    I can't see this channel lasting, setanta failed and although more expensive also had other sports including premiership football and england matches

    Carl frotch is fighting ward on the 17th dec. so would prob be a bad date to stage a big show.

    Yes i know that, but it's like anything. You smoke weed it's illegal but the punishment is small, you choose to sell it the risks are higher. I s zero pressure on this type of thing in the UK atm, the mood is totally different in America.

    Ive been doing this 3yrs now on off, when it ends it ends i don't really care, it won't be me that suffers, it be Boxing fans & Sport itself. Premier League been fighting for years to tackle it throwing billions of pounds, it has not made a dent in it because the laws here are not enough to put people off from doing it.

    Whats a lawsuit going to do for average streamer who is just as broke as the viewer.

    There's not going to be a clash with a UK FW show.

    No but I would imagine everyone will be watching Froch fight, probably biggest fight of the year, doubt boxnation will have a show to compete with the Final of the Super 6.

    I think you get the first month free anyway once you sign up.

    Wallet's point is that it won't clash. Something to do with the rotation of the earth.

    But wasn't it football rights fees that actually killed Setanta? They had a second-rate football package that was still costing them many millions. BoxNation doesn't have that burden.

    I agree with Mr Barlow.

    December looks poor, especially with no big show on the 17th. Although..they might put one on with Groves headlining.

    Povetkin vs Boswell and Helenius vs TBA (possibly Chisora) is also coming up on december so it isn't that bad.
