BoxNation on Virgin Media? - Page 14

the mayweather one was better quality with morales and alvarez both on the undercard and worth the money but i also liked that they had a schedule and showed what time each fight was going to be,nothing worse than waiting forever between fight not knowing when they will be coming out.boxnation has most of the primetime crew so i wonder if they will be working for both companys?

Just watching Steve Bunce Boxing Hour on Boxnation. He has confirmed that whilst Virgin and Boxnation are still in negotiations, he can confirm that the channel WILL be launching on Virgin soon.

That would be great, just in time for Burns Vs. Katsidis. This should be another candidate for fight of the year, as long as Burns can see out the first 3 rounds safely. In fact Paul Smith Vs. George Groves should be good too.

With all this action on Boxnation, and Primetime Live snapping up Pacman Vs. Marquez III I'm beginning to wonder what SKY are actually doing. They aren't covering the best domestic action and they aren't covering the best international action either. SKY Sports need to get a grip quickly. Their boxing coverage is becoming second rate. That is not acceptable from a company with 5 dedicated sports channels.

If Box Nation is coming to VM, probably in talks again, but what year.

i can see sky sports going bust if this case with the pub landlady about football coverage goes against them, what will they have if they dont have football or boxing? maybe this is why they arent putting money into boxing anymore?
