Showtime reject Bute v Froch

Thats not going to happen. doubt we'll ever see Eddie and Frank work together on a big fight. Have you seen FWs big open letter to Eddie over on the scene? No love lost at all.

 

I think Bute-Ward should be made instead. Admittedly, don't find Froch Vs Bute that appealing a matchup, in terms of what Frochy brings to the table and as I don't want to see him get spanked again.

 

Bit harsh on Froch that really after they have spent his last 6 fights building Froch up and making him an attraction they decide that pitting him with another non US fighter also on Showtime makes no sense.

I guess I can see the idea that they would want a Bute win maybe more than a Froch win but still seems a bit harsh.

Tough to see where Forch goes from here does thi smean Showtime basically arent backing him anymore :think Maybe he should just have an easyish Euro level fight as a homecoming, rematch Magee? Would still sellout Trent FM arena.

 

I agree with Flea. It's got to be Ward v Bute. Plus Bute will give Froch a hiding.
Rather see Froch fight at the City ground against Kessler/Stieglitz or move up
to fight Pascal/Cleverly.

 

Maybe Froch will have an easier fight if the Bute fights off? I don't begrudge him that, might be good for him in the long run, then fight the winner of Kessler v Stieglitz in the summer?

 

There's always a Pascal rematch.

Or he could have a bit of a lay-off and wait for Kessler.

 

good shout

 

Showtime dont want Booty anywhere near Froch as it can **** up there plans of showing Bute-Ward.

 

how so?

 

if it means they make Bute vs Ward I will be happy.

offer some big money and get Kelly Pavlik over. The fight still sells and Pavlik is WBO No.1 so he gets the Kessler rematch.

 

If Froch won then it would tatter showtimes plan of showing Ward-Bute...simples.
