Eddie Hearn on 'legacy' plan to stage boxing in his office garden
"This will go down in history. The most iconic venue in the world is Madison Square Garden, we will be the new garden."
"I want to be the first but I want to get it right," Hearn, 40, told BBC Sport. "I don't want to be the first with a bad product."Designs for the potential venue show where fighter changing rooms will be, as well as broadcast points "We will be testing up to 100 people for the week, that's a cost of £25-30,000," added Hearn, who promotes unified heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua.
"It's about the safety of the fighters, making sure the officials and broadcast teams are protected. We will be learning on the job but we cannot afford to make mistakes."Hearn expects to run a succession of shows from the garden venue A potential obstacle to the move is any tightening of the government guidance on dealing with the spread of coronavirus. However, Hearn is hopeful boxers will be able to spar in the coming weeks, allowing them to be ready for his garden shows.
