I for one would. How many fights have we had on tv over last year or so that would never have been seen on UK screens. Not perfect but I would miss it if it went. Also who would fill the void? Answer,nobody,just would be less boxing on UK tv.
Of course I'd miss it you ****, I'm a boxing freak. I still pay for boxnation even though I don't live where it's broadcast anymore...simply because when I visit my house in England I can switch the TV on and watch fights for a tenner a month. Thought about getting the PC version of boxnation, but always shyed away from it...
Apologies for any offence caused. The c-word is a term often used on here. Sorry if any offence was caused.:good
i just wish theyed put on a few more cards on to put them ****s at primetime out of business. i wouldnt even mind paying , say , an extra fiver for BIG fights.
To think I used to pay S*y £37 for Prem football back in the day, I'd willingly pay £40 a month for decent boxing, not just the odd flash in the pan big card. I spend more on daily newspapers when I'm in the UK each month than I would be prepared to pay for the £40 Boxnation. If I was guaranteed great boxing each month for that fee, then I'd pay it. Foolish pipe dream, it'll never happen, too much money and politics in boxing.
i agree mate. if there was somehow a channel that showed every big fight id gladly pay up to 50 quid a month and sack off sky sports. Theres some tight fisted ****ers on this forum who wont pay 10 quid for the sport they love so i doubt it would ever happen! Good premise though:good
If you need your fix of something (be it boxing, beer, cigarettes whatever) you'll find the money from somewhere - even if it means buying cheaper food, clothes etc. In these heady days of the Interweb boxing is free, you can find fights online on the night for free, this has to kick Boxnation and other stations into touch. Also with that famous file/video sharing site you can watch most big fights the morning after. I wouldn't condone such activity. If someone wants to put a ****-hot boxing channel on my TV for £50 a month I'll pay...but at least show me some great (live) fights.:good
Why would anybody who pays for it miss it? Your saving more money if it goes bump! + People say its worth the money, what? For a couple of decent fights every couple of weeks on a weekend? What about the day to day running, what about mid-week programs and what not? They just repeat old fights..... YEH! Its REALLY worth the money! My arse.
I've seen a lot of great young prospects home and abroad that I would know nothing about if not for Boxnation, and thats taking the big fights out of the equasion, it's easily worth a tenner a month
I have the online service and for me it fills the space Setanta left, I would miss it. Streaming quality needs to improve, but overall not bad for a tenner.
