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.

Which is what I want to know.

You must be able to see that Ward is a much bigger name than anyone at 175? He also sells tickets in Oakland. You actually think Dawson is moving to 168 just outta the goodness of his heart? Lol....

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.

How much is he getting paid to fight Ward? Or does his HBO contract stipulate his guarantee already (ahem)?

Ward selling tickets in Oakland doesn't equate to squat in terms of guarantee. Do you know or not. Because you sound ****** using ticket selling in Oakland as a means of measuring purses. I bet that Corey Spinks was Showtime's biggest moneymaker the way he sold out St. Louis.

How the *** would I know? Its just common sense he'll be getting more against Ward than anyone in his own weight class. Unless you believe Tavaris Cloud or someone else is a bigger payday...lol.

Yea, he does sell tickets in Oakland, but is Ward really a "money" fight? I'm not too savvy on the business side of the sport, but I don't think that Ward is.

Exactly. You don't. For all you know, Dawson's contract with HBO has a set guarantee regardless of who he fights. SMH @ your dumbass thinking the extra $15k from Oakland tickets is going to make a world of difference. You're right. You don't know. What else is new.

He's not a money fight in the same sense as Mayweather or Pacquaio. But compared to what's on offer at 175, you bet your ass he's a money fight. The only one who'd be able to match him might be Bute in and around those weight classes.

I dont know exactly what he's getting paid and neither do you you ****flaps. Stop trying to act like you're some kind of "insider"....lol. No one buys it.

Ward is a bigger money fight than anyone in Dawson's weight class. Its common sense. Stop trying to defend your pro-black double standards
