Anyone Subscribing to BoxNation?

Yeah Buddy

I wasn't going to but as the encryption draws nearer and nearer I want it more and more! I've been watching it regularly since the channel went up and they do seem to be putting out consistently good schedules. Plus I really really really really reaaaaaally want to see Cotto/Margarito and not risk a dodgy stream. With that said, streams have pretty much covered me for the last two years with very few hitches, but I've just been exposed to the glory of watching fights on TV week in week out on BoxNation. Also the one time I did revert back to streams, Pacquiao/Marquez, it was choppy as hell :mad:

So yeah - €12.50 a month. That's like three drinks in a pub. I hate that we have to pay it, but I'm seriously thinking about it

I think I will subscribe but it irritates me that it's not regular tv

it wont last longer than a year.

ive read they need anything from 100,000 subscribers to 200,000 to survive. and when you look at recent viewing figures for fights on SkySports alone, then Boxnation will crumble.

I doubt they will last very long but gonna enjoy the ride for however long it lasts.
Its great for fans like us who love our boxing but not so great to have so many fights hidden away from the general public and potential boxing fans.
Its good value for money imo as long as they keep the quality up. Id be happy with one small hall show and one big show per week as well as Bunceys slot.
I love what it does for non warren prospects as well.
Basically they work in conjunction with another promoter (lets say VIP promotions) and put on one or two warren fighters on their card to headline and make it tv worthy.
The night Dean Byrne stepped in for Horta as an example.Lots of VIP fighters got TV exposure because of it. Although having said that I would hope that doesnt affect ticket sales for those guys as they are 100% dependent on that.

I used to think the very same, hes a real London geezer, but behind it all he is a man who genuinely loves the sport. You don't just see him turning up mouthing off about the money fights, he is well know to trainers, promoter and fighters of all levels both amateur and professional around UK and Ireland.

He is great for the Sport I think, does a great radio show in the UK aswell check it out if ye can, not a week goes by when he doesn't talk about how great Katie Taylor is.

If they keep showing fights as good as Walsh v Appleby 2 weekends ago then I'd be very tempted to subscribe. What a great tear up

I'd love to subscribe but can't as they don't accept Laser.

Gutted to be missing tonights action from New York!
