Is Boxnation totally redundant now ?

Its still on, as a BT subscriber i can still access, not sure for how long though.

 

It’s a very niche channel now- certainly not worth £12 a month.

It could be argued that the closure of the channel would be to the benefit of BT.

 

It's still worth a couple of quid a week to see the likes of Lomachenko live. The Top Rank foreign broadcast team are the absolute dregs though, especially Crystina Poncher. Sounds like a Vegas hooker trying a Manny Steward impersonation.

 

They’ve dumped the HD channel. It left Sky a few months back and is still on BT but hasn’t shown anything since. Only the Kovalev v Alvarez rematch is in their upcoming schedule. Might be time to pull the plug.

 

I've been with Boxnation from day 1, though I get it through BT now, and it would be terribly sad if it went. That said, all Dazn on sky and Showtime and Fox on itv, only leaves Top Rank and Macklin on the channel which is very thin. Also they don't seem to pick up every Top Rank show. There's Jennings Rivas in January and that's not on the schedule. Even though the pick up of fights could be frustrating, it was great fun at it's peak and played a huge part in getting us to the place we are now regarding overseas fights on tv.

 

Boxnation is absolutely dead. I cant see them still being around by the middle of 2019.

I was a subscriber from 2013 until June/July 2018. I dropped the subscription when I dropped my cable provider and changed to a new set up.

It wasnt worth it any longer, in the end they werent even showing minor cards which would have cost them tuppence to pick up. It really should have been their absolute minimal viable product to show as many live cards and recent cards as possible, but it ended up being a long line up of repeats of old fights and interviews.

 

Wasnt it franks own channel which he bankrolled?. Will be sad to see the end of boxnation. They gave us khan vs canelo, canelo GGG, amongst many pacman fights.

 

Never subscribed myself but must say the way loyal Boxnation subscribers have been treated is shocking.

The lack of transparency and communication has been disgraceful.

When Frank moved to BT, the only reason for keeping Boxnation going is for the time when he falls out with BT Sports as he has done with every other Broadcaster.

 

Find these threads odd.

Does anybody actually watch it?

There’s been 1 or 2 live shows every weekend since the start of the season,even 3 once or twice.

 

Pretty much. I canned the channel ages ago, nothing at all of note on there.

 

No Bill Ives bankrolled it, perhaps it was some kind of tax write off or something. The day he died the channel essentially died too.

 

I reckon it's Frank's backup plan if things go tits up with BT.

 

I subscribed but cancelled about a year ago. There's nothing whatsoever wrong with the concept, and for a long time the small monthly fee seemed good value for money relative to big PPV and sky sports costs and subscriptions. The output seemed to tail off to me and, as someone with less interest in small hall shows, I wasn't watching much.

Boxnation is basically a poor mans DAZN. An attempt, without streaming or a fraction of the money, to build up a subscription base for a low monthly fee. You really do need some deep pockets for that. The egg has to come before the chicken.

 

Never understood why they don't try to pick up some of the Japanese cards personally
