True enough. Nothing bad to say about Eddie Hean. He takes risks, he gets his fighters title shots and he's putting on both small hall shows and Wembley megafights. Boxing is in the ascendancy in Britain.
Of course it's better to have home advantage. What's Hearn's record for his fighters away from home?
Brook was always in with a chance of winning. I think Warren made the point that Hearn was sending fighters abroad with zero chance like Brian Rose or Rees.

Of the top of my head, I can think of Froch, Rees, Rose & Bellew who have lost away from home in a title fight.
He has Barker and Brook who's won away.
Regardless, of course it's better to fight at home. However, there are also times when you need to realize that it's impossible to bring a fight over. I mean, did Warren think he was going to get Broner over to the UK to fight Rees? Or Ward? Or Stevenson? Was never going to happen.
