Think Hearn got shot because he doesnt believe in himself, he'll always sell out Leeds but thats his limit, tried to build the title fight and he didnt want it.Originally posted by deathofaclown View PostThe Leeds crowd go absolutely crazy during a Warrington 12 round borefest. Baffling indeed.

I was under the assumption that big name fighters sold seats for extra cash all the way to the top of the sport.
It also assures that they have a loud contingent of home fans supporting them

I've never heard of that happening around here.
Except for maybe for youth boxing matches but that's just to help the kids cover the costs of equipment and travel.

"I've never heard of that happening around here"....
My best guess is that your "PHD in the sweet science" is just a note from the second grade teacher.
When a fighter has a "home turf" building he promotes every other month as most do during their first 25 bouts they can earn double and triple the normal pay per rounds by moving 300 to 500 ringside seats.
Now you've learned something on the forum about boxing thats been going on for a 100 years!
You see "you can learn" despite what others have said!

But consider that things on the East Coast might be different than they are out here in the West. And in my defense I have never heard Bob Arum congratulate one of his fighters on how many tickets he was able to go sell himself!
