    Gary Shaw's purse bid of $1,301,000 was beaten out by Gankor Promotions' bid of $1,813,000.

    The split is 60/40, with $1,087,800 for Dawson and $725,200 for Diaconu.

    The fight is should to be held in the next 90 days.

    I can't believe Dawson would go to Romania since Roy Jones got screwed in Korea.

    Why does Dawson get the 60?

    Considering I thought Henry beat Diaconu in his last fight, I'd be more than a little worried if I was Dawson and couldn't knock him out.

    Dawson doesn't have the greatest chin, It wouldn't surprise me if Diaconu khtfo

    That being said I saw Diaconu-Henry on youtube and thought they both gassed late and both looked awful.

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    Dawson's gunna smash that terribley overrated arse,.. that screaming from the ESPN crew made me fucking hurl my ovaries out like yo-yo's when Diaconu,.. LOOKED LIKE A PRIME MIKE TYSON,.. against a bum aswell, just like a prime Mike Tyson. Diaconu is a protected chump, a woefully staminaless spurt fighter, who's punches are decieving in power all because they're short and compact, against Chad they'll get even shorter, like a snake, and just like a snake, he'll have to resort to Hopkins tactics with his head. Dawson should 'suffercate the pillock', or shark or whatever the fuck he's meant to be, but both nicknames suit Diaconu's stamina levels on dry land,..then with those bones in the cat's mouth, Sir Chad should rematch Glencoffe, and fight with the full force that I believe he's capable of.

    I'm sure Tarver priced himself out.
