Comments Thread For: Klitschko-Fury: Warren/Hennessy Rift? BoxNation is Out

[NEETzsche]

I must admit I'm almost completely lost on all the UK boxing politics. Are BoxNation & Sky like the HBO & Showtime of the UK? I love the concept of BoxNation being a boxing channel & am rooting for them so disappointed they didn't get this fight, but like I said idk all the boxing politics going on in the UK marketplace.

Can't we all just get along? Again a reason I'm rooting for a elite boxing league. Too many chiefs not enough indians in boxing. Give me less people with power in boxing any day of the week & the sport ultimately starts moving in the right way for the sport instead of the right way for this guy today & that guy tomorrow that leaves the sport in the same place it was last week of being a corrupt cluster**** of confusion for the casuals & hardcores alike.

boxnation just can't compete with the resources of sky and matchroom. any "must-watch" fight or fighter will always end up on sky. i'm no big fan of warren, he was far worse than hearn back when he was the main man, but i do love boxnation and it'll be really disappointing if they're forced out of the game. you can't trust sky to cover overseas fights that don't in some way pertain to british fighters, plus all of the pundits on there are clueless ****s. if boxnation folds then i really hope that buncey will land on his feet

**** that, i'm streaming it if its not on Boxnation. The Sky Sports team can be genuinely awful, and they charge you up the arse anyway, for both Sky and Sky Sports, just to add the PPV on top.

Boxnation needs fights like this if they are going to keep their subscriber base. They cant compete with Sky on making their own fights on British ground, but they can snap up fights from abroad and keep their hardcore boxing fanbase happy. This fight seemed like a gimme for them too.

While I don't know all the politics with the promoters & channels in the UK I'm sure Bunce keeps standing. He's one of those cats who regardless if I agree or disagree with him on any particular thing I can feel his love of the sport in his words & actions. I see that in guys like Kellerman & Bernstein & all 3 of those guys will be working in boxing as long as they wanna work in boxing imo.

Boxnation is for the hardcore boxing fans and Sky is for the casuals, With the stable Mathroom have the cards they put on are a joke Boxnation is a bargain compared to Sky but the future is not looking good the cards they have over the next couple of month are terrible.

At a bid of $18m, do you honestly believe that BoxNation wasn't going to put the fight on PPV? gtfoh

you were going to be streaming this fight anyway; don't try and use this move to try and pick up some high-mindedness. lol

Sky are starting to piss me off with this crap. After 2-3 years of quite good/consistent boxing coverage, things are starting to go downhill again. As Sky are paying more and more for the Premier League, boxing fans are getting screwed with having to pay more (more PPV events per year) and getting less (no weekly Ringside, less events on regular Sky Sports). BoxNation should have been given this event after their support/coverage of Tyson Fury, they became his broadcaster after he had spent a lot of time out of the ring.
