Ward-Dawson purses announced

you place it on Chad Dawson to win by ko and you collect your earnings tomorow

 

I guess, if he actually said that, the mistake is you believing it. :yep

 

Both titles are on the line. This fight is below the 175 LHW limit so Ward and Dawson should both be able to become undisputed champs of two divisions tonight.

 

Unless you can find printed media which states other wise I have no reason but to believe it.

 

You can look at it that way, but Chad's LHW belt is not on the line for this fight. Ward will definitely not get Chad's belt, even if he beats Chad.

 

Ward should be making 1.8-2 million and Dawson at 1.3-1.5 million. I think its a combination of the promoters they have to go along with neither of them being draws. Had this been Top Rank and Golden Boy promoting them they probably make much more.

 

Hell, Bradley made 1.025 mill fighting Casamayor, and Chad makes 600k wow

 

Head over to vBookie and go to home. Then, enter a thread and place your bet.

 

I hope Dawson ****ing wrecks Ward.

 

Mother****ers always in someone's pockets around here.

 

Pretty good purse actually

 

I think with that fight they were counting on the ppv to recoup the purses, and it did such miserable business (75000 is the figure I've seen, which probably didn't cover the cost of promoting the fight) they won't put him on ppv again. This fight is regular HBO, and a year or so back HBO realised they're the only game in town for big purses, they don't need to be bidding against themselves and offering huge cash for every fight like they used too, Showtime can't come close to matching them and there is no other big chanel, so they started offering more modest sums to promoters for fights, and they can take it or leave it. The days of Roy Jones getting 5 million dollars to fight a garbage man are over. Chad Dawsons had some other big fights and bored everyone stiff in them so he isn't in the position to demand top dollar.

 

so strange dawson fights exciting and much more fan friendly than mr. hold crab jab, yet the purses would say the opposite :huh
