Love this, these two are great together

[@danielhenderson1744]

Never mind expected this parsons guy to be so young!!! Good on Eddie for giving the young guy a chance. Said it before and I’ll say it again,no matter what u think of Eddie and matchroom,it’s undeniable that he is the best promoter in boxing! So accessible and open with the fans! No promoter gets close to this guy! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@benjamminsax6584]

Good to see Eddie giving the younger generation an opportunity and platform for success! Great work 👍👌

Thank you!

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Well played Parsons, I couldn't do this at 39 let alone 19! Only bad thing is timing as a lot of this stuff was covered in Kugans podcast very recently. But still always worth a watch when Hearn is talking about life etc. Fair play, good job!

[@geedog1976]

Not to much of a bad thing as some don’t want to listen to kugans podcast 😊

Eddie is the GOAT!

Good work Parsons. Enjoyed that, great content! Eddie gets plenty of stick but there isn't anyone at his level at this point 🐐

[@consularorc4760]

I think Hearn would make an excellent PM

[@nickkray5938]

He's no where near corrupt enough.

[@dalerobinson1604]

Absolutely love Parsons for this grind and finally see his mug - production value? Leave it out, he’s hustled, Eddie respects the grind … I’m alright with this just 2 minutes in - cracking start and looking forward tom the rest. Eddie is succession planning for Kuge’s 😂

[@gazoakleychef]

But parsons let’s up the production levels

When Eddie said at the beginning that's like me saying it's the Eddie Hearn Show. I immediately thought of the presser with Haye & Bellew lol Good stuff Parsons.

[@wanchai3870]

Go on parsons

[@Bigdrew138]

It’s so disgusting how many people here in the comments hate on this young man who is trying to make a living doing interviews and this man who is trying to deliver great fights for the people. So disgusting. Miserable ppl.

[@anUntouchable]

Hearn is the best out there but he has 100% taken his eye off the ball. Many missed signings and disastrous PR with the Conor situation. FW has overtaken him in the UK

[@leem8249]

matchroom had a below par year last year but still well in front, ben shalom is more of a threat to hearn than warren lets be honest.

[@liamroskell8055]

The 3 major players all had a good year in 2022. Not everything has to be a competition. It might seem weird to some but you can like Boxxer without disliking Queensbury and Matchroom and vice versa. Shalom came out strongly with Brook/Khan, Taylor/Catteral was a nice surprise and they had some decent next generations scattered across the cards, can't forget Sheilds/Marshall. Queensbury had the Fury roadshow and a breakout year for Joyce, the Yarde/Arthur fight was great showcase of the sport. Matchroom whilst it might have been a lesser year to the Matchroom standard. They still had fight of the year with Wood/Conlan, plenty to talk about up in Leeds. Breakout years form some of their prospects mainly Dalton Smith, Callum Smith making highlight reels around the globe and they put on the biggest UK PPV of the year. UK Boxing is in a healthy spot and as a fan that's great for me, don't care who is putting on the shows so long as they are good I'll tune in.

Eddie saying he worked for 25 years,it’s not like he’s working on a site digging holes or scaffolding,he’s been lucky and been handed a platform,yes he’s a great promoter but he’s definitely full of himself at Times

The titles of the timestamps are hilarious. 🤣 "Conor Benn vs Chris Eubank Jr - what it did to Eddie's mental health". Because he's the victim after trying to get a fighter killed, covering up Benn's pregnancy. Get the violin out. Next level narcissist. 💀

Lol, I can confirm my Barnet was in a similar state to Hearn’s back then and I’m currently sporting a grade 0. 😅

[@rjsampsonrs]

Alright folks, get ready for a tale about the boxing interviewer on KZbin, Charlie Parsons. Now, I don't know if you've seen this guy, but he's a real piece of work. He's got this smug grin on his face, like he's the smartest guy in the room. And he loves to talk about boxing, like he's some kind of expert. But let me tell you, folks, this guy doesn't know the first thing about boxing. He's just a talking head, spewing out whatever nonsense he thinks will get him more clicks. And the worst part is, he's got this cult following of people who actually believe what he says. I mean, come on! This guy has never stepped into a ring in his life. He's never taken a punch to the face, never felt the adrenaline rush of a fight. He's just a keyboard warrior, hiding behind his computer screen. And don't even get me started on his interviews. He's always asking the most basic, generic questions. "How did you prepare for this fight?" "What's your strategy going into the ring?" It's like he's reading off a script that he found on Google. But the worst part is, he's always trying to stir up drama. He'll ask a fighter about their opponent's personal life, or try to get them to trash-talk each other. It's like he's more interested in creating controversy than actually talking about the sport. So, if you see Charlie Parsons on KZbin, just remember: he's a fraud. A phony. A charlatan. He doesn't know anything about boxing, and he's just trying to create drama for his own benefit. Don't believe a word he says, folks. Stick to the real fighters, the ones who actually step into the ring and put their bodies on the line.
