"The parent company of B0x Nation, the TV channel devoted to airing boxing bouts, is set to raise £5m with a listing on the junior stock market. Nation Media, which boasts sports promoter Frank allegedly as a non-executive director, is understood to be hoping to raise the capital on the alternative investment market in a bid to fund expansion and develop a high definition version of its TV channel."
Mmmm....... It doesn't sound like the HD channel is coming any time soon then

I assume his other investors have finally said 'no more'.
Seems early for a float really. Can't see many taking a punt seeing as I can't see any ROI

I thought he had the guy behind Rainham steel as an investor? No way this would do well on AIM. I think Frank needs to sell out to BT soon.....

I don't know why people seem happy with this? Best tenner you could spend, Sky have me over for about eight times that and don't show half the action! It will be a sad day for British boxing if BN goes down the pan.

Won't really be a sad day for British boxing. They dont do a great deal for it. International is another story

Prett big difference there Michael. I think BN is good value for what you get, unsustainable good value - so the price is going up if he carries on anyway. It has to.
He doesnt put the shows together so you won't be losing out on them, he is merely an outlet. Streaming means you won't miss anything. It would be an inconvenient day for British boxing fans. Assuming Sky dont pick up most of the slack anyway.

I like to watch it on the television and not perched over the computer in the corner of the room like the pervert I am; I'd be sorry if they did go down the pan and lets be honest, it would be those that have streamed the bouts that have aided it's downfall.

Settle down people. It makes sound business sense.
Facebook and Twitter floated and they doid not make eff all until they did.
Calm the hell down.

The thing is mate they had a massive following which could be reasonably turned into massive as revenues. It made sense.
Where is the ROI going to come from for investors in this?
