    Sky vs. BoxNation - Who Has The Better Card?

    Was just having a discussion about which of November's big cards in the UK was better. What do you ****s think?

    Eddie Hearn/Mactchroom's Card on November 22nd

    Nathan Cleverly vs. Tony Bellew II (12 Rounds Cruiserweight)
    James DeGale vs. Marco Antonio Periban (IBF Mandatory Position at stake)
    George Groves vs. Denis Douglin (WBC Silver SuperMiddleweight Title)
    Scott Quigg vs. Hidenori Otaki (WBA Regular SuperBantamweight Title)
    Anthony Joshua vs. Michael Sprott (10 Rounds Heavyweight)
    Jamie McDonnell vs. Walberto Ramos (WBA Regular Bantamweight Title)
    Callum Smith vs. Nikola Sjekloca (Elminator for WBC SuperMiddleweight Title)

    Televised on Sky Box Office PPV for £15 on top of monthly subscription to Sky TV which is around £40-£70 depending on your package. Mine is £62 a month.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Frank Warren's Card on November 29th

    Dereck Chisora vs. Tyson Fury (Final Eliminator for WBO Heavyweight Title + British & European Titles at stake)
    Billy-Joe Saunders vs. Chris Eubank Jr. (British/Commonwealth/European Title + Final Eliminator for WBO Middleweight Title)
    Frankie Gavin vs. Bradley Skeete (British Welterweight Title)
    Liam Walsh vs. Gary Sykes (British Super Featherweight Title)

    Televised on BoxNation, Not PPV - subscription costs £12 a month.

    Macthroom's card is clearly stacked with more names but, apart from the main event, they're all fights where the "name" fighter should win quite comfortably. There's no way Cleverly and Bellew should ever headline a PPV so I won't be buying it.

    Warren has a smaller stable and a weaker overall card but his two main fights are far more interesting and meaningful than the entire Matchroom card. Plus it's not PPV.

    Better overall card on paper = Sky.

    Better Value for money = BoxNation

          BoxNation, both headliners are excellent fights.

          The only fight i'm particularly interested in on Sky is DeGale vs Periban.

            I'll take the two fights atop the Boxnation card over the whole Sky card. Lot of names without much on paper interest there.

              Different dates.

              I'll buy the Sky card. Not a great card or worth the money but a good night of boxing.

              I'd chose the Boxnation card but that card isn't great either.

                A lot of names on the Sky card but I think the Boxnation card will be more exciting/competitive.

                  Definitely the BoxNation card.

                    To be honest, I've been moaning like a little b1tch about the Sky card being PPV for weeks but I know I'll probably end up having 6 or 7 beers and hitting "Purchase Event"
