        Think it started on Frampton cards in N.Ireland, and Hearn commandeered it as a way to boost the crowd.

        Was kinda fun at first but way overused now.

          'Seven nation army' always seems to get a run out also.

            Been wondering this. I like it. It brings an atmosphere with it that I've never experienced at a fight in the US. I can see how it'd get old if you were a UK fan or just not feeling the song. I kinda think of it as UK boxings version of that 7th inning stretch MLB baseball song.

              Thats a better one & yea I do hear that a lot with UK shows.

              Do different promoters do this with different songs?

                Last Wilder fight it got played, chuckled to myself. Nothing whips up the crowd better than Sweet Caroline, but youve gotta follow it up with 7 Nation Army, game on after those 8 minutes, forever intertwinned
