    At the minute Boxing fans should be over the moon, if the emergence of Boxnation has made Sky up their game then its great all round.

    I don't know why people are happy that this may spell the end of Boxnation, think Sky are gonna pick up the German cards? I don't. Would we have seen the Donaire and Chavez fights? probably not.

    Lets hope Boxnation make an effort to get the Williams/Ishida bill.

    Why can't people be pleased that we have two channels showing all these fights? One channel cannot show all these fights. Be grateful for both.

    What happens when one of Frank's fighters takes on a Goldenboy fighter?

    Exactly. Seriously, some comments I see are just so stupid. These morons don't even have BoxNation.

    Awesome news!! Really pleased about that. Brilliant stuff by Sky maybe we are heading back to the old days when Sky showed most significant US fights as standard procedure.

    And bye bye Fish Eyes :lol:

    I agree, I definitely feel that Boxnation have forced Sky to up their game, so it has had a positive knock on effect.

    Good news, did they say how long the contract was?

    Will it incorporate Kirkand v Molina and Ortiz v Berto?

    Only of recent. A tenner doesn't effect my pocket, so I wouldn't really care. As the other dude said, would Sky have picked up all the little cards around?

    I don't see it as anything to celebrate about. It just means the majority of us would have to go back to looking for a choppy stream.

    I was not 'all over Primetime's ball sack'.

    This is great news!!

    On another note I still dont get all the hating on box nation, because if it does go tits up then it just means less live boxing on the tele. But theres about 1000 threads on boxnation so for now ill be happy with sky getting this deal...
