    ...I mean, why would anyone want to associate themselves with that guy? I just don't get it!:patsch

    Apparently, DM is going to fight on Haye's undercards.

    I think Haye would have been much better off signing Choi "Flash" Tsevenpureev - now there's a really exciting, committed, fair fighter and a really decent person too! :good

    Welcome back Dece!!!

    Derrys got a decent fan base and I suppose business is business, esp for a new promoter just starting out?

    Hey, mate!:D

    I agree it might put some more bums on seat, with the emphasis firmly on "bums", but with so many exciting, young English/ English based young fighters out there, you'd reckon Haye would want to go his own way and promote deserving, fresh fighters, not the likes of Derry! I mean, Haye was going to be all about fairness, goodness, sunlight and sweetness, right? And he goes off and signs Derry!:roll:

    :huh

    I mean...even Ruiz has some fans! Why not sign him too?

    i don't like derry but he's a decent top level domestic fighter, and signing him has led directly to a derry- lindsay matchup which isn't bad.

    its not like he's signed him and is throwing him in with journeymen.

    He is a decent top level domestic, true, but there are quite a few others as good or slightly better around, right? They, however, will give the fans their money's worth. Derry has been given a lot of help by the judges during his career and will likely not give it his all in future either; can you teach an old dog new tricks? Why try anyway, when you can pick a dog that needn't be changed in the first place? :think

    You;ve obviously only seen the Simpson fight and It was no robbery, the scorecards were too wide but he still won by a point since he wasn't Dq'ed. He should of been Dq'ed though.

    If you want to moan about dirty fighting watch Skelton Vs Williams 1 or Hopkins Vs Calzaghe. Skelton and Hopkins get away with fouling.

    What about Sam Peter and his super rabbit punches?

    Haye likes to be independent of Warren

    Good for him

    He worked with various different guys throughout his career

    However it must be said - his biggest payday and biggest show he ever headlined was a Sports Network Fight

    Probably because Frank thought he was struggling on the scales and felt his man would be in with a chance

    Haye also signed top prospect lindsey, i think lindsey will win 7-8 round's against matthew's.

    I agree about Choi Tsevenpureev. The guy is 200% more exciting than arsehole Derry.

    When card are being paid for with TV money then a few seats on bums that derry will bring hardly matter. It is more exciting watching a Derry fighting with your tv turned off and sitting on a cactus.

    Choi on the other hand is a different kettle of fish and would **** Derry up the ass day and night as Derry is just a regional level fighter.
