"Not only is Pascal guaranteed $1,050,000 to defend his title against American Chad Dawson, a win in that fight would also guarantee him a $1.5 million payday in his next bout."

note to Chad Dawson: this is how you become a star, build a home fan base. Dawson would do well by trying to establish himself as a Montreal fighter.

Dawson isn't going anywhere.

HBO has overpaid for his fights for years. They will continue to do so for the immediate future.

Dawson and Berto. Neither can draw a decent crowd anywhere, but HBO will pay them top dollar to show them.

dawson fought in nearby hartford (he's from connetticut) not that long ago and it was a boring fight and his own people were booing him. i'm glad i didn't go and that way he'll never build a homefan base.

Win or lose against Dawson I want to see Pascal face Bute next.

I think we will se Pascal vs Bute, win or lose.

Dawson vs Bute for the LHW Crown after next Saturday fellas!
