    True.

    Yes it is disappointing that the fight has ended up on Primetime, gone are the days where I am willing to pay £15.00 for one evenings boxing.

    Do I feel let down by Boxnation though?

    No I don't, I am more than happy with all the shows they have coming up for the tenner a month.

    Sky have let boxing fans down pure and simple; I have been with them for twenty-odd years and they have given me some wondeful boxing memories, albeit more often than not at an additional charge of £15.00.

    Their decision to reduce the boxing content is shameful, pure and simple, they do not have the excuses that other channels have, their profits are not falling, far from it.

    They have cut the boxing budget to most likely make funds available for the F1 channel.

    So it is Sky I feel let down by, they have failed to look out for the boxing fans that have paid literally thousands of pounds in subscriptions over the years; I, and I'm sure I'm not alone here, are with them for boxing and boxing alone, so their decison to reduce the boxing budget (and the number of shows by 50%) lets me down and thats it!

    I rely on them to pick up the shows that Boxnation doesn't, thats why I subscribe to the two of them.
