Universum outbids Shaw!
The WBC has conducted a purse offer for the final elimination bout in the light heavyweight division between Stipe Drews (Croatia) and Chad Dawson (USA). The winning bid was from Universum Box-Promotion with an offer of $428,504 over Gary Shaw Productions, which bid $425,000. The scant $3,504 difference made this one of the closest purse offers in WBC history.


Shaw really did not come through for his fighter here, $4,000 more and his fighter is staying home as opposed to going to Germany. Never seen Stipe Drews though, so no idea how this one turns out. I do beleive Dawson is the real deal though and I do beleive he'll come out of this mess that Hopkins made by beating Tarver as the real LHW champ. But 6'5, seems like a rather daunting task.
