Unfortunately for Boxnation SKY customers are having all sorts of problems adding the service:

I hope they can sort this out shortly as I really want Boxnation to be a success. The more customers the better.

Also the Boxnation site has now been updated. Total overhaul:

Hi Chad, thanks so much for your messages, we really appreciate the feedback and are taking it all on board. What do you think of the new site btw?

The design of the site is good, it's got a real old school boxing poster feel to it.

One helpful addition would be TV listings showing what is actually on your channel each day. Also confirmation of who you have content deals with, if you are allowed to reveal this info. Finally some info regarding fights coming soon would be great.

Looking forward to this Saturdays action. Hope it's Andy Kerr and Buncey in the studio.

Good luck!

Cotto Vs. Margarito 24/7 would be great! A news section on the site would be a really good idea.

Thanks Chad and dempseyjack, I have passed your recommendations onto our site managers for consideration, we're definitely aiming to have a lot more useful information up there soon.

That's great news. Through time it would be good if the BoxNation website had it's own forum for subscribers and boxing fans to meet up and chat. I know you already have Twitter and Facebook accounts but I feel there could be real value in your own dedicated forum. As you'll already know boxing fans like to chat online before, during and after fights. People watching fights on BoxNation need a place to meet.

I really like the idea of having ticket info available on the site. Maybe BoxNation customers could get a little discount, or first choice of tickets, whenever a Frank Warren or Queensberry Promotion show is announced.

Competitions would be great too. Who doesn't like the chance of winning a freebie? Even if it was just BoxNation T-shirts!

The guys at BoxNation will need to spend all this incoming subscription money on updating and maintaining their website at this rate

i registered on the site to win tickets to the groves smith burns katsidis fights and also got my mates to enter,one of my mates won 2 tickets and i was going to go with him but we didnt find out until 8pm on the friday night and i was at work at 8am saturday so it didnt give me any time to sort someone to cover me and i couldnt go so it would be better with a bit of notice(i live just outside middlesbrough)

"BoxNation will also show two episodes of the multi-award winning HBO 24/7 documentary series that follows both fighters with unparalleled access as they head towards their rematch".

Usually there is 4 episodes to 24/7 however I believe there has only been 3 filmed for Cotto Vs. Margarito II. It would have been great to see all 3 episodes on BoxNation however 2 is better than none!

If you can't wait you can watch plenty, and I mean plenty, of pre-fight hype over on the HBO website:

I think the first 2 episodes of 24/7 are there too at the moment.

I think for future competitions BoxNation will need to announce the winners a little earlier in the week to allow people to plan their journey. I watched the Burns Vs. Katsidis with my Dad and 2 brothers at my parents and had a great night. It's not often us Scots have a world champion at anything!

I wonder if BoxNation HD was part of the deal Virgin Media signed ?
