Sky v Boxnation NOW

boxnation a dedicated boxing channel shows about 5 live hours a week whats the % of that

very low aswell isnt it

 

Its 250% of Skys 2 hours live boxing for a tenner.

 

its 100% the price of a pint of beer (alc 4.6%) a week for the 250% of the 0.5%

 

its 0.3%

 

Ok, maybe the percentage of 'live' boxing content on Boxnation isn't as high as it could be (well some weeks anyway), it can vary from just 2 hours upto about 15.

But with respect to boxing content Boxnation actually broadcasts about 112 hours per week, pretty much what SKy broadcast in a year.

Ok I accept that most of this isn't live, and it consists of mostly repeats, but if we are going to get really picky then Sky's amount of 'live' broadcasting is even lower than previously discussed.

Ringside is pre-recorded, and the way Sky broadcast a show is usually to show the main event live (and perhaps occassionally the main support) but most of the fights are shown out of the running order and pre-recorded.

I'm not trying to turn this into a Sky v Boxnation thing; we've had too many of them, and to be honest it's a pointless argument!

I have no allegiance to either channel, I simply want to watch as much boxing on tv as possible.

Boxnation has it's problems, but I get the sense that they are trying to improve and grow; my frustration with Sky is that I feel that they are focusing less on boxing and making it harder for me to justify my monthly subscription!:bbb

 

if you just subscribe for boxing then cancel it, its not a BOXING channel, FFS!

 

....and pay the measly tenner for a BOXING channel!

 

You are missing my point I think...............

I can't believe I'm the only person who subscribes to Sky Sports just for boxing!

I'm well aware it's not just a boxing channel (the clues in the name), but they do show some good fights, and I enjoy their coverage, I'm just disappointed that they appear to be reducing the amount they show.

What's so unreasonable about that?! atsch

 

:deal Isn't that the great thing about ESB?

We can agree to disagree, yet still be mates! :good

 

It seems I always miss the point, I do have Sky Sports mainly for boxing but also for other Sports and we arent mates I dont actually like anyone on here! :good
