    I think Derry is aiming to fight ricky burns and with this being on boxnation it is starting to look possible

    :smoke Lol @ the mickey mouse IBO title.

    Whats happening with the Rees rematch??

    IMO Burns would soundly outbox Matthews, 12 rounds to nil, Burns is 2 or 3 levels above Matthews.

    I thought Vaughan promotions had a deal with another channel on Sky. Oh well this makes a bit more sense and will be live.

    Well theres Ricky Burns' unification bout right there.


    Coming soon to an over priced, under produced subscription service near you. Derry Matthews and Ricky Burns face off in a Lightweight Unification bout for the ages. The winner will surely be recognised as THE Undisputed Lightweight Champion of the World. Following this the winner will move up to Light-Welterweight to face the winner of Mabuze and Wills for the most prestigious of all the 140lb titles, the IBO world title. Once held by none other than Manny Pacquiao.


    And thats how Fwank will make idiots believe this is a fight worth making.

    :lol: overpriced? they show a lot of stuff Primetime would be asking a tenner for, it's half the price of sky sports and all they show is boxing (if you dont like footy, F1, or darts, thats a pretty attractive option). I can guarantee they wont portray the IBO title as a true world title if its Boxnations own commentators(dont see why it wouldnt be)

    Why can't we just get the Steve Chinnock rematch?

    Sorry, that was all a bit tongue in cheek.

    Its not overpriced for what it is to be honest, what it is however is underachieving, in that most of the twice weekly shows are stuff that would be on SkySports and the rest of the programming leaves a lot to be desired. For your tenner a month they should really be putting some effort into highlights shows, documentaries, and historical fights. Simply put its Frank Wazza TV and I can't justify paying a tenner a month for the very few decent American fights they do get as its on at 4 in the morning.

    Also who ever said Primetime was any better? They're scum of the earth as far as I'm concerned. Just because Boxnation is the lesser of two evils doesn't make it worth my money.

    With 4 weeks to go BN should really have this on their schedule. It wasn't when i checked yesterday. Poor work. BN are hardly showing themselves as marketing vituoso's so the least they could do is update their website :)

    I agree 100% :good BN really needs an overhaul of there marketing dept., they need to pick up a load of classic fights and docs (surely they could pick up some on the cheap) to fill the rest of their schedule, and they need to sort the video quality out (even if it isnt HD it shouldnt look like a stream off the net). I would also like to see them working with other promoters in the UK, even if they just got some smaller shows on for out moneys worth. I havent subscribed yet, but will probably get it for this fight, if not Clev and Vitali's fights the following month. Im not wanting sky sports for £22 when the only other thing i would regularly watch would be SSN.
