When Interbox finds out that Ward/Froch/Kessler wont fight in Quebec and that they wont get paid what they think they are worth....................... look for them to invite ***rias up for a payday and another moneyspinning Bute lovefest in Canada while claiming Bute to be boxings most avoided man.
My god those rankings are.......there aren't words for it. Anyone got episode 2 for the Bute documentary ?
Probably a good idea to drop that belt, seeing as Bute could end up fighting Andrade for a third time :huh Andrade fights Don George in an eliminator, december 17.
They won't need to face the mandatory if they do a unification. Even if it's not a mandatory, they'll ask a derogatory to be able to make a big fight. Since it's the first time they ask, they expect the IBF to accept the proposition. The situation is different today than 6 months and 1 year ago: there are good available opponents for Bute. Froch, Ward, Dirrell, Kessler a bit later.
This fight is staged for AFTER the S6! Great! If Bute is already signed to fight the winner, or loser for that matter, it won't make a bit of difference, so long as he's scheduled to fight. ABCs and their damned system, killing the sport again. How the heel is Bute not Ward/Kesslers mandatory and vice versa. Just a way to keep the money train moving.atsch Bute's team needs to act now to reserve an Atlantic City venue, a co-promoter and a marquee with about 3 other big names. Seeing the young beast Cote wouldn't be so bad, and the undefeated Dirrel brother seems very promising. Both on the UC could really make for a megafight that Ward/Froch winner or loser couldn't dare pass on without being labeled the SWM coward of the century.:deal
Worst case scenario is he drops the belt like Erdei did and everyone ignores him and makes up bull**** excuses like they've been doing. He has some profile due to being on Showtime but i could see Kessler doing like he has been, Froch moving up to LHW and Ward who knows.
S6 loser wont have a belt,Dirrell doesnt own a belt,Kessler must get past Stieglitz to get a belt so whoever Bute fights other than the S6 winner he'l get stripped cause aint no other one available with a belt only Osthuizen.
