    You don't understand the word "if" I can see, I was talking about what could cause Bute to give up his belt, not what would actually happen, but you missed that because you saw a negative post about Bute, and immediately jumped into the defense.

    I know the splits, I have most likely followed boxing a lot longer than you, and not only 1 boxer unlike you it seem.

    Anyway, lets talk what would ACTUALLY happen if Froch becomes mandatory, the fight won't go to purse bid ofc, it would as you stated be stupid of Froch seen from an economical sense, Froch will be given a nice offer maybe a career high for him, and he goes to Canada and takes his beating.

    Good post.....and then he gets paid to fight Pavlik or Tony Dirrel while Ward finishes off Kessler.:deal Should Froch win that fight, he'll be getting his return fight with Bute.

    I think Showtime would float that. 4 mil for Bute/ Froch, 1.5 mil for Froch/ Dir/Pav, and 4 mil for Froch/ Bute 2.

    Should Froch lose to Tony or Pavlik, there would be options, and or step aside money from Bute. I think they should get the 2 fight deal in this contract. This would guarantee Froch another 100K or more, while Bute could pursue Pavlik, D2, Kessler, Ward, or Steilgitz.:think
