If Bellew beats Chilemba will Sky/Matchroom pick up Dawson v Stevenson?

    Would make sense. I guess it depends if Bellew wins.

    I think if Tony does it they could tempt Dawson over to the UK. If they can do a deal where the fight is at 2am in the Echo Arena, they get the Sky money, the HBO money and the 10,000 fans in Liverpool.

    A big kicker is that Gary Shaw has allot of fighters that could be matched with Matchroom fighters. Geale v Barker has already made, but theres financially rewarding fights for a number of Shaw fighters who could come over to the UK to fight guys like Burns, Frampton, Rose etc.

    I can't see Dawson coming over here, if he were a challenger maybe but not as a champion, Britain is hardly known for its fair judging. You would be mad coming over here.

    Another reason that I want Bellew to win. Who the **** wants to see Chilemba fight the winner of Dawson-Stevenson? Sky certainly won't and it would likely be relegated to BN because it wouldn't fill out a parish church.

    If Bellew wins then they'll likely get the champion to defend it against him over here. Even if Bellew would get destroyed, it would make for a big show.

    Yep,with you on wanting Bellew to get it this time.Watched Chilemba against the Russian on you tube and get a draw,so think he's been a bit underrated.The winner of the other 2,particularly if it was Stevenson,would be as you said,a great matchup.Dont think Bellew gets destroyed,either.Could even surprise everybody and win.

    Can stevenson come to the uk? with his past could be problematic.

    Dawson will easy travel. No one cares about him since Ward, needs to make a statement and knocking oiut Bellew in Liverpool will help

    No one cared about him before Ward! That's why he has to keep accepting the short money and appear as the b-side on all of his big fights.
