$ even if you take the live gate into account, ticket sales still cant match the amount of money casinos put up for big fights.
Dawson doesn't suck. He was just hyped a bit too much. The light heavyweight divison needs some young talent. Bad Chad does not appear to be it.
Dawson should have just fought Diaconu from the start. Instead, he now has to defend against him or else he'll be stripped and he has to do so coming off the shaky performance against Johnson. No momentum whatsoever and you gotta imagine that he's gonna have a bullseye on him from now on.
I had Johnson winning that fight by 2 rounds... Not a robbery on his part cause it could of went either way but not by 4 rounds at all!
Dawson won that fight. Im not saying Johnson didn't fight his ass off but i was totally confident that Dawson won the fight by a round or two and REALLY didn't expect there to be any controversy. I think people are being too hard on Dawson and are not giving him enough credit for out-hustling the hustler and landing beautiful combinations from a variety of angles.
