Yes nrico you will still have to pay.  They've worded it so it looks like a better deal than it is.

This month boxnation introduced a registration fee of £10.  So on top of having to pay your monthly subscription of £10 you will now also have to pay a one off subscription charge of £10.  The sun offer basically waives this charge.

They were doing an offer of two months for one month but think that has now ended.

Have qualms about watching the fight.  Think it is ridiculous how Warren and co have been able to circumvent the board.  The board have been shown up to look pretty toothless and unorganised during this whole debacle.  Haye and Chisora shouldn't be profiting from what happened in Germany especially in their home country. But I haven't got my value out of box nation since i began subscribing (just before the Mayweather vs Cotto fight) and there's quite a few lads landing around my place so think i will be taking the moral low ground on this one  ;)

Poor fight I thought.

Kahn stopped in 4th after looking to be in control over the first two rounds! Garcia connected with a big shot at end of third which took the legs from Kahn. Fourth round was a good old fashioned slugfest until Kahn couldn't take no more!

Khan was brave but he's been on the floor so often in his career that this shouldn't have been such a big surprised. The odds were completely lopsided considering Garcia was an undefeated WBC champion facing a fighter who'd lost his last fight.

For Khan to even dream of a shot at Mayweather is a joke. Strip away the hype and the guy is miles off the mark.

Suffering defeat after defeat and he hasn't really fought anyone at the very top level. He should really be dropping down to European level, another over rated Brit who got handy fights to get him where he is today. Referring to himself as a superstar during the week I believe. What a bellend.

Khan was picking him apart at will in the first two rounds, so in a pure boxing sense it was hardly lopsided. As can happen of course though, he got tagged with a good shot and has been proven previously not to have the best of chins.

Radda bout yeee

Totally agree - Use to kind of like him but now i can't even watch him get beat up cause he's such a tool!

Khan really is found wanting at this level.  Hyped up to the eyeballs, fair play to his managemen team for getting him this far, bullshit sells.  American public have now seen him beat twice in a row, could be it for him over there.

I hope there is a rematch with Paul McCloskey, and hopefully Dudey can finish Khan's career!

If Khan's off top level then Dudey is another ten mile off that.  Destroyed by a journey man last day out, you can't afford to fight with your hands down and not expect to get caught at that level, which is still some distance from the top level Khan has been fighting at. 

McCloskey has fought like that his whole career and he probably won't change now, he only needs caught once and its game over, and he will get caught at that level, you can be sure of that!

In reality, Khan is probably just above European level, on the bottom rung of the world level with a glass jaw that has been exposed time and time again.  McCloskey is European level I think and he'll struggle to get above that both with his ability and the fights that are available to him.  I'd love to be proved wrong by McCloskey all the same, can't say the same for Khan all the same...  ;)

This is laughable, Dudey had his chance and is just about European standard, he never layed a glove on Khan for 6 rounds  ;D

Khan was well in contention after 2 rounds that fight and probably winning the third until he got tagged, he has a weak punch resistance but at least his fights are entertaining.

Dudey got schooled by a journey man Marcus DeCorley so there is no chance he will get a rematch with AK unless they decide to build Kahn back up with a couple of domestic high profile fights that he will easily win.
