Why is there no Boxnation equivalent in America?

Why do y’all keep trying to compare British Boxing to American Boxing? Boxing is boxing no matter what country it is in.

UK boxing is lower level

American and Mexican boxing is the cream of the crop.

Boxnation is a dedicated channel for the sport.
It not only shows UK fighters, but fighters from all over the world, past and present.
They also have their regular discussions about fights and fighters almost everyday.
There's nothing like that here, absolutely nothing.

Do people actually read before they comment? And I don't think it's because America doesn't have their own version of boxnation. I just think sports popularity varies from country to country boxing is no longer popular here because people have become more drawn to basketball, football, etc.

It would be nice if we had some equivalent to it

I don't know honestly. There are channels dedicated to far more niche hobbies or things then boxing. I've wondered why no one has started one yet.

The UFC gots Fight Pass & is making ~$4M a month for the UFC. The WWE Network has been around a lil longer & is making ~$12M a month. And looking at rumored BoxNation numbers it looks like they are probably making ~$2M a month. Idk how much you need to start such a network or to maintain it so idk what the profit would look like, but it seems like a long time profitable move & if you are making $24M-$144M a year I'd assume you gotta be in profit or will be shortly.

British have 24hr boxing channel.

In America, they show girl softball games over Boxing on ESPN. That is how significant boxing is in America.

UK boxing is way bigger

I'd be willing to pay for a monthly subscription.
That's all I'm saying.
Lots of things to cover not just boxing,
press cons, weigh-ins, face-offs, interviews,
non-US fights, etc. just to fill the void when there are no fights.
Three US boxing networks and they can't even give fans
weekly fights.

Yea same here, would gladly pay. It would probably be one of the only things I watch, if the sport somehow becomes more relevant here in sure someone would do it. Ffs they got channels for literally everything nowadays
