Gary Shaw: "They can order what ever they want, my contract gives me next fight."

Pascal is getting KO'd by Dawson next time. Hopkins is the much safer fight, which if he learns his lessons from yesterday's fight and can conjure up a new gameplan he can win especially if yesterday took a lot out of Hopkins, his body might not be upto to the task of repeating that performance in a quick rematch. If it does happen I hope it's in the US though.

GBP must be stupid, How would the WBC enforce a rematch when this one was a voluntary defense? Dawson has a contractual rematch... End of exactly...i mean sure, there should be a rematch, but contract trumps all. if he doesnt follow the stipulations of the contract then he owes dawson a ton of money for breach. approximately all the money he would have made in the next fight if it doesnt happen. the wbc are a buncha crooks.

From Dan Rafael "Richard says the WBC has ordered an immediate rematch. And if Pascal doesn't do it (and, say , opts to rematch with Dawson) he would be stripped." "Bat Email from Gary Shaw regarding the status of Pascal-Dawson 2 in that the WBC ordered a Pascal-Hopkins rematch: "They can order what ever they want, my contract gives me next fight. Period end of story." This should get interesting." So what happens now? Do Dawson's people demand step-aside money? Would Dawson really force a non-title rematch with Pascal, who would be stripped if he doesn't rematch Hopkins? Has the WBC even made an official announcement? Will they? I dont know why he would rather fight Dawson again. It would be an easier fight but he would have less to gain and more to lose.

I dont understand how they could strip him for not taking a rematch against a non mandatory Shaw is 100% correct
