    "Parsons" has to be one of the most annoying characters to emerge in boxing fan media. UmarIFLUmar was bad enough but at least he got on the wrong side of Hearn for a while; Parsons more than just a sycophant, he's an anal probe.

    He needs to be exterminated. The little runt starts interviews with Eddie by calling him "Edwardinho".

    Fckng be a bit more professional and take the interview seriously. This cnt has made a mockery of the role.

    I guess he's the current useful idiot for whom Hearn gets to look domineering whilst giving a young guy a chance.

    That being said - I could always skip past the videos. I blocked IFL ages ago but Boxing Social has some other decent interviewers and I don't always check who's on!

    What role is that? Interviewer? From what I can tell he’s got himself access, a profile and views. Fair play to the fella.

    He asks some decent questions to be fair to him but he is so annoying. He is only a year older than me and is doing well for himself. Boxing Social have got a lot more access to Hearn since Parsons joined and replaced Rob Tebbutt and Andi Purewal.

    So you are a young man of 18 years. Couldn't Eddie Hearn afford you since you had to find a job ? :)

    They were in trouble when they tried to make Okolie the face of Sky! Whittaker's career is slowly going down the drain and this recent Fraze clash doesn't help. Only glimmer of hope they have is Adam Azim

    He gets pat-on-head answers and clickbait rants in response for that access, and the questions aren't exactly hard-hitting. I'd rather have some integrity and annoy Hearn, Warren or anyone else into the odd ban by asking them what's necessary without the desperation to be fake friends at the same time.

    Good on "Parsons" for making a go of it but you just get the feeling he'll be disposed before too long.

    Could you imagine announcing and going on sale with an event and the venue doesnt even have a license. This is the inexperience being spoken about.

    If this gets pulled they will be in serious trouble having to refund and find a new venue and the PR will be a nightmare

    Wow.i thought the stadium had been sorted out. I'm pretty sure they will come to an agreement but it's not ideal for the promotion for it.

    Look at this too.

    Imagine if Liam Smith leaves Boxxer after beating Eubank again who himself will likely not fight on Sky in the foreseeable future. Ben Shalom is under serious pressure as I already said.

    I imagine it shouldn't be a problem but again rookie mistakes from Ben Shalom after the mess with Catterall and then having to deliver a stadium fight for Billam-Smith as part of his contract.

    Reading the actual article linked in that tweet it seems more of a click bait headline, they have had 5 objections from what seems to be some local Karen’s getting their knickers in a twist, I doubt it’s actually anything to be concerned about.
