Comments Thread For: BoxNation, Top Rank Reach Big UK TV Agreement

[wja1966]

I keep saying Boxnation is the best thing to happen to Boxing but some people seem to always slag it off and I dont know why.

Would you prefer to watch it without HD or not at all??

Some peoples mentality is strange be happy that we've got it becuase if it went we'd lose a lot of top class boxing

I want Warren and BoxNation to succeed but I do worrry about the maths..

.......just how many subscribers does it take to make it profitable and just how long will the investors be prepared to wait until they want to see a profit or begin to call their loans back-in?

Frank W's biggest problem is that he has now has a seriously depleted crop of top-level UK fighters and BoxNation remains a UK platform.

For example, I'd like to watch some Top Rank fights but I am not really prepared to pay the subscription charge to watch a flyweight world championship fight from Macau. But I would happily pay a few quid to watch Groves fight for a European title.

In an ideal world the big UK fights are on Sky and all us anoraks can get the big showdown from Cologne, Osaka or Warsaw on Boxnation as well.

But my gut instinct is that Boxnation is not going to make the final bell, even with Bob Arum giving Frank some good fights on account.
