Hearn would say that as the reason rather then "im not sure we would sell that many tickets"
Nope I agree that the atmosphere would be better and louder in the o2 than in an open stadium, imagine if its raining and shit, which happens in england a lot. And why wouldnt have Hearn sold out a football stadium if he really wanted to? Course he would have done, this fight is bigger than Calzaghe-Kessler IMO.
