    Drop the 16 bout cards...can see why he does it as he wants everyone to get paid which is fair enough. However no wants 16 bouts of below average boxing.

    Get the middleweights fighting. And get the lightweights fighting.

    Get brook in a big fight over here.

    Sign groves and take him to a world title

    Keep bringing along the young talent

    Drop the half empty silent london shows unless it is a big big title fight.

    If Hearn would learn what a "stacked card" actually is that would be ok with me but not holding my breath.

    Hearn is loving putting Sky's money in his Lucy Lockett.

    He needs to use some of the finances given to him to bring good quality fighters to Britain and set up decent match-ups.

    More competitive fights needed.

    Brook seriously needs to be brought along now.

    Sign Murray replacement for Barker

    Big fights for Burns if he gets past Crawford and Brook. Froch vs Groves 2

    Quigg vs Frampton.

    If that happens I'll be happy

    Oh and ditch prizefighter and make tournaments. U could easily do a lightweight middleweight 1

    He was forced into Crawford, Crawford is his mando he get's no credit for that. Bute fair enough that was good but outside of Bute no he hasn't brought over anyone of real quality. FW has brought over Tszyu, Kovalev, prime Kessler ect Eddie keeps giving Brook easy fights, gave Quigg a shocking defense, rest assure he will put Rose in with the weakest possible champion as well. Eddie gives his guys easy fights simple as that.

    Im sorry but he should get loads of credit bringing Crawford here, otherwise we would have had to go over to the states im a great beleiver in a champ should fight at home and the promoter has backed Ricky 100% by acheiving this

    Exactly what he's been doing minus the Prize Fighters.

    As a boxing fan that likes watching boxing, I'm grateful that I don't have to wait 8 months per show. And I'm also grateful for the fighters that were on the couch pondering retirement with no money to feed their Families.

    In summary, more world title fights, less Prize Fighters

    He should get Gavin a crack at Bundus European title in either Birmingham or Manchester.For Gavins first fight of 2014,around March hopefully.This shouldn't really be too hard to do,as Frank will be mandatory for it,I would have thought.How he handles the Brook situation may be a bit more difficult.Dominic Ingle says he wants the Porter fight in GB,but chances are Porter and his team don't,and they've got the title.

    He has backed Burns in getting Crawford here agree a champion should always try to keep home advantage unless the offer is that good you can't turn it down other than purse bids.

    Top Rank won't lose any sleep their fighter they will find more about away from home in a hostile atmosphere.

    The man being tested more on the night is Crawford he is the one stepping up & if he is good enough we will see but fighting your fight at your pace in friendly surroundings is one thing.When put under pressure away from home seen many,many fighters find it a whole different game.

    :deal

    Hearn also got Kessler over and Frank has been a promoter for a lot longer than Eddie.

    My point Billy though was that he didn't give Ricky a tough fight on purpose, Ricky had to fight Crawford its good that it's in the UK but my point was he didn't bring over the tough fight for Ricky by choice he had to bring Crawford over.
