And rumoured to be fighting Dave Allen on Dave. I think Price pummels Allen for 5/6 rounds, failing to get him out of there, and goes on to lose by exhaustion.
Hmm its kind of a last minute throw of dice for some of the old heavys. More than likely end in failure.
Haye seems to be building a retirement home for old boxers. Price and Chisora, huge ambition there from Haye! He's going to shock the world with those signings..... He needs to give this promotion thing up, it's going nowhere. At this point all he's doing is lightening the load for Eddie and then loaning his fighters out to him for big shows. It's just pointless and it's costing him money for no apparent reason.
I genuinely think he's just signing heavyweights for their name before immediately cashing out by putting them in a fight that sells and taking his manager fee before moving on.
Tough climate out there for British promoters. Hearn is obviously top dog and Warren worked miracles to hang in there and get a decent broadcaster in BT. After that it's very tough because everyone wants to be on sky and BT with the lure of PPV.
Odds on Price rocking a chiseled set of abs and an Arnie body for the next fight? Clear advantage to Allen fighting on his own network. I think recent viewing figures on terrestrial TV may support some lesser fighters making it their home. Maybe that's the market Hate is targeting? He's a smart guy, there will be some thinking behind it. Just as long as he doesn't start promoting in Dubai...
