    No details yet but boxnation just posted on twitter that they will be available on BT Sport from 2017. Great news for anyone who has BT already or currently pays to have both.

    great news hopefully it will improve the bills now

    Boxnation is a great idea but the lack of Saturday night live domestic shows was killing it. Hopefully this works out 30 live shows would be fantastic and with the BT money they might be able to draw a lot of the sky fighters over

    I believe when you have eircom broadband that you get BT sports for free. So I assuming you'll get boxnation for free now?

    I would think do Pac, but you what they say about things being too good etc. I wouldn't be surprised of a price hike or similar. BT sports name is now getting established

    ^ Looks like BT Sport will get a lot of the domestic stuff and some of the international cards. I'd imagine 8/10 of the big fights will still be on Boxnation, but there will be a Friday night I'm bored for something to watch and a British/Euro level card will pop up and I'll be more than happy to watch.

    BT really is rivalling Sky for sports these days.
    Its a great thing Boxnation goes to BT - for the fans , BT and Boxnation.

    Assuming this will be free for BT or Eircom subscribers.
    Im sure a charge comes down the line though but maybe 2018.

    All good - I think Boxnation was in trouble and was always in danger of folding one day.

    PBC suggests it will have a bid 2017 but I think its bluster - these cards wont happen.
    They just went almost 6 weeks without a card - afaik. NO income for the firm but still got to pay out everybody on contract . And the contracts are very generous too.

    Will see what happens now ....... its a fast changing environment.
