I guess the Hayemaker fighters are all on hold until they sort a new TV deal

Can't Hayemaker fighters be loaned out to other promoters whilst Hayemaker sorts out a television deal?

Yeah your right, but they wont get paid anything like whats in there Contract. I know Groves was ment to be on a Non TV show at the York Hall a couple of Months back and all they could offer him was a Ticket deal so he'd get paid.. Liberty

How long before some of the boxers with Hayemaker start looking to get out of their contracts?
Going by press reports when these guys signed with Hayemaker they got a very good deal, so will that change when a new TV deal is sorted out?
Lots of questions to be asking, not ideal for Haye to be caught in the middle when preparing for his biggest ever fight

They didn't even have Price a slot on the German bill, but he was over there, in shape, as Haye's sparring partner

Good point, the undercard wasn't exactly exciting on the recent german show, would of been good for Price to of got a taste of a big show.

Unfortunatly, there doesn't seem to be much work for boxers in general at the moment.
Fury is fortunate that his promotor has regular TV slots for him to appear on.

True, but at the moment that does explain why Fury has been getting regular work.

Dave was due to fight on a 4 July card in Liverpool but that fell out when Quigley pulle dout of the main event and no replacement was found.
Presumably a new date and venue is being looked for.

I think there's a little matter of finding a TV outlet before there can be any hope of looking for a venue / rescheduling any fights

Its a shame really cos they put on some good domestic shows, Dodson Quigley, Lindsay Appleby were good.

i think even if Haymaker goes tits up they should try there hardest to keep price on or if thy cant i think all the other promoters should try and snap him up fast, he's a massive massive prospect
he beat tyson fury easy

, KO'd the worlds best superheavy weight as an amateur in the Olympics that russian, cos he had 1 bad proformance in Beijing no 1 should really judge him on that ,
before the olympics he had a winning streak of somthing like 17 fights 16 wins and 14 ko's and all them where top international level and as you all know for a amateur that doesn't happen especially on the international scene
i remember when we used to go to tournaments around the world , all the other super heavy weights used to sh it there selfs if pricey was there,
he's the hardest hitting british boxer today , i know that for a fact.
he's a top bloke outside the ring, a family man a proper gentleman trains as hard if not harder than any 1
only problem is he's inactivity which is not he's fault,

Tony I rate David Price as well but how can u say its fact that he is the hardest punching boxer out there. I would argue I punch just as hard or even harder.

Sorry but I'd disagree. I've seen you fight and I've seen Pricey close up. Size is nothing, power is even secondary to punching correct. Technique is key when it comes to punching hard.

price is quality, plants his feet well when throwing the power shots which impressed me when he made his debut, was there when he scooled fury in the amateurs so no doubt whod win there

maybe i should not of said 'its a fact' but i believe he is , i have never seen anyone who can knock people out like iv seen him maybe its cos i seen him KO more people than iv seen anyone because ive been away with him that much,
like smigga said he's technique to get the power is second to none and that where i think he gets that power from,

He was always a grock but since going pro he looks absolutely huge. Will be seeing a few more knockouts down the line.

smigga thats fair enough but I wasnt even talking about size. And yes his technique is better than mine but I would say I punch just as hard. check out when I knocked out david ingleby. It was just as hard a punch as when david knocked him out
