The beginning of the end for B0xnati0n?

[chad]

B0xnati0n have 8 live shows listed between now and the end of July. Buncey stated earlier they'll be showing the finals of the World Series of Boxing during this period plus adding another 3, possibly 4 further shows to that line up.

Looks like the channel is going from strength to strength. 12 live shows in just over 8 weeks is great value.

[CMDY]

Yep, BocksNation good value for this customer, would like to see some more UK Hall shows so UK customers get something entertaining to watch in GMTimezone. Good channel, and happy to subscribe.

Has anyone actually been watching the World Series of Boxing? I started a thread on it and didn't get a single response, so maybe not

“I don’t believe that without significant backing investment it’s a sustainable business. And I’m just giving you that answer cuz you can see their accounts.”

yep.

i'll be surprised if it turns a profit.

let him & his investors keep flushing it down the toilet.

Their accounts are here:

http://companycheck.co.uk/company/07486 ... -MEDIA-LTD

Hard to deduce too much off basic accounts though, they are in a growth and investment phase and the channel has come on in leaps and bounds so there's bound to be liabilities right now. Whether there is ultimately room in the UK market for a boxing only subscription channel is open for debate, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts and I think all boxing fans should support it and hope it continues as long as possible. And that's coming from somebody who seriously dislikes Mr Warren.

i have unsubscribed to the channel and I have also cancelled Sky Sports after 20 years.

allegedly as nothing on at the moment that interests me and Sky Sports because I do not give a poo about the matchroom cards that have their marquee fighters against gimmes

Disagree. The American stuff has been top drawer lately & although the domestic stuff can be a bit shit, some of it is awesome. The Flanagan fight is looking good & if BN get the Fury v Klitschko fight over here then I wont be complaining.

[THEBUTCH]

allegedly are definitely delivering in my book and think £12 a month is good value. If they introduce PPV then that will be another matter, but the 2015 live boxing schedule is impressive and I'm happy customer.

Already looking forward to the Buglioni v Markham rematch.

[pyenest77]

Buglioni v Markham rematch. Forgot about that how can any fan not be interested in that?

[JimJim2009]

It's a great match up but the saying two cart horses still make a race comes to mind. I thinks buglioni is getting further away from British title level every time he fights. In the old days this sort of fight would an area title contest. When fwank was in his promotional heyday at the height of his success you'd never have thought it would come to this one day. I am not knocking the fight or the fighters but in terms of relevance to domestic level, European level or world title level I don't think either of those two would go very far. It'll be a cracking fight and i guess enough notches on the wbo strap will advance buglioni up the rankings....

How can you disagree? I said it had nothing that interested me which is a personal thing. You saying you know what is interesting to me as an individual more than i know myself?

[pyenest77]

I honestly have no interest in your opinion but my opinion is that it is good. So we agree to disagree then if thats the case.

[thatllbeme]

Yang v Cuenca
Bey v Shafikov
Donaire v Settoul
on allegedly 18th July

[chad]

Just finished reading an interview with George Warren (Boxing News) in regards to plans for the channel over the next 6 to 12 months. The wheels are already in motion for:

1. On demand and catch up for TV subscribers

2. B0xnati0n day pass, similar to NOW TV SKY Sports Day pass, for those who just want to watch a particular fight

3. Channel rolled out to 2 / 3 other countries by the turn of the year

No longer the beginning of the end for the channel but the beginning of a new era. Tend to trust George more than his Dad so I've got no doubt changes are definitely on their way.

[ste1983]

They're announcing another big world title fight on the Bunce show Friday too (3rd week on the trot)

I'm guessing it's Bradley Vs. Rios.

Iv'e been pushing for http://boxrec.com/show/718330 Buncey is on board so let's see what happens. Midweek show from Russia, can't beat it

Yeah that would be really good. I'm actually really impressed by BN, given that they are David to Sky's Goliath money wise, they have a lot of good fights, especially for the more hardcore boxing fan, rather than the casuals and good foreign shows.

Is that UK alone or are they already in some Western European countries?

UK and Ireland I think, only other country that it's possibly available in is Russia, that was supposed to start a couple of months ago but I'm not sure whether it did or not.

[milpool]

current subscriber base is 150,000.

I'm not in the know to understand if that's a sustainable figure or not, but I reckon 150,000 is pretty good.

I'll be honest, I wouldn't be without BN, I love it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they got the November 4th card in Russia http://boxrec.com/show/718330 I really hope so anyway.

Would be a good addition, midweek fights are always nice and with the time difference to Russia it should be on quite early. Derry Mathews is meant to be fighting on November 14th too against Barroso, if he isn't then Nick Blackwell's fighting that night on Channel 5 and I would presume Lenny Daws too after Hennessey won the purse bids for his European title fight.

Another one I forgot to add on there is Lee-Saunders, Fwank said in his interview after Buglioni's fight that it's looking like that will be December 19th, once they get it cleared with the doctor that Billy Joe is fit to fight.
