If you read the article I posted, it notes that Cloud was offered a televised fight on HBO on the undercard of Dawson vs Johnson II, with a guarantee that the winners of the two fights would fight each other on a later HBO broadcast. Cloud however turned this deal down, and instead of the exposure of fighting on HBO he will fight some tomato can selected by the IBF for the now vacant IBF title.

Who ever made that decision for Cloud has horribly mismanaged his career.
