    Even if you like other sports, and want Sky, you may also think it's good to have increased boxing coverage...



    Sky Sports schedule for April:

    (1) Anthony Crolla vs Derry Mathews
    (2) Tony Bellew vs Danny McIntosh


    BoxNation schedule for April:

    (1) Denis Lebedev vs Shawn Cox
    (2) Lukas Konecny vs Salim Larbi
    (3) Felix Sturm vs Sebastian Zbik

    (5) James DeGale vs Christian Sanavia

    I read sometime ago that Boxnation has 10,000 monthly subscribers.At 10 pounds each that is 100,000 pounds revenue per month to broadcast all these fights.The numbers just don't add up and seems to me a losing proposition for Boxnation.
    Do they receive big bucks from advertisers or am I missing something?
    I just don't get it.Can someone explain to me the business upside to this experiment?The satellite costs,the rights fees to other promoters,employees,etc.
    I am at a loss,and so would Boxnation,I suspect.

    With all the rumours around about you-know-what, it makes you wonder how they can make self standing.

    Like i said before it hasn't got the financial muscle like others do.

    For instance, how much does DeGale get a fight?

    Its difficult to say without knowing what they pay for fights, the midweek fights will have cost very little, in stark contrast i imagine the mayweather bill will have cost a fortune.

    Doubt the makers of kickdummy are throwing thousands their way.

    Its been said before but Boxnation could hire people for next to **** all just to give them experience and they would jump at the chance.
