Dre has already turned down the April date in Canada. He dropped his promoter when his promoter recommended he take the shot.:think
Why are you lying? The only reason he chose to go on his own was the be all end all reason: HE COULD NOT GET PROMOTIONAL LEVERAGE IN ANY FIGHTS, ANY.. NOT JUST ONE, BUT ALL OF THEM. He chose to go down his own path to secure more financial benefit and greater promotional leverage, not because Bute offered him a fight in Canada. Showtime has set their demands, Bute has neglected them, he's already made $3m+ off of Showtime, and they're making sure he fullfills his promises made when he signed the contract. He rather fight a tomato can in CAN/ROM than to take a risk to get to Ward, in fighting a top man in USA.
Why are you lying? Shaw says he would love for Dirrell to take the Bute fight in Canada. Shaw gets fired. Team Dirrell Promotions is stood up, with Uncle Leon saying Bute should come out of Canada to fight... who? Let's see Leon Lawson organize a boxing card from scratch. :rofl :rofl :rofl Showtime demands that he fights an American, not that he fights an American in America.
Ofcourse Shaw was saying that, because he has no trust in Dirrell, and he wants to sell Dirrell out and make as much money off of him as humanly possible. Dirrell wants to build a legacy and reap the benefits of his hard labour. Its just wise of him to go his own way.
as bute ward does not make sense...****in double standerts, you are become more of a troll than the Presedent...by the way, where is he? not that i miss him...maybe you changed your name mr magic formerly nown as the president.lol
:goodGood post..........I think it's fair to say that the top 10 of the SMW division is pretty decent right now, and the few LHW's who would jump on the money for Bute would also be decent if not good matches considering the circumstances. A few ppl have mentioned Pascal as an option. Being a Candian and a huge draw himself would be a great fight too, but would Showtime accept fight, and how would this fight affect the IBF and Bute's SMW standing?:think
I've been here since 2002, the other poster you're talking about, as good a poster as he was, he was still nothing but a newbie, much like yourself :hi:
Mr Magic was a sensible fightfan when I saw him posting on K2 thread......that is, unless I have confused him with someone else. The whole death of Smokin Joe has everyone changing their av's like they change their drawers......can't tell who's who sometimes.:yep
Have had this since the day Joe Frazier died, and I think I am the only one with this avatar. And yes, I was the one posting in the K2 thread. Sensible because of what? My realization of the fact that Klitschkos are the undisputable HW kings at this present time? I think you'll find you agree with me on more topics, but your Bute bias has inevitably clogged up and clouded your judgement, the guy is nothing but a hometown fraud, I'm telling you! :good
Hopkins is an HBO fighter as of April date, Dre won't take the fight, and Froch can't risk it until Lucian is free of Showtime. I think Froch will be his June or July fight......and in Knottingham. Maybe Froch can get the WBO LHW belt from Cleverly for leverage then fight Bute in a non title fight at 170. Forch of course brings the bacon in UK........and that's good business for both parties. BUT.....................Bute can't wait. He hasn't fought since when Nov......he needs a fight sooner than July. He's also stated he wants 3 fights this year. My favs would be................ TDirrel or Stevenson/Gonzo winner in April in Canada. Froch or Stieglitz in UK or Germany in June/July. DDirrel or Ward in Oct/Nov in Vegas or MSG.:deal
Did Wladimir Klitschko have to go to USA and fight Brewster, did he have to go and fight Samuel Peter in the comeback tour? No, but he did because he's a legitimate champion, not some hometown fraud like Bute. He could've stayed in Germany all his career and fought, he chose to make a legacy for himself. He's not some bum like Bute.
He should fight Green. :rofl Afterall Green is such a big attraction and he has been so successful since the Johnson fight. :happy:happy:happy **** I can't wait !
