If you are really "Boxnation" it's great to finally have you guys on board at Virgin Media.

Very naughty

For me personally you just can't beat the buzz of watching a major fight live. Calzaghe Vs. Lacy, Froch Vs. Pascal, Haye Vs. Maccarinelli, Lewis Vs. Tyson, Hatton Vs. Mayweather and Khan Vs. Maidana will always stick in my mind. I'm glad I watched all of these live as the thrill I got sitting on the edge of my seat watching events unfold will never leave me.

Please note that while we have no reason to suspect otherwise, the user 'BoxNation' has not supplied any credentials confirming who they are.

Totally agree with what your saying Russ.

The info posted by that user appears to be accurate. Also the post seems to be in the same style as the e-mails I've received from them previously. Of course it could just be a doppelganger trying to groom us boxing fans

Information that is on the brief and the Customer News article here http://my.virginmedia.com/customer-n...BoxNation.html is that ordering will be done via Virgin Media via their website.

P.S. the order link doesn't go live until tomorrow

Having just gone through some details, I can now confirm that the user 'BoxNation' is indeed from BoxNation (the company).

You're absolutely right of course, the few fights I've seen live PPV with a group of people in the room were pretty memorable. And as it's unfolding live there's no need to avoid the sports news next day to avoid the result getting spoiled.

Exactly as l pay Â£20 for a standalone channel and l see it as reasonable value.

Are you tired of paying for a fight that doesn’t go more than three rounds? Or fed-up with only being able to watch a couple of fights a year?

BoxNation is the channel that every boxing fan has been waiting for.

It’s really simple, for just Â£10 a month you will get exclusive access to the big live fights from all around the world and all the behind-the-scenes access to the boxing world you could want – from interviews with the boxers, to expert commentary and analysis, to weigh-ins and press conferences.

More build up. More live fighting. More highlights. More analysis. Just more boxing!

But the best bit is that for a limited time only, you can watch the channel for FREE! Just tune into channel 456 on Sky.

Why register?

Register your interest right now to qualify for;

•Our special introductory offer of 6 months for the price of 5<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

•An exclusive weekly newsletter from Frank Warren

•The chance to win boxing prizes that money just can’t buy

By registering now, you’re not committing to anything. You will simply receive news from BoxNation and information on how to subscribe to the channel ahead of the subscription service’s launch on the first of December.

Sky customers will soon be able to subscribe and pay for the channel through this site, while Virgin Media customers should contact Virgin directly (we expect to be live on Virgin Media cable within two weeks).

Don’t miss out, register today!

Certainly no info posted about that internally from VM. I'm guessing it's a satellite offer only.
