    Openly admitting he's not fit enough to fight a 10 round fight and he's there for the payday - very sad. Shouldn't let him in ring.

    I'm not sure about fortunes He said it will be more than his three purses v Ortiz Whyte and Thomas . I recall his purses v Ortiz and Whyte were well short of 20k.

    He won't win though. Eddie using and abusing him here imo. The guy has agreed to come in at the last hour he shouldn't really be fighting with all the stuff he has been coming out with recently but now he is and helping Hearn out big-time should be getting 40k plus regardless of the result!

    Is this guy the luckiest bloke in boxing or what? Keeps getting to fight on PPV undercards in big arenas whilst not even bothering to train properly. Every chance seems to be his last chance. Honestly some of the fighters who would kill for the chances this guy has had. I know he’s a nice bloke and everything but come on.

    Dave is just too brave for his own good. He took a hard beating against Yoka, which was barely a month ago and now he is facing another hard hitter in Nick Webb. This just show crooked these promoters are and how they will do anything to get a buck from you.

    To be fair he was meant to be fighting on a Sunderland show weren’t he? So if he’s not in shape he’s only got himself to blame. Eddie has probably put the win clause in to motivate him but his hearts just gone.

    Said in the other thread he appears to have special needs and Eddie has took advantage of him at times.

    He was same night, but I think that he clearly wasn't taking training for that seriously and it was going to be an exhibition type fight for him to get a Win on his record and then semi-retire'.

    I personally love watching the Heavys, butm For these PPV undercards, I'd much rather see two up and coming matched fighters going at it or a Price for entertainment. Bakole would be good to see!

    He's not being treated badly at all, I like Dave and hope he does well. But most fighters of his ability would kill to have some of the purses and opportunities he has had.
