Chad Dawson sent out a release urging those in boxing to give to the cause in Haiti:

Hello Boxing World! We are witnessing a horrible tragedy for the people and country of Haiti. We’ve seen the American Public and the International Community respond to the cry and applaud those efforts. However, much more is needed for aid and support.

For the first time, I’m calling on all boxing networks, every champion of all weight classes, contenders, and managers who make over six figures to match my $5,000 contribution for the families and victims of Haiti. Many of us in the boxing world have the luxury of buying sparkling jewelry, big homes, and fancy cars. I’m challenging all to join me who have a big heart to help with the relief efforts of the Haitian people. This is my way to appreciate what boxing has done for me and my family.

Please visit my website www.badchaddawson.com or make your donations/contributions to the emergency relief efforts to those recommended reputable organizations that is currently established in the country.

Good for Chad. We all need to do what we can, and I hope this serves as a kick in the pants to those with the means to do the most.

The man is all class…

"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."

Bad Chad

Continually proving why you are one of my favorite fighters. It’s a shame that the MSM covers the antics of FMJ but misses the good work done by people like Chad. Props Chad, massive props.
