Everything You Can Do on Boxbid Right Now: A Fan's Guide to the New Platform

By The Kimster

Boxbid isn't just a fighter marketplace anymore. The new platform runs a community feed, live voice-and-text fan rooms, a walkable Fight City and three free games that all pay into one points wallet. Here's the tour, and every one of these features gets its own how-to.

The marketplace is still the core. Boxbid's platform totals list 110 boxers, with 242 orders across Buy Now, auctions and donations. The staging site says plainly that prices, bids and fight dates shown in the demo are sample data, while fighter names, records and weight classes are real public information.

Community (/community). Post, like and comment with fans, fighters and brands. You can also add a story that stays up for 24 hours, with videos up to 60 seconds. The feed has For you, Following and Featured tabs, and every post, like and comment earns points.

Fan Rooms (/rooms). These are Boxbid's chat rooms, and there are three of them: the Main Event Lounge, The Gym and The Weigh-In. You walk in as your own boxer and talk by typing, throwing emojis or using the mic.

Fight City (/fight-city). A map of buildings, and "every building pays once a day." The gym has four drills a day, and there's a sparring gym, a Pro Shop where you spend points, a Newsroom, Merch Row, a Sponsor Center, an Arcade, My Locker and fan rooms.

Play (/play). There are three free games. Fight Picker scores your winner, method and round. Guess the Purse pays the closest guesses once a real purse is disclosed. Points Bet lets fans 18 and older stake virtual points at real prices.

Fan Polls (/polls). The live poll right now is "Who should Dubois fight next?", after Dubois stopped Wardley in two.
