    Read many times on here that BN need to up their game with pre fight build up, I said it myself, this build up show is good and a step in the right direction. The footage they showed of Chisora just after the slap, I doubt sky would have shown that.

    Good job Bunce, Rawling and the team.

    I'm a subscriber and want the channel to work

    Meh, it's alright. Bit raw and amateurish which can make it fun at times but it's alright. Probably more entertaining to watch than a typical Sky big fight countdown program with Dave darts, Nelson and McCrory.

    I'm a subscriber and don't really care if it works or not

    People are too quick to jump on the bandwagon and moan about boxnation but i have been a subscriber since the channel started and i've always been happy with it.

    I've just watched that BILLY WALKER profile on heavyweights in the 60's, brilliant piece of archive "All our yesterdays"....20 Million back then tuning in on BBC to watch boxing:yep

    It's worth a tenner anyday just for the Bunce show:yep

    I am a subscriber too also from the beginning and feel the same way... it's getting better gradually. Although they still show fight cards for 37 times after the LIVE versions but it's getting better. you can see the presenters progressions and the production is getting better too as each fight arrives.

    maybe a year from now - they'll have a different look, theme musics, studio design etc... just give it time is my motto with box nation and we are actually getting some decent fights for the tenner a month at the moment.

    it's just the days in between the LIVE fights that need changing a bit. In my opinion there needs to be some kind of bonus show specials or mini series type of programs (i.e. classic fights, a KOTV styled daily news series, fighter interviews/specials etc...) rather than the 37 repeat showings of the same fight that was on last saturday at 2am which you watched live anyway.

    Overall, I'm quite happy with box nation so far it just needs more people to support it and get behind it. Mayweather v Cotto should help but that's just the start of it. there'll be plenty big fights on box nation so long as the subscriber numbers remain positive.

    Been saying this since they started, though I havent watched yet stuff like the Bugner and Walker features are a good start. How hard could it be to show the older stuff Warrren owns, or show classic fights that the likes of KOTV get there hands on.

    Definitely moving in the right direction and after all the criticism I feel it's equally as important to point out when they have done something right

    Just watched it. Bunce said that Lennox threw a punch on a TV show - what was that all about?

    Chisora looks like he's lost it - a bit like Audley at the Haye weighin.
