David Price and his relative lack of activity

**rowlesy** · 05-31-2009 10:20 PM

Just ben looking on Boxrec to see what fights are coming up in the next month or so, and noticed that Price's next fight is first week of July! Thats just over 3 months since his debut. Am I the only one who thinks that a guy who has just turned pro should be fighting every 3 or 4 weeks rather 3 or 4 months? This is no slight on Price, I have no opinion of him as of yet, I just find it odd that it has taken so long for his 2nd fight when in the same space of time the Olympians will have fought twice and Fury will have had 3?

What are your opinions on this? Am I being a bit harsh in my judgement he has been slightly lazy since turning pro and should have had at least one more fight by now?

The same goes for Degale, Saunders, Gavin & Jeffries. They're all being moved too slow.

Probably because he's with Hayemaker - they have hardly any shows.

Compare them with Mick Hennessy and his 26 fight deal with ITV... So Tyson Fury is out every few weeks.

exactly there in itself is the complete problem.

While price is out in cyprus training endlessly to fight absoloute no hopers he`d be able to knock out in his sleep fury gets plenty of tv time and a good chunky record that`ll see him fighting for british titles within the year while price is still having to make do with guys from uzbekistan with records of 21-17
