Dawson has 33 fights, he's making more money at this point in his career than Hopkins was at 33 fights. He also has a more impressive resume. It's all relative, brah.
Everyone now recognizes he's not a draw though and that his style makes it highly unlikely he'll ever become one. Unless Hershman gives Haymon his balls the same way Greenburg did, I doubt Dawson ever sees another payday anywhere near the Tarver rematch.
and rolling around on the ground because the ref doesnt think you are hurt shouldnt allow you to ***** out. just because he was fouled doesnt give him a pass to get out of earning the millions he was going to get. he gets paid whether its a NC or 12 round war...hes smart enough to know that he can get a free pay day if he acts like he fell from a 4th floor window on cement rather than the soft fall down that actually happened
