I've just cancelled sky because the boxing is so rubbish. Even a half decent flight is spoiled by the commentary and pundits.

Garbage

Yup. I cancelled sky 3 years ago. I used a now pass to watch one show last year (I think Kovalev Ward?) I can't watch PPV using this method. But there are other means. Any half decent name will be PPV anyway

This needs addressing. Everyone knows he's contracted to get two a year until he wins one, times cracking on now to announce the first.

I did exactly the same. Got a Now TV pass for Kovalev-Ward, just ended up watching other big fights I was interested in (e.g. Frampton-Santa Cruz 2 / DeGale-Jack) on YouTube the next morning. Saves me a fortune and I honestly don't feel I'm missing out. Still subscribe to B0xnati0n though, partly out of a misguided sense of loyalty, but mainly for the excellent international coverage and the stuff that isn't shown anywhere else (e.g. the WSB).

Yep I'm same as you two above, now I get a pass if essential, and PPV it's down the pub otherwise.
Added bonus of the pub is the appalling commentary & godawful punditry is drowned out.

I'm still with BN, and while their presentation is LIGHT YEARS better than sky ( and that ain't saying much ) they need to up there game with the fights they're offering, otherwise I'm signing out.

I mean, I know there hasn't been a hell of a lot on lately, but they should've picked up Frampton and DeGale for instance ....but for now I'm staying loyal

I'm fairly fed up with Sky too - if I had it just for the boxing, I would have cancelled by now. And was going to cancel if they dropped Eurosport. But to be fair to them about this press release, they are hardly going to say "2017 will be not bad but maybe not quite as good as some previous years".
