Why wont Dawson embrace the idea of fighting Pascal?

[Shattered Jaw]

I've just realised. The question should be the other way round:

Why would Pascal fight Dawson?

Pascal is the bigger name. Noone knows who Dawson is. Pascal gets 20,000 people turning up to his fights. Dawson can't get 1,000 to his. People know who he is in Europe as well because of his excellent war with Froch and the fact he is French speaking. Pascal has a title and is an exciting fight. Dawson is a boring hypejob with no title.

Seems illogical for Pascal to take the fight, Dawson needs to build himself up some more.

Although I don't agree, I thought that was pretty funny.

It wasn't meant as a comic line haha.

whoever thinks Pascal draws in Montreal is mistaken. People here hate Pascal. There were 10,000 people for Pascal-Diaconu I and a good 75% were there for Diaconu.

His mandatory vs Branco sold only 4000 tickets. I know that is a lot for US televised events, but in Montreal that number is just awful.

I spoke to Dave Spencer from ********* yesterday at the weigh-in and according to him the promoters are giving away tickets to this rematch fight.

The only solid draw in Montreal or Quebec City for that matter is Lucian Bute.

A victorious Dawson said last night he'd like next to fight the legendary Bernard Hopkins, but that if he can't get "The Executioner" he'd like to face the Jean Pascal-Adrian Diaconu II winner. With B-Hop busy already - first against Enrique Ornelas in December, and then, if victorious, against fellow legend Roy Jones Junior in a rematch next year - it seems Dawson's chances of landing that fight are slim.

If you saw Johnson/Dawson II, you'd know he said this post interview.

please man let me tell you something....dawson ducking anybody ain't even a question man....he's already proven that he'll fight the best in his division...hopkins on the other hand is a fraud...

Dawson prefers to fight 40 year olds.

He'll never fight Pascal or Tavoris Cloud.

Quiet, Calzaghe fan.

Let me post this again for those in the thread. Please show me where he said he's NOT gonna fight the winner of Pascal/Diaconu
