Posted a minute ago by Jean Bedard (Bute's promoter) on Interbox's facebook page: "We're still waiting for offers to fight in Nottingham or Oakland. It is too quiet. Ward the Froch is going on?" Is Bedard lying? If not, then how come when Bute is now willing to fight in someone else's backyard, nobody wants to fight him?
Ward is ducking Bute, fullstop. Froch, I think, wants to fight him, but only in his backyard (Nottingham). The problem is Froch is not a big draw (by Bute's standards) anywhere, including in Nottingham, and cannot make Bute a sensible offer without Sky putting up most of the money.
A fight against Bute is a big risk , no matter where's the venue of that fight ! I still think that Bute-Froch will happen in may ! Ward probably waits to see how Bute will do against Froch and then will ask him another fight ( to prove himself ) against Andre Dirrell . :yep
Big bump Someone please confirm this. WTF is going on? It smells horrible. A hipo's carcass smeels better then what I smell here.
You can rely on Drozzy to bring a bit of perspective here.:deal Let's all keep an open mind here People. Very rarely to you get the exact truth till the day the contracts get signed.Nothing worrying me here.
Hey what's up bro? What do you think of all of this? Bute-Froch was supposed to be a done deal (at least that's what both camp were saying), and then Showtime ****ed everything up.. After that, the fight was still on and once again, almost a done deal. Froch becomes mandatory, everyone seemed happy, to me it looked like it was almost official, but now.. nothing? :huh
In the midst of all this cherry picking going on by Interbox and Team Bute, I'd expect nothing less from any of you Butte-lickers than to support him and say Froch/Ward/Dirrell/-insert top level fighters like Pascal,B-Hop here- to be ducking Bute, and justifying him fighting yet another no-hoper. Bute is already an irrelevant fighter in the SMW mix, him and his team have even gone on to say Ward is "THE MAN". There is nothing more to be said about Bute and Interbox, they want to make money, let them do it. I won't include Bute in my "to watch" or my top5 SMW list. At least not until he steps up and fights a legitimate fighter, for once.
Doin OK thanks mate.You? I'm not overly concerned about this.I can think of many instances when promoters and managers would tell you their fighters would wear a pink tutu in the ring before they'd agree to a match then lo and behold;the fight is announced. The division isn't exactly loaded with talent so the top 4 need each other...and maybe Bute as well! (boom boom guys!:yepOnly kidding:tong) I know I could have this wrong,but I'm honestly not worried...yet:yikes
Ward the Froch is going on ??? Good one by Bedard but i have an answer. Maybe they already feel the pain of an upporcut to their liver...
