Can I ask Box Nation fans if the channel negotiations went well before it came to VM.

It might shed some light as to why there is such anger and angst by some over PS not accepting a similar berth in a Premier channel spot?

Funny you should ask, I was just thinking about this earlier.

Everything seemed to be straight forward. Boxnation launched about 3 months earlier on SKY and was free to air during that period. It didn't come to Virgin Media until 3rd December 2011 which was the day the channel encrypted and became a subscription based service. Frank Warren and Boxnation confirmed from day 1 that it was their intention to get the channel on the Virgin Media platform.

I have no idea how or why Premier Sports are having such a difficult time trying to get their channel onto the Virgin Media platform. Boxnation Chairman Richard Brooke and Boxnation Chief Executive Simon Green had both previously worked for SKY and Setanta Sports. Maybe they know how the pay TV game works a little better than the guys running the show at Premier Sports.

Chad thanks for that. This is what I suspected that PS are imo wrong to be so awkward. If their product is as good as they and others say they should come onto VM and see who subscribes.

Box Nation I assume are doing ok from being a Premier channel on platforms including VM?

Sorry PS but you should have followed Box Nation's example it seems....

Nice little announcement today from Boxnation regarding midweek boxing on the channel.

"BOXNATION once again proves it's the only place for weeknight boxing as we've signed a deal to bring you the entire hit Golden Boy on Fox series.

It starts this Wednesday night at 7pm with the latest instalment of this fantastic US series, where hot prospect Jermell Charlo puts his 21-0 record on the line against veteran Jose Angel Rodriguez."

There is another 3 shows currently listed on Boxrec. The great news is Goldenboy have a 24 fight deal with FOX Sports which should mean plenty of midweek entertainment in the coming months.

The crowd looked wild. Would love to fly over to see a fight there.

Plenty of boxing on SKY and Boxnation tomorrow night. It's soemthing crazy like 15 hours in total.

For those staying up to watch Hopkins Vs. Murat here is a helpful reminder from Boxnation:

"Don't forget, the clocks go back one hour at 2am, so note that this show will start at 2am British Summer Time and 1am Greenwich Mean Time. So, if you change your clocks back the show will go on air at 1am. If you leave your clocks as they are, the show will go on air at 2am."

this was announced 2 weeks ago but last nights show hasn't been mentioned! strange that they sign a deal to show the entire season but the 1st show after isn't on boxnation!
