    Sad about his uncle and I hope he recovers, but If it was a weak opponent fury would have still fought. Didn't fancy the job at all.

    I'm sorry but after all the **** fury talks, he has bottled it hard.

    Ah that's true, seen the boxing tonight show. It'd be good for the market if they'd get some live fights though. Would be great if they got Sauerlands cards at least as a start.
    Didn't know that about the head of BT sport being on the BN board...maybe there is hope for live fights.

    £10 per month on Virgin Media. Sky is overpriced.

    Wasn't Frank offered eight shows a year on Sky? If so, isn't that about what he's promoting now domestically?

    Think it was more to do with the money sky offered, something like 8 fights each for 4 promoters (32 in total)

    It's a lot cheaper than setting up your own channel though. The Rainham Steel guy has pumped in an estimated 40 million quid since Boxnation's inception- the majority of which have gone on overseas rights.

    The Boxnation domestic fight of 2014 has turned into an absolute farce.

    Boxnation cannot survive in the UK without any decent domestic fights

    Realise I shouldn't rise to the bait but what the hell....

    Who the f are you? Do you even like boxing? You only post about boxnation and how much you hate it, do you watch fights or fight yourself or have any interest in boxing other than what TV channels you watch it on?

    If I was being really cynical I would guess you have a vested interest but you come across far too retarted to be in a position of any influence.... so what is your problem?

    I don't particularly like, to pluck an example out of the air, foreign news channels and as a result tend not to find myself on the al jazeera website slagging it off all day, so why are you using up your time and energy on this endeavour, just don't subscribe or watch and those of us who want to can continue to do so.... because you know we like boxing.
