The Reason Dawson vs Tarver Didn't Sell Out IMO!

[Pretty Boy1]

I've heard all sort of stuff on here about how Dawson is a joke because he can't sell out a 2000 seat arena. The reason the fight didn't sell out IMO is because no one wants to see this fight! Last time round you'd be lucky if you could give Tarver 2 rounds. Dawson completely outclassed and out boxed Tarver! There's no reason for the rematch other than the fact that it was in the contract! It's going to be more of the same this time round and everybody except Tarver knows it and that's why there is a lack of interest in the fight. I just hope Dawson finishes the job this time and KO's Tarver! Just had to get that off my chest.

pretty much.everyone who'd want to see this fight saw the first.it wasn't close.

[MANGLER]

Nobody gives a **** about the fight, that's why.

And to justify this fights success as a reason to why Calzaghe won't fight Dawson is foolish. I am not saying he should

Only reason this fight hasn't sold out is because no one wants to see it.

The first fight was a clear decision for Dawson, everyone knows it will end pretty much the same.

If Calzaghe was fighting Tarver in Wales, how many tickets would be sold?

Probably at least 25,000, just because of Joe's popularity.

The fact that you compared an up and coming fighter like Dawson to an establish champion proves how biased you are. Joe has been champion for over 11 years FFS.

Fans know this fight is bs its garbage the first fight was not close.

They picked the wrong venue. They should have done it in Connecticut where Dawson has more fans. Those two casinos are good venues and would've filled up for sure.

[Kobe Bryant]

Yeah I'm not sure why a rematch was given. This fight is a waste of Dawson's time.

Tarver may end up like Hatton.
