    Queensburys roster was alot weaker then so they had very little PPV options

    It's better now but still slim pickings

    100%

    his signings have been terrible
    his shows have been terrible
    he's poor in interviews
    the name 'boxxer' is so bland for a promotional company
    he's focused far too much on female boxing

    he really doesn't have a clue

    Agree with most of this. The name boxxer isnt a problem though, matchroom, queensbury arent particularly attractive

    I know they are still building their roster, but it 's weird how Boxxer seem to make (multi-fight) contracts with certain fighters and then suddenly they are "free agents". Like Joseph Parker, Jack Catterall, Lerrone Richards, Michael McKinson and Michael Hunter. Even Eubank Jr left them for the Benn fight. I thought Claressa Shields had a multi-fight deal with them as well.

    Multi fight deal can mean 2 fights.

    His signings have been strange to say the least. He's gone for the most boring fighters possible

    Lawrence Okolie
    Joseph Parker
    Hughie Fury
    Michael Mckinson
    Lerrone Richards
    & a load of female fighters most fans aren't interested in

    maybe Kid Galahad will be next:lol:

    Or the ones that other promoters aren’t fussed on at the levels he’s paying them. Okolie is getting mega money for that David Light fight than he’s worth

    If Parker was only signed to a 2 fight deal, what was the point in giving him an easy comeback against Massey

    Parkers absolutely had it off and pulled shaloms pants down with the deal he got. Two fight deal, took a decent amount off the sky platform to get beaten down by Joyce then woulda taken a decent amount from fighting Jack Massey.

    Bizarre Business.

    Parker vs Dubois makes sense - loser is done and winner bullies themselves back up.
