    Im not sure mate, I am with Virgin and had it on month by month? Im sure somebody with sky on the 6 month deal said they cancelled it and they didn't kick up much of a fuss?

    The Enzo fight was entertaining enough. Not sure we can blame BoxNation, or F.W., for the timing on the first round. That needs to be investigated, but it could just be one person ****ing up. I don't know how you can **** up a 3 minute count when you presumably have a clock to do it but...

    For one of the small domestic shows, it was perfectly OK imo. Not a great fight, but it had its moments and was entertaining.

    I have no real doubt that the fix was in. Could that have happened the other way around, if Macca had really hurt McPhilbin? I don't think so I think FW and his boys are trying desperately to protect a showdown between Maccarinelli and Cleverly, which, unfortunately, means that what happened last night had to be done.

    If Enzo had been stopped in the first round, they would have lost one of their biggest fights of 2012. They weren't going to allow that to happen.

    Oh yeah that happens to me all the time. You have record the show after also as a failsafe. It really is a poor offering from the crappy editing and production through to some of the fights. £10 a month is naff all to me so I will keep with it though (like a mug)

    I noticed it states that the minimum contract is now 3 months, not 6. When did they change that policy? So, basically anyone that originally signed up onto a 6 month contract can actually knock it on the head now it seems.

    I cancelled my payment, and notified them I wanted to cancel, they say they'll hold me to my 6 month contract. Emailed them back saying the deal when I signed was '6 months for the price of 5' and I'd be happy to make my 5th payment then cancel after the 6 months. No reply so I'm assuming that'll be the end of it.

    Fed up with these crappy UK channels securing the rights to big fights.

    I remember signing up to Setanta to get the Hopkins vs Calzaghe fight, was a right ball ache cancelling, thankfully, they went bust lol!!!

    Then we had Primetime secure rights to Mayweather vs Ortiz and charge you £15 for the fight and the broadcast quality is shite.

    Now its Boxnation, a channel you have to pay a monthly subscribption to in order to be able to see what is probably going to be one of the biggest PPV events in recent years (that being, Mayweather/Cotto), and once again, no option to view the fight in HD, broadcast quality like Primetime is toss....

    So frustrating, wish Sky would secure the rights to air these big fights on PPV. £15 to watch in HD with decent commentators is absolutely fine, hell, if it were Sky PPV, I'd probs spend £50. As it is, I'm tempted to just wake up and DL the torrent for it...

    Aren't BoxNation supposed to be going HD this year? Genuine question, I'm not trolling!! I thought I read somewhere that their feed is HD, it just doesn't come out in HD yet for technical reasons that they are working on? Or did I dream that?

    I'm a BN customer, for the money I'm very happy with it, this month was worth it to me just for the Enzo Mac bill tbh.
