    If he were to get asked in a contract negotiation and the fight blows up over that there is an entirely different situation~ that is much more damaging. I don't see why B-Hop would do that if he isn't clean (unless he is scared of Dawson which I find even less likely)

    HBO doesn't give a fuck about OST
    , they want the fight if Dawson says that is what he needs to fight B-Hop, so if that is fight they want they will press. B-Hop can take it or leave it his choice but there are consequences.

    You just don't get it. If OST is not an issue, HBO would discard it. Again, you are delusional thinking Dawson has significant leverage. So Dawson says OST, then HBO would go "hey BHop" take OST. You are full of it.

    You are all over the place, I don't assume any athlete is clean maybe he doesn't ask for it because he isn't clean who knows, I already said it would be cool if B-Hop took the bull by the horns and asked for it himself then if Dawson turned the fight down he would be in the bad spot~
    I am not all over the place.

    Please answer this:
    Doesn't Dawson (or any boxer) look more guilty not asking for an OST since he has right to ask for it? ****, the guy can ask for it but didn't.
    Similarly, if a boxer being requested of a test is also guilty not taking that test? It's the same "that dude is on something" or he would have taken (requested) the test.

      Then Pascal can take on other worthy fighters IN CANADA as he seems to have fan base there which can't be said for Dawson.

        HBO wants that fight, they have no other plan that to put B-Hop in with Dawson and would be unlikely to buy most other fights thus forcing that fight to occur. They would not tell B-Hop to take the tests they just would not pay for his fight thus forcing him to agree to the demand or not fight for them and make that long HBO green~

        Yes you are all over the place~
        All athletes look guilty point blank to much to be gained from enhanced performance. If a guy doesn't bring it up it could be any number of reasons, but once a guy asks for it and the other guys pitches a bitch fit you have issues that need to be answered

          Pascal needs a big win~ beating Dawson again and proving dominance over him would be a very good way of regaining momentum~

          There are only so many options at the top of the sport

            Made the correction for you.

            Yes there are so many options but for HBO the universe for BHOP is only Dawson. LOL.

              Dawson just won a fight, Pascal on the other hand had a controversial draw then a loss, he is more in need of a win.


              Name the options? Better than Dawson and why is HBO willing to accept them over a fight that has been actually built a bit

                Yes there are many options. They would tell Dawson to STFU. I am sure HBO is not gonna pay for his fight so he will take the biz elsewhere. I am sure there are no other network. Remember, YOU are the one that says there are so many options....BUT not for BHop and HBO. LOL

                Here is one reason: "Dawson's career was temporarily derailed when he failed a post-fight drug test in 2004 for marijuana. He was suspended from fighting for 6 months. "

                  You haven't named a single option~, HBO pays by far the most money and in case you didn't notice B-Hop is not long for the sport so making as much as possible short term is very important. Plus there is the whole issue of how it would effect his legacy since it would give the whole story legs that it currently doesn't have now.

                  You are still all over that place, that is the fight HBO wants and when HBO sets it's sight it is their way or the highway, B-Hop can do whatever but he will make less and have to deal with the consequences.

                  So what if Dawson smokes trees~ that is not a PED or really effects him as a boxer in any way. Not even in that negative a way as would like say *******.

                    Pascal fought an elite fighter. Dawson look UNIMPRESSIVE in that fight.

                    Options: Go to the light HW division. There are few contenders. What makes you think HBO won't sign different fighter if this fight doesn't get made?!
