    The bill toppers are:

    Froch x 2 fights per year
    Frampton x 3 fights per year
    Brook x 3 fights per year
    Bellew x 3 fights per year
    Barker x 2 fights per year (too many injuries for 3 fights per year)
    Rees x 3 fights per year
    Rose x 3 fights per year

    Rees & Rose probably couldn't headline a bill on their own and fill a decent size arena but could headline it together.

    You then have the likes of Purdy, Mcloskey, Ryder, Ochieng, Proska, Ashton, Cardle, Yafai, Stalker etc to provide decent undercard fighters for now.

    Thats 16 shows a year if you count Rees and Rose as fighting on the same bill. They obviously need to grow their stable but apart from Burns, Groves and Cleverley who are with ****** and Fury and Price who are with their respective promoters who else is there in the UK who could top a bill in a big arena? Khan is with goldenboy and Haye is about retired now.

    Sorry if I've missed anyone.

    I think he's allowed 6 prizefighters so 16 shows would see him through.

    I'd like to see Kevin Mitchell join his stable, they'd be a good fit, Hearn likes ticket sellers and Mitchell likes being paid.

    Hearn is fortunate to have some solid fighters coming through, the hardcore fans would love a card featuring Ryder, Ochieng, Yafai and Purdy in 50-50 fights.

    Rocky Fielding could headline a British title fight in Liverpool, would probably have to be at the Olympia though.

    So far this year they have put on 9 UK shows and have another 5 scheduled, so they have 6 shows left. 2 in April, 2 in June, 2 in July.

    I'm aware of that but if you'd read the opening post you'd see he mentions 16 possible headliners or headlining combinations, they "would see him through" :good

    That looks about right to me,am i right in think that 2 of those dates will be prizefighters?.There will be the Frampton fight in May and i wouldn`t be suprised if they had only one show in July
