To be fair...in regards to the HBO telecast...

could have been what chad told steward to make him feel like he wasnt being ditched or whatev

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

nah, he was asked to come to camp as the assistant to me...I actually told them that if Manny has a real problem with it then I will step aside and be the assistant as long as I have input and am the one to do pads with him in the gym...

[TheMelvern]

when he said that he dont want to train dawson where dawson lives is funny. then why does he go all the way across the world to the klits to train them in their country then?

The Klits make mega bucks in Germany. They are bigger over there than Mayweather/Pacquiao are in the U.S. Then compare the euro to dollar, you better believe Emanuel will fly over there in a heartbeat.

I'm curious, how much % from a fighters purse does an assistant trainer get ?

ahhhh see the way it was portrayed made it seem like Chad couldn't keep a trainer and kept switching back and forth. This makes me see it in a new light.

No Shawn, they trained in Europe...one of the recent fights they trained near Switzerland...I know guys who go spar with them...one of the guys in my gym actually sparred with him two fights ago and went over there, I forget the name of the country but it definitely wasnt Detroit...

They train in Austria.

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Exactly...thats the place I was thinking of, thanks. AUSTRIA...

[AllEyesOpen]

he made it seem as though I only trained Chad because he couldnt...and, BELIEVE ME, that is not accurate...I was moved into the head trainer position and geography had nothing to do with it...camp was set up in Pa. so a trainer could have been flown in from anywhere in the world...I dont want to hurt anyone or embarrass anyone but I also cant just stand by and let it be painted like I got in by some kind of default...Emmanuel painted a VERY innaccurate picture. believe that...

Good to know, didn't think it was as simple or one-sided as he made it seem, it was nothing short of impying he had no choice but to work with you. Dawson looked like he was more then ready for B-Hop, & I honestly thought he was going to take it had the fight continued.

Sadly for me that fight ulitimately seems like such a waste of time; As far as i can tell Dawson has a KO win over Hopkins but no belt to show for it & B-Hop has a KO loss to Dawson yet still is the champ. Hope the rematch gets made.

Wlad's camp is in Austria

Emanuel "that's how I expected it to go" Steward. I can't really comment on what he said because I attended the fight, but missed the replay lastnight..but

Let's face it, Chad probably did need to change trainers or have a new voice around at the very least.

Despite how the fight turned out, I haven't seen Dawson that fired up in YEARS, maybe ever. lol.
