    There's the fact that the money is at 168 and not at 175. There's that fact.

      Again. Please qualify this statement with facts.

      Note: As it relates to Chad Dawson because obviously you weren't bright enough to realize that before.

        It's going to be at 168, not a catchweight.

          That is a fact, if you chose to deny it, then I can't really do anything about it.

            **Looks for facts**

            Guess there won't be any forthcoming. Just more opinion.

              You think the fights at 175 are as big as at 168? The money is at 168. Why cant you understand this?

                Is 175 a fighter? Is he facing a guy called 168? No. We're discussing Chad Dawson here. If you can prove that Dawson is moving down to 168 because his HBO contract is paying him more to do so, then fine.

                  How can anyone prove that? You just use common sense to deduce that fighting Ward pays more than fighting an unknown guy like Cloud or Cleverley or whoever is at 175.

                  LOL@ actually thinking Dawson wants to move to 168. I seem to remember him refusing to come down to fight Kessler. Then after he'd beaten Tarver and realised Hopkins was going to keep ducking him, he started talking about 168 again because THATS WHERE THE MONEY WAS.

                  He's going where the money is. Its COMMON SENSE. Why would he not just tell Ward to come to 175 if he wasn't getting paid any more or less? How ****** do you think he is?

                    Chad Dawson has a contract with HBO that guarantees him a certain amount regardless of who he fights. There may be an increase based on revenue but, for the most part, these changes are negligible. I don't know what his bump is for a Ward fight. I'm pretty sure any excess cash would go to Ward. It would be "common sense" if Ward actually brought in extra money. He doesn't. And I'm pretty sure that excess cash won't come from...ticket sales. Just like I'm also pretty sure that this fact you're trying to pass off is opinion. And I don't agree. I'll leave it at that.
