to watch the young lad Byrne get a uneaqual battering wasnt boxing sport.

Boxnation will only survive as long as they deliver top domestic and international action, week in and week out.

Last Fridays card was terrible. It fell apart due to Frankie Gavin pulling out at the night before. If the internet rumours are true, the guy was not in a fit state of mind to enter the ring.

Byrne was out of his depth. Ultimately it was his choice to step in the ring as a late replacement and accept the money. On papers it looked like he had a chance. Frank Warren could not afford for this card to be pulled off Boxnation.

Sounds like VM may get a period of FTV on Boxnation, if I'm reading this correct.

I think when BoxNation launch it will be free to viewers until after the Christmas Holidays.

Cinemoi was free for two months when it launch last year on Virgin.

thatllbeme · 02-11-2011, 17:53

i think it will be free until the announcment of next years events and will have to have a massive eventup first to intice people in. no point in having all these free fights and when wanting people to pay theres no big fights

The 03rd of December is looking great:

The WBA Welterweight Championship of the World
Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito

The WBA Lightweight Championship of the World
Brandon Rios vs John Murray

Cotto Vs. Margarito II is probably the most anticipated fight of the year.

Yeah totally agree. If you are a boxing fan, UFC fan plus a fan of MMA it's good times at the moment.

Boxing is finally getting the exposure it deserves. With SKY Sports, Boxnation, Eurosport, ESPN, Channel 5 and Primetime Live all showing regular events it won't be long until we get about 20 live cards a month on British TV!
ESPN Friday Night Fights is one of my favourite shows and returns in about 10 weeks time.

I am not an Boxing fan but I hope Boxnation will launch on Virgin before the end of November. (Info from web rumours)

thatllbeme · 02-11-2011, 21:19

i had an email from boxnation ages ago that said it should be on virgin by late november so hopefully thats the case.
im currenly saving for a stag do in vegas in march so all this boxing is saving me a bit by staying in most weeks so im happy.

March of this year was not too bad in terms of world title fights. No real massive fights though:

Saul Alvarez Vs. Matthew Hatton
Zab Judah Vs. Kaizer Mabuza
Sergio Gabriel Martinez Vs. Serhiy Dzinziruk
Miguel Angel Cotto Vs. Ricardo Mayorga
Ricky Burns Vs. Joseph Laryea
Lucian Bute Vs. Brian Magee
Vitali Klitschko Vs. Odlanier Solis
Guillermo Rigondeaux Vs. Willie Casey
Yuriorkis Gamboa Vs. Jorge Solis

They did have a deal for the show earlier this year but before they even broadcast an episode the deal was scrapped and the show remained on ESPN.

I think Premier Sports broadcast Shobox: The Next Generation twice a month. They also have another 8 live broadcasts left under their deal with Top Rank.

If Premier Sports did come to Virgin, I'd truly be in boxing heaven. It could be the most live boxing I've ever watched, and I watch a lot!
