Remember when it launched BoxNation promised to deliver 2 shows per week. Well looking ahead, they are going to find it tough to compete with SKY in March. Here's SKY's confirmed list so far:

03rd March - Jamie McDonnell Vs. Malik Bouziane

03rd March - Wladimir Klitschko Vs. Jean-Marc Mormeck

17th March - Kell Brook Vs. Matthew Hatton

17th March - Sergio Martinez Vs. Matthew Macklin

24th March - Ryan Rhodes Vs. Sergey Rabchenko

24th March - Danny Garcia Vs. Erik Morales

31st March - Brian Rose Vs. Max Maxwell

BoxNation have:

10th March - Ricky Burns Vs. Paulus Moses

16th March - George Groves Vs. Kenny Anderson

23rd March - Enzo Maccarinelli Vs. Shane McPhilbin

For a boxing fan 10 live shows in a month is great but on reflection it can't be good news for Frank Warren / BoxNation that SKY have stepped up to the plate. Here's some quotes from the BoxNation website that might be coming back to bite them on the behind much sooner than anticipated:

"Are you tired of shelling out for single pay per view events that fail to deliver? Or unsatisfied with the lack of live boxing coverage on the major broadcast networks?"

"It's really simple, for just £10 a month you will get exclusive access to the big live fights from all around the world"

"We are going to show you more live boxing than anyone else. (And better boxing)"
