Who else suspects that Chad Dawson lost on purpose?

[510hustler]

Immediately after his loss last Saturday, all these articles emerged talking about his financial troubles, problems with his manager the pawn shop owner, James Prince, etc. It's certainly a sacrifice to tarnish his 29-0 record. But think about it. His loss has actually kept his name in headlines and he probably figured it will help him become a bigger star.

If he won, it would just be like all his previous fights, and be swept under the rug a day or two later being the boring guy that he is. We all know he had a million ways to beat Pascal, he simply didn't try hard enough. He probably got serious in the11th round to gauge how he would do if he was really serious. But now he has to avenge his loss, which creates an intriguing storyline.

So in other words, this loss creates more $$ and drastically more buzz for him in the long run.

Win or lose he has to pay the "James prince" guy, so no he didnt lose on purpose he just fought a fighter who wanted it more than him.

that all sounds a bit ridiculous.

Chad lost fair and square. He'll be back, he's an elite boxer who needs to go away and analyse what went wrong. He'll probably be better for this.

Boxer's lose, it's what happens.

if he has financial troubles he should fight more often than once a year.

Are your other 5 posts as ridiculous as this one?

winning would have made him more marketable than losing. specially that he was undefeated. how much money could he possibly make fighting pascal? not enough to settle everything though.

Umm no...He had nothing to gain by taking a dive. The undefeated record is more valuable & marketable in this day and age, he had a bad night and simply lost to a better man, it happens.

Hatton did the same with Pacquaio for a comeback to make lots of money.
