So firstly you say that it was reasonable that Bute fought in Canada and the you say that it will be a "battle" to take Bute out of his comfort zone. What's the logic? How did you draw that conclusion?
Just sad you didn't want an avatar bet for the Bute-Johnson fight... If you see the record on fights since Bute-Andrade I, it's pretty fair to everyone who comes here... But it's correct to say that Froch might sell as much tickets in Nottingham as Bute would do in Montreal. Why not do it in N.Y.?
I don't say he is scared either. It's either he wants to **** Bute off, knowing he would face him later, either he's affraid of losing. "Scared" isn't the same with "affraid of losing" in my vocabulary. The first one bears medical consequences, the last one financial ones.
Pascal, Taylor (away), Dirrel, Kessler (away), Abraham (neutral), Johnson (neutral), Ward (away). Love him, hate him...skilled or unskilled...bum or world-class; anyone who accuses Froch of ducking should consider hanging themsleves. The winner of the Super 6 SHOULD demand more money from the Bute fight and have home advantage. If Bute doesn't accept that I'll consider him the ducker.
What are you on about now? I said due to the level of his opponents it was reasonable. The winner of the S6 is not the same, as a lot more money would be involved. not to mention it would be a legacy defining fight for all concerned. If you truly believe the fact Brian Magee came over and fought in Canada is of any relevance as to why Ward/Froch should you're a deluded moron. I can't really grasp what you're trying to get out of this. Bute-S6 Winner should happen, but it should happen in Vegas or MSG, no one should be the "home" fighter in this fight. To a lesser extent it would be like Calzaghe getting Hopkins to fight in Cardiff, it ain't gonna happen.
Why would he have to go outside of Canada for his fights IF both fighters make more money fighting in Montreal or Quebec City?

dont take it as im attacking you bat... this has bin debated for a wile now, u know better than to make it about an amount 3m,2.5m,1m, or 1 krone. its about the lack of counter offer...everybody said the same thing about the pavlik offer as well and he back out claiming he was being lowballed, but we know now and he said this him self, he made a mistake.
I agree to that. But the tickets won't sell has much as in Nothinghamm or MOntreal.[/QUOTE] I don't believe money is everything for a fighter like Froch, I think he'd rather take a smaller payday in Vegas than fight Bute in Canada. And as for Ward I don't think he's ever left America in his life so getting him up to Montreal would be like getting blood out of a stone.
