Pay-per-view is one American import they can keep Its totally unfair to those of us that pay a monthly subscription for sports to then pay again if there is a big event.

I couldn't agree more. PPV boxing and PPV WWE are a total farce. At least PPV boxing is on a Saturday night / Sunday monrning. WWE fans pay £15.00 to watch Wrestlmania or Summer Slam on a Sunday night!
If people stop buying the PPV events it kills the demand and the market for it. As long as people buy the shows, they'll keep serving them up.
I pay my TV license, and a subscription to Virgin for TV XL and SKY Sports each month to watch premium TV and sports events. Being asked to pay £15.00 PPV for a 3 hour show in the early hours of the morning is a joke.
At least with Boxnation I will have access to 8 live broadcasts per month plus about 10 hours of action each day from the archives of Frank Warren, Sauerland Events and Golden Boy Promotions. I get the Steve Bunce Boxing Hour each week and shortly BoxNation will have a daily boxing news show.
Hopefully when the channel launches on Virgin an On Demand deal can be agreed too.
