Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?

It's the sign of a smart company who have learned from previous mistakes.

When Chisora faced Klitschko Boxnation were hit with 30,000 people trying to subscribe in the 24 hours leading up to the fight. Boxnation couldn't handle the demand. They decided to show the fight for free which resulted in hundreds of complaints from paying customers. They are trying to avoid a repeat of this and have been telling people who might subscribe for next weeks fight NOT to leave it to the last minute.

Boxnation have been advertising the £10.00 registration charge on their Facebook page, their website, Twitter, The Bunce Boxing Hour and The Sun newspapers for weeks. They have been completely open and honest about the introduction of this charge.

The £10.00 charge is not applicable to Virgin customers. SKY customers can get 2 months of Boxnation for £10.00 by going to www.boxnation.com and enter the promotional code SUNBOXING. The discount offer ends at 11.59pm on July 6.

Whilst typing just got this e-mail from Boxnation:

What happens after the first month?

What if I already have BoxNation?

Then you will not be affected by this fee, and will continue to receive BoxNation for just your regular £10 a month.
