Q&A with David Coldwell

David Coldwell has kindly agreed to do a Q&A with us. Please leave any questions below and when Fists returns from his holidays he will e-mail them to him.

How hard as a promoter is it to make a living without a TV deal?

Do you think Haye will postpone his retirement plan and continue to fight?

What is your take on Sky's dominance on the sport over here and would you ever work with a terrestrial TV channel?

How did you get into training?

What were the most important things you learnt from Ingle?

What makes you more nervous; the build up to your fight or one of your boxers?

When you bid for the Groves-DeGale fight, did you ever intend to put on the show?

What was your most satisfying win as a trainer?

Where do you see yourself in 5/10 years time?

This isn't going down well.

Could Nas have achieved more and if so where did he go wrong?

Do you ever think about growing your hair?

Towzer this guy has worked as a promoter, manager, trainer and been a fighter. He's shared a gym with World champions like Nas, Witter and Nelson and been in the corner for the biggest Heavyweight fight in over a decade and the best you can come up with is this?

Why am I not surprised?

Don't like the guy kev, i think he's a tag along and talks too much, he wound me up tbh with his rants on facebook, etc saying Alvarez was having his first 'fight' before Rhodes, disrespected Wlad, i don't like him, sorry.

He doesn't come across well with the Wlad comments but he had a point about the Rhodes one it was poor that Matthew got the shot before Ryan pointless as it all turned out to be.

He's been around the game for a long time and in different roles. Not sure their is any point in doing this one though because no one is interested.

How should boxing go about getting back on terrestrial TV? Does it need a personality or have the agendas of the TV channels moved on from the sport of boxing irreversibly.
