Chad Dawson Nominated As A Paper Champion

Greenwich, Connecticut - Boxing fan organization the Paper Champions Society has nominated IBO light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson as a paper champion. The chairman of the board for the Paper Champions Society, John Wexler, announced by a unanimous vote that Chad Dawson effectively displays the characteristics associated with being a paper champion.

"Chad Dawson doesn't deserve the prestige of being called a champion, Chad Dawson is a whining baby who is being coddled by his promoter Gary Shaw. Chad Dawson has been praised by many in the boxing industry as being a great champion. I don't understand the praise since Chad Dawson looked rather unimpressive in his last two ring performances against Antonio Tarver. " John Wexler explained.



"After beating Tarver, Chad Dawson was asked about fighting Glen Johnson in a rematch, Chad Dawson said he didn't want to fight Johnson instead he wanted to move down to 168lbs. Chad Dawson reminds me of the "Tin Man" he has no heart. Chad Dawson and Gary Shaw are scared to death of a rematch with Glen Johnson. The only reason this fight was made was due to the pressure put on by HBO." John Wexler explained.


"The judging in the first meeting between Dawson and Johnson was very controversial. Gary Shaw and Chad Dawson are desperate men who want to win this rematch by hook or crook. Gary Shaw & Chad Dawson are so desperate they traveled down to Mexico and begged the WBC to sanction this rematch for the WBC interim light heavyweight championship. Now that the WBC has sanctioned this fight they have influence on the selection of the judges for this fight." John Wexler explained.

The Paper Champions Society would like to thank the boxing fans worldwide and its members who have voiced their opinions concerning the unnecessary politics involved in the sport of boxing. We are all tired of the controversial situations that have plagued boxing in recent years. The Paper Champions Society is dedicated towards making a difference and improving the playing field in the sport of boxing.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Chad Dawson Is A Box Office Bust

Greenwich, Connecticut - The Paper Champions Society reports that reliable sources within Ticketmaster and the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut have stated that tickets sales for the rematch between Chad Dawson and Glen Johnson have been moving very slow. Sources have told us that there are still plenty of tickets available at the 16,000 seat XL Center in Hartford.

"Chad Dawson thinks he is a great champion but in reality he is a paper champion who can't even sell tickets in his own home town. The boxing fans are tired of this fake Chad Dawson hype machine. Chad Dawson in his last couple of fights has looked very boring in the ring and he needs to step up and give the fans their monies worth when he fights in November. I want Chad Dawson to realize in order to be a great fighter you have to fight great in the ring and so far you have not done that." John Wexler explained.

"It's a shame that Gary Shaw & HBO have hyped up Chad Dawson and made him believe that he is one of the next great champions in boxing. Everyone witnessed what happened when Victor Ortiz was hyped up by Golden Boy Promotions & HBO as the next big thing in boxing. Ortiz got into a tough fight with a real fighter like Marcos Maidana who refused to lose and Ortiz got his ass handed to him." John Wexler explained.

"Gary Shaw & HBO has forced Chad Dawson to jump off a tall skyscraper without a parachute and believe me it won't be a soft landing for Chad Dawson. The real truth is everyone in the boxing business knows that no matter what Chad Dawson and his team will tell you, Chad Dawson was not in favor of fighting a tough rematch with Glen Johnson. HBO has forced Chad Dawson another undeserving fighter like Victor Ortiz into a situation he is not ready for." John Wexler explained.

What I find very strange is that Gary Shaw Productions received higher priced offers from venues in Nevada & California to host this highly anticipated rematch but instead chose to accept a lower priced offer in Hartford? The live gate for the last two Chad Dawson fights in Las Vegas have not done well. All of the great fighters of this era can sell tickets anywhere especially in Las Vegas. I thought that boxing promoters wanted to make money but in the case of Gary Shaw for some strange reason he wants to lose money. Gary Shaw needs to be honest with himself and realize that by promoting Chad Dawson he is losing money, Chad Dawson can't sell tickets in Las Vegas and he can't even sell tickets in his own home town. Chad Dawson can't sell tickets anywhere because he is a paper champion who makes boring television fights that force boxing fans to turn the channel and watch UFC.
