BN is better value and it's not even close. They've also been showing the WSB and will probably pick up a few more international shows at short notice.

Frank being with BT is huge.
The value in getting Sky over BN was always the extra sports, or even movies/entertainment. Now if you were buying just for sport and were a huge boxing fan that liked footy or the wrestling, Sky was always premium. Someone who lives and breathes boxing and cares for nothing else would choose allegedly for the international fights!
BN & Frank now have BT, which means football and MMA is available to those who also wanna own a BN subscription.
It's really a more casual market for sky and a hardcore market for BN, hence why Sky are the front runners in British boxing, things may change if Frank utilises the tools he has now, and provides a better production.

BN/BT without a doubt. Better fights, more fights, less money. No contest.

For a little while there Sky was picking up the international stuff but it looks like that dried up over the next couple months. That was always where BN had the edge for me and it looks as if they may be investing in that again, which is excellent news

The schedule in the next couple of weeks does speak for itself BT/nation all the way but to be fair to Sky they have shown a few international cards this year Degale-Jack,Frampton-Santa Cruz both good cards also the Wilder card which had the fun Brezeale fight but coming up it`s BT/NATION all the way,but I'm looking forward to Crolla-Linares and Burns-Indongo is good matchmaking also a bit of Friday night boxing with the Matchroom next gen thing next week.

Purely on boxing alone then it's BN. For an overall sports package in terms of football, cricket etc then obviously Sky is miles better than BT.

I also wonder about BN; I think it used to be a lot better. There's a sort of awareness that whenever someone gets seriously big they'll be on Sky.
