The mount of boxing available on TV at the moment is incredible. The next 6 weeks are going to be fantastic.

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
The impression given through out the year by Frank Warren was that a HD channel would be up and running by the end of the year. This article however suggests it's not even close to launching:
http://www.newsuk24.com/news/frank-w...c-bout/related
"SPORTS PROMOTER Frank Warren plans to float Box Nation, the cable television station devoted to boxing that he set up two years ago. Nation Media, the channel’s parent company, hopes to raise about £5m from an AIM listing to fund expansion overseas, buy the rights to more events and create a high-definition version of the station. It is run by Richard Brooke, who was finance director at BSkyB."
Worrying that they need to raise money in order to launch.

David Price has signed for Sauerland:

The deal means he'll remain on Boxnation.

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
Some interesting updates in regards to Boxnation.
SKY and Boxnation have agreed a commercial partnership to offer Boxnation to pubs and clubs.
http://www.drinksindustryireland.ie/...e.aspx?id=4569
Some more information on the flotation of Boxnation on AIM.
Executive Chariman Richard Brooke said: "We will be launching a new HD channel in the first quarter of 2014 as part of our drive to deliver the best service to our customers,” he added.
“The funds we raise during the IPO [initial public offering] process will be used to increase the number of high quality boxing matches broadcast, launch the HD [high definition] channel, develop international expansion, develop increased Pay Per View capabilities and provide general working capital."
Here is some really interesting reading the flotation of Boxnation:

I sent Boxnation an e-mail asking last week and got a reply back from the Chairman of the company!
The channel will be on SKY from launch. The plan is to have the channel on the Virgin Media platform as soon as possible. It's not a SKY exclusive. I suppose they could be negotiating a carriage deal as we speak.
