David Price's promoter Frank Maloney collapses after his fighter's defeat to Tony Thompson in Liverpool

Frank Maloney, David Price's promoter, who has had heart surgery in the past collapsed in the Liverpool Echo Arena after the post-fight press conference.

Half an hour earlier Price had been stopped in the second round by American Tony Thompson suffering a perforated eardrum, his hopes of a world title shattered.

Maloney was given oxygen by the medical crews on hand for the bouts and was taken into an ambulance at the arena.
US matchmaker Don Majeski who witnessed the incident told The Telegraph: “Frank was talking to a friend outside the press conference, held his head suddenly and went down on his knees.”

“He was then put on his back and his legs were placed upwards over a chair and was attended to by three medics. He was on the floor for around five minutes.”
“The police then cleared onlookers from the area and an ambulance was called.”

Been reported on twitter that it was caused by a drop in blood pressure. Apparently hadn't eaten all day.

Terrible news, and puts the boxing into perspective.

Hope he makes a good recovery.

If Maloney is having the money difficulties that have been circulating, then last nights result won't have done his projected earnings much good.

It is being reported as not eating though.

My first thought as well. It sounds as if he's under pressure. And his big ticket took a big setback last night.

The KO must have been an awful shock for Frank.

Frank is a very emotional guy. Very close to his fighters. He had a heart attack when he heard sutherland committed suicide.

Maloney gets a lot of bad press and some of it he brings on himself but , boxing-wise at least, I've never seen too much to dislike. If the bloke is struggling business-wise (and I think we all know he is) then last night would have felt like he took the punch himself.

I've been part of a struggling business, it aint nice, it doesn't leave you alone. Whether he hadn't eaten or not last night would have hit him hard.
