Hopefully these techinical difficulties will go away soon so we can watch the live action.

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
 

Damm, boxing on Loaded TV and VM ain't got it! :(

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
 

It wasn't a good show John. The production was terrible also.

Eurosport have a card this coming Friday featuring recent Vitali Klitshcko victim Manuel Charr. It's coming live from Romania, home of horse meat. I'll give it 20 minutes with a beer to see if I can get into it.

Staying up tonight for Rees Vs. Broner. I really like Rees but think Broner is far too quick and strong. Rees has shhown nothing but confidence this week and footage from his training camp was impressive. I also think Rees and his trainer might be feeding the American journalists misleading fight tactics to try and throw Broner on the night.

Think Broner wins however if Rees performs to his best, and Broner starts slow, you just never know.

To be perfectly honest Chad Eurosport's boxing is usually a load of rubbish.

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
 

I love Steve Holdsworths comments if he is on :)

Any one remember Screensport? (showing my age) they used to show loads of boxing.

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
 

Yep!

Eurosport bought it in 1993, took the rights they wanted & closed it down.

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
 

I agree. The Biggers Better series they show is terrible. As a boxing fan however I will watch any televised event, or at least I'll try my best to **** through it.

I enjoy when Holdsworth is working with Ritchie Woodhall. They have great natural rapport and good boxing knowledge.

Here is a Screensport blast from the past:

Boxnation have launched a prediciton and scoring app.

Could be a nice little addition. They use a similar system on ESPN's Friday Night Fights. Been waiting for Boxnation or SKY to launch something like this. Gives the fans at home the chance to score a fight live. Hopefully Boxnation will broadcast how the fans are scoring each round.

Thanks for the info.

George Groves is joining Matchroom Sports

Also another interesting revelation in the article:

"BoxNation are understood to be in serious negotiations to screen Amir Khan’s bout against Julio Diaz at Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena on April 27."

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
 

Frank Warrens 16th March bill is all but dead. The event in Wembley Arena was supposed to be the biggest event of the year so far however Ricky Burns Vs. Miguel Vazquez has been called off. George Groves has quit Warren Promotions and will officially join Matchroom Sports today. Dereck Chisora has also been removed from the bill.

Nathan Cleverly Vs. Robin Krasniqi is still on at this time however with the main event gone and tickets still available, it looks like the whole event will collapse.

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
 

It is now official, the bill is now moved to 20 April

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
 

I'm starting to think it's all lies. Rickys manager is not happy at all:

I can see Ricky leaving Warren real soon. Also apparently Nathan Cleverly has been suffering from a stomach bug?!?! Total rubbish.

Although he is a share holder, Boxnation need to find a way to drop Warren. They'd be better investing in Hatton Promotions and Amir Khan to fill the British dates. Warren is far too reliable. Since Boxnation launched this is about the 6th Warren event to be cancelled. You don't get that on SKY from Matchroom.

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
 

I can still see Boxnation being swallowed by BT Sports as they have had a few backroom people gone from one to the other in the past few months
