    Because he makes good TV. He hasn't got a scooby doo what he's talking about 90% of the time, but most people wont care about that, he's controversial, so people will watch.

    But it was probably the reason he was brought in. I cant see anything else that he would have to offer. He hardly has great knowledge and insight, just connections.

    Sky won't let Rafael within 100miles of their studios during this build up,they won't want to muddy the waters with talk of Haye ducking or being a coward....he going to be the "Good Guy" in this promotion from their point of view.

    Thers more chance of Beeston getting on Ringside to give his views on Haye...;O)

    I've publicly offered my services to discuss Haye's heavyweight career..... I'm sat waiting for the phone to ring.

    If only Sky had my number :nut:hey

    Sometimes the truth hurts. It's a bit like when you tell a fat bird that her bum does look big in this.....

    Forgive me for being cynical, but he's not in the ring yet.

    He's signed before and run for the hills.

    When Froch says he's going to do something he does it. When Khan says he's going to do something he does it.

    When Haye says he's going to do something you spit your San Miguel on the keyboard and think to yourself ''I've heard this before......''.

    As I've said, if he gets in there..... respect to him. But he hasn't yet.

    Rafael is an idiot. Everyone knows that the fight finally got made thanks to one man and one man alone, our very own ROB PALMER.

    Real talk.

    Who is more ******ed? Adam Smith or Dan Rafael. Bit of a chicken and egg situation that one. Either way, Rafael is a class A ****. That much is certain.

    ...I would pronounce it Rafael - like the "red" turtle. On ESPN they call him Dan Ray-fee-ull.

    Please tell me I'm right.

    He has reasons before. No money from Setanta.

    Easy money, hes a boxer but hes not soft.

    If you thought you could earn 6 Mil+ for a fight that easy, what would you do?
