It also said that PPV events will only be available as PPV - and HD subscribers will still get HD.
Thing is PPV events are currently free to BoxNation HD subscribers.

Yeah it's a complicated deal.
My understanding is that there will be PPV's next year for the likes of Golovkin Vs. Saunders and Mayweather Vs. Pacquaio II. Possibly 4 PPV's per year going forward for the biggest domestic and international cards.
Boxnation subscribers on SKY will get these shows included as part of their subscription at no extra cost on the Boxnation HD / Boxnation Box Office channel. Those who get Boxnation as part of the BT Sports pack, rather than subscribing directly from Boxnation, from January will not get these PPV shows as part of their package and will need to pay the PPV fee to watch.
"The ground-breaking deal will see a further ten events per year, including top tier pay-per-view events and other high-quality domestic shows broadcast,
exclusively on BoxNation."
It's messy but clearly something will need to change on the Virgin Media platform to facilitate the PPV shows.
