Purses for Ward vs. Dawson card, I thought Dawson would get more

I wouldn't pay ward more than $ 50k with his ugly ass style and no fanbase

Just a theory here but perhaps Dawson took less to ensure that HBO would produce a "Road to.." show thinking it would give him and the fight more exposure and possibly set him up for bigger pay days down the road if he beats Ward.
