I'm assuming you are being tongue-in-cheek but if you are not you'll learn everything you need to know at the following sites:

I won 2 yesterday myself but had to confirm via e-mail I couldn't go. I was e-mailed from Boxnation asking me to reply if I could actually use the tickets and go to the event. I was not happy. I e-mailed them back thanking them for the opportunity but also questioned their logic. Why leave it until about 22 hours before the show starts to confirm the winners? If I has been told earlier in the week I could have arranged travel and accommodation.

I've not heard anything back from them.

I have been with Virgin from the very beginning paying nearly £30/Month for Sky Sports purely just to watch boxing. Now I find that BoxNation is unavailable to me I will be cancelling SkySports & my Virgin account completely & will be moving to Sky - If Virgin media don't do something soon I am sure like me many other true boxing fans will do the same

BoxNation have said via their web site that they hope to launch on Virgin 'in the next few weeks'.

Yup, various sources all seem to be pointing towards a December launch on Virgin. Looks like Boxnation could be aiming to have the channel on Virgin for Cotto Vs. Margarito II on the 3rd December. Apart from Haye Vs. Klitschko, Cotto Vs. Margarito II is the biggest fight of 2011. Would be a real shame if Virgin customers miss out however I have faith the channel will be up and running by then. Cotto Vs. Margarito II would be an excellent fight to announce the channels arrival on Virgin.

On a separate note, go Rickster! Katsidis will be a real tough challenge for him tonight. Watching this in my Mum and Dad's house with my Dad and 2 brothers. Mum, bless her, has got the Pizzas and Beer in for us.

George Groves Vs. Paul Smith - Groves to win by points

Ricky Burns Vs. Michael Katsidis - Katsidis to win by stoppage

Maybe that just for Sky viewers with an later date for they Virgin Viewers - we just have to wait and see what going to happen next with BoxNation on Virgin.

It would be quite a coo if Virgin got December free from BoxNation!
I dont see t to be honest, Do we know if there is a 12 month contract with BoxNation or will it be a month by month deal like Sky Sports is on Virgin?

All pay extra channels (Sky Sports, Racing UK) on Virgin you only need in for 30 days.

So BoxNation will be on an month by month when it goes £10 pm on Virgin.
