Sounds fair enough, do they have the rights to show 'classic bouts' from years past? Ali, Eubank, Watson Mason and stuff like that?

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?

Seems like there's big plans in the pipeline for Boxnation. CEO George Warren has confirmed the following should be in place over the next 12 months:

1. On demand and catch up for TV subscribers

2. B0xnati0n day pass, similar to NOW TV SKY Sports Day pass, for those who just want to watch a particular fight

3. Channel rolled out to 2 / 3 other countries by the turn of the year

Can't see a day pass being available on Virgin Media but I'd certainly expect to see catch up and on demand.

Possibility to get Virgin back to the table to discuss a new deal? It's about time Boxnation HD launched.

To me, the only big news there is the channel being available in other countries which has been mentioned a lot in the past. It is the only way that I can see them becoming profitable. The day pass makes sense as BoxNation is on Amazon Fire.

Launching the channel in other territories was first mentioned by former chairman Richard Brooke about 18 months ago, and things have been quiet since. Back then he was talking about the channel launching in China. That's 1,375,000,000 potential new customer

The fact this news is coming from George Warren for me is pretty significant. Over the past 4 years everything that George has suggested was going to happen, in regards to the channel and their content has happened. He's not known for letting the cat out the bag until deals are signed and delivered, unlike his old man!

On 12.032H 27500 2/3 Box Nation HD is testing on Astra.

It is currently Free To Air and showing colour bars

Might be worth those with satellite tuning in as there might be some free boxing on offer (just my conjecture).

Interesting! Prompter Frank Warren confirmed a couple of weeks ago they hoped to launch Boxnation on UPC in Ireland by 19th December. Wonder if the channel is coming to Virgin Media in the UK and Ireland. Boxnation launched on Virgin at the start of December 2011. Wonder if a new carriage deal has been agreed?

I'm just speculating.

After some digging around I found this:

That was on the 23rd November 2011 to confirm the channel was launching on Virgin Media. 4 years ago tomorrow! New carriage deal???
