Probably a stupid question, but do BoxNation also play classic fights from years ago? I'd love to see some of those classic LaMotta vs. Robinson or Ali vs. Frazier encounters again.

Pretty much the recent repeats are from Frank Warrens archive featuring the likes of Enzo Maccarinelli, Alex Arthur etc... I remember reading either at Boxnation or Twitter that they may introduce action from the archives of Sauerland Events in Germany and Golden Boy Promotions from the States. I also remember reading that through time they might try to introduce MMA to the channel too.
If you have ESPN the first Ali Vs. Frazier and Ali Vs. Frazier III are currently available on demand in the ESPN folder.
Oh I've just remembered reading Boxnation might also have a deal to share some of the KOTV archive which means some classic action might turn up on the channel.

That's me registered via the link provided by Ben. Noticed this info at the bottom:
"*By completing this form you are giving your consent to be contacted by Virgin Media Entertainment, so that Box Nation can be added to your current Virgin TV package. Box Nation upgrades must be kept for at least 30 days. Premium TV Services are provided to you by Virgin Media Entertainment, the trading name of Future Entertainment SARL which is a subsidiary of Virgin Media. Future Entertainment SARL is registered in Luxembourg (registered number B145414). Its registered office is at: Mediacenter, Betzdorf, 11 rue Pierre Werner, L-6832, Luxembourg"
So just like other Premium channels it looks like you're not making any long term commitments by adding the channel.
