David Haye Vs. Dereck Chisora is being shown natiowide in cinemas!

http://www.cineworld.co.uk/films/5454

http://www.odeon.co.uk/fanatic/odeon..._Chisora_LIVE/

£13.50 per admission for adults. Cheaper than booking it through SKY and Virgin plus it'll be a night out to remember. Live boxing isn't shown in the cinema often at all.

The amount of broadcast revenue this fight is going to make is simply astounding. This will set up Frnak Warren and Boxnation for some time to come.

Talksport are broadcasting live commentary of the fight:

Plenty of options available for people to enjoy the action.

When Haye and Chisora clashed in Germany Warren probably saw £££ in front of his eyes straight away. Both Haye and Chisora might never get a British boxing license ever again. Whilst both are being used by the promoter, both fighters are set to make a ton of cash that will see them okay for the rest of their lives. Chisora recently has been picking up pay cheques for losing performances. Everyone is a winner here, apart for the British Boxing Board of Control.

Yeah saw that myself. Buncey and Lillis both mentioned last night that Brian Rose is a good lad. Brian is a Maloney fighter too. Would be great to have Maloney and his stable on Boxnation. Not many people will agree with me but Warren and Maloney are my 2 favourite promoters. I enjoy listening to both of them talking about the sport.

I can only see a David Haye win by knock out

Frank Warren has just told Ian Payne on LBC that the system crashed earlier today, because of the number of people wanting to see the Haye v Chisora fight!

Not happy with this at all! I don't like MMA and don't want it on my boxing channel:

http://www.ultimatewarriorchallenge.co.uk/

Boxnation tweeted that 13 oil rigs signed up to the channel so their workers could watch the fight!

It has also been suggested that Tris Dixon, editor of Boxing News, commented that just over 700,000 people watched Haye Vs. Chisora via Boxnation on Saturday. I'm yet to find the actual direct quote from Tris. There had been rumours that Haye Vs. Chisora did better than Froch Vs. Bute which achieved just over 650,000 viewers.

Looks like Boxnation might have a very bright future. I would now like Boxnation to try and secure further output deals with the likes of Top Rank and Gary Shaw.

with the expected maloney and hatton promotions coming on board they should also do a deal with some of the other smaller uk promotors like dave coldwell

Totally agree. Boxnation show great international fights but their British shows aren't the best. Multiple British promoters on board should really help the quality of the British shows.
