    Ive been a boxnation subscriber from the first day at first it was a bit iffy but in my opinion it now pisses over sky's coverage. What is your assesment of the situation now?:good p.s with the Haye v Chisora hopefully it can take it to the next level.

    Not only are Boxnation having more cards than sky now.. but they are having the better fights. The bitterness from sky pisses me off. The way Glen M and Nelson slagged off the Haye V Chisora fight. If it was to be shown on Sky they'd be all over it. Sky are to Prim n proper, which is why I watch anything of theirs at the kebab house.

    Obviously Boxnation is better generally for boxing fans, the british cards are probably better on sky. Having both is great for boxing fans.

    Sky use to have the upper hand but now Boxnation really have stepped up their game and have some good fights on and at least something every week even if it's Box Academy (I know this is there first showing Friday). Hopefully the increase in quality will see a significant increase in subscriptions.

    I've made no secret on ESB of just how much I am a fan of Boxnation.

    The criticisms levelled at it by the detractors (although some were valid) have gradually been improved ie too many repeats of too few fights, poor production quality, not enough shows.

    If you really like boxing so much that you spend time on a forum about the subject I don't see how you CANNOT subscribe to the channel.:huh

    Love the channel, and excited about the way it's improving.:happy

    Both are good. Therefore happily subscribe to both Sky Sports and Box Nation.

    Hopefully the increase in subs in anticipation for the Haye vs Chisora fight will mean that BoxNation goes HD BEFORE 14th July.

    Ive got both and will probably keep both. I wasn't sure about subscribing to Boxnation but with the rolling month, it's all good.

    You can't compare a multi sports network to a single sport dedicated channel.

    This argument is as old as Pretty Boy vs Pacman it feels.

    Not if Sky's coverage honestly is a small percentage.

    Its like comparing Super Sunday to MOTD.

    Boxnation is improving, and Sky still have good fights, and C5 is free and make up the HS cards with Fury, Eubank Jr etc. Only the BBC has no boxing yet still reports on boxing matches, bunch of w******.
