Didn't Chad make more than that against Nard? Anyway, neither are particularly big draws...Couldn't expect to much more in this economy.
It only adds to Bad Chad's motivation. I'm telling you, he's going to shock the boxing world. It shouldn't be a shock though. He's the light heavyweight #$%^ing world champion! Chad is as good, if not better, than everyone once thought he was. Dawson SD 12
Those figures are really weak to be honest. Remember these guys are not only number 1 in their own divisions but they also have the WBC and Ring belts. It really doesn't get much bigger than this. :good
Vernon Forrest.... a great but no name fighter, got 850K to fight Shane Mosley... and that was in 2002. Dawson is getting raped.
Wow, I would have thought ward Dawson got between 1-2 mill consistently and for a super fight like this possibly around 3 mill, then you have hair cuts like broner receiving 1-2 mill for fighting coke addicts is despicable
What makes you think Broner is making millions, just yet? On his last fight(vs Escobedo), he originally was to receive $300K. Of course, he forfeited at least 60k of that. That original amount was almost surely his biggest payday, as that was the first time he headlined an HBO card.
Not many people would take the risk Dawson is with all he has to lose. He could have hung around for an easy fight like Kessler or Bute.
If I'm not mistaken he has openly talked about receiving million $ purses. Managed by Al Haymon and golden boy too.
