      Boxing seems to be on the up in England at the moment. We've had decent amateur success in the last few years culminating in 2 decent Olympics. You also can't underestimate the effect AJ has had on the sport here. He travelled all over the country for his early fights and gained massive amounts of support.

      I also think Tyson fury has helped too. He's made more front page headlines recently but that helps also.

          Absolutely.

          Fighters are always supported, whether they have no losses or 5 losses.

          Domestic level fights sell out arenas, big fights can sell out stadiums, the pricing is better, the atmosphere is better, it's a thriving sport.

            For example khan-Brook, wlad-Aj. or AJ-Fury compared to wilder-jennings, or thurman garcia. It seems objectively, the UK market big fights are going to do much better than American big fights?

            Does hearn have the edge due to loyal brit fans?
            For Brit fighters yes....otherwise no.
