Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?

Haven't seen any proof yet however boxing forums are buzzing today suggesting Frank Maloney, just like Ricky Hatton, has been dropped by SKY. This means guys like David Price, Tony Jeffries and Brian Rose are currently without TV coverage.

Surprisingly Channel 5 seem to be the favourites to land deals with Maloney and Hatton. Recent boxing on 5 has been a major success however Mick Hennessy doesn't have a deep enough roster of fighters to fulfill the amount of shows Channel 5 would like to put out.

Personally I'd like to see Hatton and Maloney team up with Boxnation.

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?

The idiot also know as "Dappy" has been confirmed to perform a cover of Queen's "We Will Rock You" live in the ring before Haye vs Chisora.

Comments from boxing fans so far include:

"useless Greek embarrassment"

"can he not be used as a punch bag"

"Box nation,quality channel with quality boxing. Why the **** would you ever think of bringing that idiot dappy into the fold, talk about lowering your usually high standards box nation. shame on whoever thought this would be a good idea"

"Thats almost as bad as Justin Bieber walking out holding Mayweathers belts lol"

And my favourite "Boxing was made so idiots like him would be taught respect the hard way"

Would be great to see them turn on him

Allegedly Boxrec and Frank Warren have butted heads on a few occassions. Allegedly Frank Warren has threatened to sue Boxrec due to rumours, lies, allegations and untruths posted about him and his promotion company in their forum section. As a result Boxrec tend to change any reference to Frank Warren and BoxNation to Allegedly Promoter and Allegedly Channel to avoid and further confrontation. I don't know if this is 100% true but it's the answer I got when I asked the question a few months back.

Another thing you might notice about Boxrec is they never publish any positive news about Frank Warren or BoxNation. In fact when BoxNation launched Boxrec gave it no coverage at all. The only time Boxrec publish anything is when it's to the determent of Frank Warren. So if a fighter leaves his stable, someone issues a winding up order against him or a Boxnation show is cancelled you will be able to read all about it in the Boxrec news section!

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?

David Price will fight in Atlantic City on July 27th after revealing the news on his Twitter account.

The good news for us XL customers is we should see the fight! David Price has been confirmed on the undercard of Hank Lundy Vs. Raymundo Beltran, which is being televised by ESPN.

Whilst Maloney being dumped by SKY still hasn't been confirmed, it would certainly seem Price fighting on ESPN brings his SKY to an end an abrupt ending. Looks like the extension to the contract didn't get done after all.

It's certainly not helping BoxNation, and more importantly not helping us fans. Boxrec is the go to place for boxing stats, info and up coming fixtures and to simply omit information regarding the world's only dedicated boxing channel seems nuts.

I feel sorry for people who have bought tickets. The undercard for this is going to be no better than some of the stuff you see on Eurosport.

I'm really looking forward to this one!

SKY have confirmed Frank Maloney has indeed been dropped and David Price is now without a TV deal:

http://www1.skysports.com/boxing/new...om-States-show

"The 28-year-old, who also who the Commonwealth strap when he stopped Sam Sexton at Aintree last month, is also without TV backing after promoter Frank Maloney was denied any more dates on Sky."
