    Empty arenas so far for DAZN. Where's the "Sweet Caroline" atmosphere?

    One thing I had hoped is that Eddie Hearn would be able to bring something fresh and fun to re-energize American boxing crowds.

    It's still early but I don't see anything like that yet.

    Empty "arenas"? What's your sample size? Two fights and one sold around 80-90k seats?

      I'm talking in the U.S. obviously.

          Every Matchroom USA event so far has been a disaster at the box office.

            I'm pretty sure they played that song at one point on Saturday. Or they were playing something that they usually play in the UK.

            And this was his first US show, so what do you mean about empty "arenas"? We shall see what happens on the 20th. But the Chicago show was never going to sell a lot of tickets, only thing that saved it was putting Adamek on the card. I know he has a Irish fighter on the UC of the Boston card so that should help a bit, but I remember even Ricky Hatton not being able to do much against Collazo in Boston. We saw his backing when he came to Vegas, but that wasn't the case in Boston. If Hearn can sell that place out or bring out a good card, then that would be awesome.

              Ok, so your sample size is one when you said "arenas".

                Mathroom USA has held other events. Albeit not on DAZN.

                  Now, if he included the HBO Matchroom cards for Danny Jacobs that would make sense, but he said empty arenas for DAZN. In that case, shouldn't be using arenas in the plural sense.
