Still seems up and running. I really doubt this will have much of a future to be honest. They've only really shown 3 fighters on a PPV basis over the last 12 months being Amir Khan, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. With Khan going back to SKY, and Goldenboy Promotions back on speaking terms with SKY also, the only real PPV fighter they seem to have access too is Manny Pacquiao.
Unless Pacman faces Mayweather in May, I can't see how many boxing fans would pay £14.99 to watch something like Pacman Vs. Marquez IV at 5:30am in the morning.
When SKY pulled the plug on SKY Box Office 6 months ago they where making a statement that for now, they didn't see value in PPV boxing. Essentially this is what led to BoxNation being born. With fight fans getting live boxing on Channel 5, Eurosport, ESPN, SKY Sports, Premier Sports and BoxNation there will be little to no appetite to pay £14.99 for 3 hours of action from the small hours of the morning.
