    Sweet Caroline doesn't work here.
    You need name fighters to sell pretty much anywhere. That's not something new. He just doesn't have the horses to put on top level cards at the current moment. Getting Joe Smith and Seanie on his shows is very smart though. Both are solid ticket sellers and will help move the tickets for his cards. As for Farmer and Andrade? They have no fan base so that's going to be tough.

      Hearn was supposed to bring a party atmosphere to these cards and make them feel like big time, must-attend events.

      So far I don't see it. Oscar had to show him how it's done with the Canelo fight at MSG.

        Sure, and you're right he was talking a big game, but just saying he's pretty much going into a gun fight with a butter knife. He's not going to have good cards or good attended cards with the fighters he has signed. That's why he put Adamek in his Chicago card to get beat up by Big Baby Miller but to assure getting a strong Polish crowd. So he is at least shrewd on things like that. Same with getting Nico Hernandez on his Kansas card....though not shrewd on not making that the main event or at least the co-main.

            Better follow the tried and true model of stacking the undercard with NY fighters.

                  Horrible card. Think I saw on Twitter someone saying the most competitive main fight was 17 to 1 odds.

                  This is a whole bs ass card of just staying active. I mean fair play to have some stay active fights on a show, but its kinda bs to have a show where all the fights are mismatches. Hearn is better than this bs. Don't know wtf he's thinking here at all.

                    Yeah, Hearn's model of selling garbage to drunken Brits won't work here.

                      Just looked at that full card & probably the only semi interesting fight on that card is Algeri vs a manufactured 17-1-1 record guy (6-1 vs guys with a winning record).
