    Your reading to much into it. I like to talk about Boxing, excuse me for not doing it in the relaxed style you prefer.

    April and May look great for Boxnation, loads of top class fights, totally wipes the floor with Sky.

    I`m happy with the fights we are getting on BoxNation at the moment and if I only had Sky Sports for the Boxing I would feel ripped off,but i like plenty of other sports so I usualy end up giveing Sky the benifit of the doubt and I understand why have chosen one promoter to make life easier for themselfs but Sky at the moment is the only channel with any interest in boxing now that 5 looks to have pulled out that can sell a fight to the casual fan and build the sport up,so i hope Hearn gets it right.

    TBH the status quo is it stands suits me fine. I maninly prefer the foreign cards that Boxnation are showing us, then after that the big UK cards which Hearn is doing a reasonable job of putting on. I don't miss the vast majority of FNFs at all. A few more cards from Hearn and less Prizefighter would be nice but its still not a bad set up for me.

    I can't see why being pro Boxnation need make you anti-Sky Sports or vice-versa but that seems to be how the debate has polarized some opinion.

    Because you cannot be critical of BoxNation without somebody bringing up Sky.

    Great channel, keep buying them international cards and I will keep subscribing. Sky put on one world class fight in froch vs kessler and I have to pay an extra £15 for it! Thieving ****s.

    Yes your right, complete joke and as if Froch is Box Office. If he wins will we have to pay £18 to watch him lose to Ward again in a match that was on regular sky sports less than 18 months ago?
