thing about 3 times in a day.

 

they have a show on there now called boxing matters, which *i think* is initially aired on bt sport and then later shown on box nation so what you say about merging could be a possiblity

 

:good Yeh mate, there's some real saddo's on here that squeal about a dedicated boxing channel for £3 quid a week, truly pathetic

 

Reasons not to not subscribe:
Makes FW £12 richer a month
Awful domestic fights
Best content is on in the early hours and shown on BT two days later
BNs own content is poor quality
Steve Bunce
A lot of the American content (all access etc) can be legally watched on YouTube

There's 6 bang off the top of my head, ony decent thing is Jim rosenthal and Barry jones

 

As a boxing fan, I think BN is great. Great to see the American cards live.

 

They have to repeat stuff. You could NEVER fill the schedule with live boxing!

 

The repeats are a killer it's worth the money though . Something I've always wanted them to do is once a week put on a show for say 2 to 3 hours they could show two or three fights from the Far East . It doesn't have to be live , recorded is fine . International fight night in the 80's and 90's was a great show apart from Gary newbon . Reg done the tv blow by blow in the studio while watching a video of the fights . Knowing the result never mattered it's how we could get to watch fighters like the galaxy twins and sot chitalada and moon

 

I have Boxnation Mayweather, Pac Man fights I watch. Do agree the UK fights need to be improved on. Fury VS Chisora is a start.

I actually like getting up early Sunday and watching a card from USA. If u love boxing I don't get why u wouldn't want Box Nation to do well.

Im no fan of Fr@nk but 1 day he will get found out. Until then I'll pay a couple of quid a week to watch something I love
