I'm a subscriber of Direct TV and I've noticed there's NBA TV, MLB TV, and the NFL Network on there.
I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to do an all-boxing channel and if they did do y'all think it'd workout.
I mean, imagine a channel where you could watch the best fighters in the world on a daily basis with the format of those other channels with biographies, documentaries, classic fights, etc. . .
I personally would love a channel where I could watch guys like Uchiyama and Yamanaka fights live or all the great U.K. fights live, mixed in with great docs and programming.
Has anyone ever tried this?
Is it even doable?
To be honest, if PBC could get a channel like that here, I would cancel my HBO and Showtime, they have too many channels for the regulars to keep up, i'm outta of the loop sometimes and I love this sport.
Absolutely, you can find all that other **** elsewhere. We want boxing
Boxnation is the way forward. It works out at about $20 p/month. They always have shows on and classic old fights, even amateur quilifying for the Olympics. Their line-up for the next few months is definitely worth the money
This schedule is simply EXPLOSIVE! 💥💥💥 pic.twitter.com/PIXjnrZ1lq— BoxNation (@boxnationtv) 2 May 2016
Jeezus, that's dope as ****
I love Box Nation! The US needs an equivalent!
I subscribe to HBO and Showtime just for boxing! Lately I have not been getting my moneys worth!
And then they want to charge us for PPV! I've been a loyal customer to HBO and Showtime for over 27 years. At least give me a discount if I order PPV boxing!
Until that happens Mayweather Pacquiao is my last PPV ever!
I rather go to a Tijuana Bar and watch it for free!
Exactly.

Yarrrrp. 24/7 mate.
The only fights they dint have are the Sky Sports exclusives.
Outside of that they have all the big international fights, British fights, European fights, classics, talk shows, etc...
It's £12 a month, but that includes PPV's.
Wow, I'd be like.

I would have that channel running 24/7 in my house lol. But over here in the U.S. we mostly have ESPN running in the background and they hardly even cover boxing. Sad reality.
But you guys have to pay for PPV fights that would otherwise not be on PPV in other places right?

BoxNation does very well over here.
Nothing but boxing or boxing discussion 24/7.

I would love a network like that. One that showed live fights when they actually air and when no TV worthy fights are on they have dedicated times for boxing shows, documentaries, old fights, interviews and all that good stuff.
UK has Boxnation, would be nice if the US had a similar type network even if they combined it with mma.
Im sure Haymon is at the PBC headquarters doing the Birdman handrub thinking about it.
Really, the UK has a boxing network?
Is it like just 24 hours a day of boxing?
I mean, there's a ****ing horse racing channel.
That's what I"m sayin'. There's a channel for all this other ****, why not boxing?
I think a boxing classics channel would go over very well. They could show fights from all eras and only the best ones which would make for big ratings I imagine. Lots of folks would probably put it on and just leave it there throughout the day. I know I would. Of course, with all the fights on Youtube, you can pretty much do that now.
Hell yeah.
Just tune in and watch JCC Sr or Duran vs. Leonard or some old ass Ali fight from the mid '60s or something.
