Comments Thread For: Ward-Dawson Encounter Halts Stampede For WBC Title

That situation is much different to this one.

Morales really didn't want to fight at 130 again.

Evidently, Dawson is absolutely fine with 168.

He has probably just conceded that to make the fight happen. Why can't Ward go to 175? Im sure Dawson doesn't really want to move down.

The WBC belt is a POS and so is Jose Sulaiman.

Sad because at one time the green belt meant something in boxing.

Why did he mention that he would move down to fight Ward, then?

Heh...that doesn't mean he really wants to. Money talks. You think a man Dawson's size really wants to be moving down 7lbs?

Well he should have shut his mouth then. And based on what he said, yes, he really wants to move down to fight Ward.

How is it different exactly?

You mean cos the fighters are black, right?

If you can't see the difference then I can't help you. And yes, clearly both Manny and Cotto are black.

Money talks? Tell us, Dirk...how much is Dawson getting paid to fight that moneymaker Ward? And BTW, Dawson has been talking about moving back down for three years now.

No, he really wants to fight Ward because its a money fight. And he's willing to make sacrifices to get it. If he had the choice, it'd be at 175, no doubt about it.

What kind of money is in it though? Real question.

More than he'll get paid fighting anyone at 175. Of course he was talking about it, because the only money fight at 175 was Hopkins and he was ducking him for so many years. 168 was where the money was.
