    I'm am not discussing the possibility of it...


    Just saying that you can't blame people for being sure it's not Bute's fault and then being sure yourself it is his fault.


    Both ways are as much ridiculous.

    Get it?

    Are you serious? You acknowledge that the S6 excuse was credible yet go on by saying "Since then"... damn, the S6 ended less then 3 months ago.

    I'm tired of Bute facing no hopers at 168 but if the S6 was a legitimate excuse, we also have to acknowledge that fighters that first got out of the S6 (Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler) did it because of injuries. Then out of Green, Johnson and Abraham, Johnson was the one who looked best (losing a SD) and Bute fought him. Bute was in AC on december 17th and had discussions with both Ward and Froch promoters. Ibox was told by the Ward camp that it was not possible right now so they turned around and made a deal that was torpedoed by Showtime.

    So, really, what the **** are you talking about?

    Alright guys, here's a Twitter update from Froch if that means anything to you (otherwise, well move along lol).


    Some fan: "@Carl_Froch you got an oppenent for may yet carl? Who's on the shortlist champ?"


    Carl: "@god_of_thearena still waiting on @interboxbute he talks a mean trip to the UK!"


    Now what does that mean? Are Froch & Hearn waiting for.. an answer on an offer they've made? They just can't be waiting for a Bute-Froch offer in the UK from Interbox, Bedard doesn't promote fights in the UK.

    Eddie, speak up, where does this sit on your desk?!??!??!?!?????????

    There has been s6 Fighters available for more than 3 months dude and Since the final ended 3 months ago, Bute has tried to get some and still hasnt been able to. According to the Bute-stans its the other sides fault. Go figure.

    It probably means that Bute wants a monsterpurse for leaving his comfortzone. Also that Hearn has difficulty in satisfying interbox' demands. Finally it also means that negotiations havent been ditched yet.

    You operated a very poor word choice. You should try "IMO, that could mean that...", "it is possible that...", "one potential explanation could be that...". The word "probably" implies a high probability level here inferred from no factual basis. It is not the first time that you take your own "first thoughts" as probably accurate descriptions of reality (while they're of course just a wild guess); I'd say it should be about time to raise your (self-)critical thinking standards.

    The distorted information you pass to the forum by inapropriate word choice is of course of my concern, as well as of any other decent user. Your "probably" suggests you have an inside knowledge on these negotiations actual status. If so, state it loudly and clearly, if not it would be much better to rephrase your above statement (I gave you several appropriate sample formulas).

    No it doesnt suggest that.

    Be glad that I didnt state it was because of problems with Bute's passport.


    And if you have a problem with my posting allow me to direct your attention towards the ignore function. Its there for a reason.

    So be it: on which basis have you decided that your alleged explanation is the most probable?

    It would have been factually inconsistent with other available information and with you not being a troll but a decent (although somehow biased, but so is everybody) user.

    It is not by me ignoring you that you might realize an eventual flaw in your post. Were I you, I would be glad to explain why I used the word "probable" (if there's a real justified reason) or to aknowledge I might have said something inaccurate & stand corrected. However, you're not me, so feel free to use that function you mentioned if my observation does not fit your metaphysical taste (I would still be dissapointed in this case).
