    Nothing to do with a potential audience base ten times the UK's? No?

    You are the most ignorant little wanker when you start with this ****.

    People who aren't willing to pay 2.50 pound a week for a dedicated boxing channel or attend live shows are not hard core boxing fans. So why try to wear this as a badge of honour?

    I understand that people are cynical about his intentions and justifiably hate evil old fish eyes, but if abit of funding makes it possible to bring back the old glory days of satanta (and possibly more), isn't that a chance worth taking?

    Personally I have no problem with them doing Enzo v Clev. I think Clev gets beat by Hopkins/Dawson/Cloud/Campillo/Pascal anyway. I wouldn't be pumped for it though.

    I just think Bunce is daft for coming on a boxing forum whereby a lot of people watch BoxNation and tell them to get with the program because this fight sells better or easier. If people are paying for that service then they have the right to ask for whichever fight they want and if that is less marketable than the other said fight then that's just tough.

    I mean how many people are expecting Cleverly to step up to unifications this year anyway, most of us already knew the route Allegedly would take with Cleverly.

    Enzo v Cleverly is a mega fight in Wales, nobody in Wales has heard of Cloud!:lol:

    And I think Enzo would give Cleverly a torrid time, it is a good fight too.

    :lol: Get off the fence and tell us what you really think!

    I just signed up for BoxNation ahead of this weekend's fights, great show and easily worth £10 for the month. But ftr I like the look of both Cleverly v Maccarinelli and Cleverly v Cloud, but if I could only have one I'd much prefer them to make the Cloud fight. A Cloud fight means more internationally, the winner unifies titles, gives Cleverly (assuming he wins!) leverage to land things like the Hopkins fight he wants, it's just a more positive, ambitious piece of matchmaking to my mind.

    The Macc fight would be a lot of fun, the hype here would be hilarious and the fight would be exciting (all reasons I want to see it and hope it gets made) but the result would not change anything internationally, whichever way it turned out.

    So I want both fights to happen, but if we only get one I hope it's Cloud.

    Barely anyone in the US has heard of Cloud. Cleverley will make more money fighting Enzo or a rematch with Bellew than he will against Cloud, etc.

    Yeah, it's ****, but that's life. Who gives a **** about Nathan? He's not much good anyway.

    Quite, it seems pretty clear that without BoxNation there would simply be less boxing on British TV, so at £10 a month what's not to like?!

    hahaha....I think Clevs pretty gash like.

    Just workrate.

    You get players making 100k a week in footy on engines and workrate.

    If you want bias, have a look at Ringside last week. ****in Adam was gagging like 40 year old virgin on viagra to get knee deep in the Haye-Chisora incident. To even entertain the thought of taking away the head-to-head at weigh ins was nearly as bad as those muppets on the BBC and in some of the press slating boxing. Ringside went too far with that **** and the reason for it was they were thumbing their nose at their rival channel.

    Bang on gasman... Adam Smith made me actually cringe this week and in my humble opinion Smith and Nelson are **** poor on Ringside, it should be a great show in theory but somehow they make it a real struggle to watch most weeks.
