eir Sport has added popular boxing channel, BoxNation, to the eir Sport pack.
eir has taken another step in its quest to be the dominant broadband and TV provider for Ireland’s sports fans by adding BoxNation to the eir Sport pack.
BoxNation becomes the seventh channel available on the pack, joining eir Sport 1, eir Sport 2, BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2, BT Sport Europe and BT Sport ESPN.
eir Sport is currently available for free to eir broadband customers and just last month, the provider made Sky Sports available for €1 a month for 6 months to new customers.

Some customers in Ireland are currently paying €15 a month for the channel, which adds up to €180 over the course of a year.

The channel is automatically available now on your set top box and via the eir Sport app.
