    Bute's lowballing opposition because he's afraid to get beat, and this thread is pointless and stupid. What else is new?

    I'm sure that Bute is the one who's negociating with his opponent's promoter :patsch

    Then Bute need's a new promoter that doesn't suck ass and avoid all real challenges.

    I think that all Bute's fans will agree with you. It's too easy to blame Bute about not fighting top guys but the business team behind him is the real problem.

    Fair enough. I think Bute's a talented fighter, he just needs to prove it against real grade A opposition.

    I understand your point. I made the thread basically to put an angle forward which nobody else had and bring light onto it.

    People like Dude would do well to listen to some one with such supirior V-Cash.

    Anyway, Vad-87 I admire the fact your honest about being disappointed with this as a Bute fan. This would be a good/tough fight and also a great prep for Ward because Johnson is quite similar really. I can almost understand the promoters view of not wanting to lose money on the risk reward fight but this does make them look like the party to blame for big fights not happening.

    I asked the Bute fans blaming Johnson to answer this new question and they couldn't. I agree though, I don't blame Bute the fighter, not even Johnson does and he knows more than me.

    Bute is another Euro hype job being promoted by asshats, nobody is ducking him.... his team is trying to rob people.

    Interbox is garbage, join GBP or Top Rank or GTFO.

    How do you figure Johnson and Ward are similar?

    Recall the quote was “significantly more than a million dollars less than the $1.35 million offer made to first potential opponent, Kelly Pavlik.”

    In other words, significantly less than $350,000
