simplethedumbest should be your new nickname! espn,showtime and HBO already been in Montréal and will all go back there in a near future! and if you really think that Bute is scared to face anybody it's just :nut
I didn't say he was scared to face anybody you Butard, I said he's scared to face anybody outside of the Bell Centre. We all know he's a warrior when he's got the refs, judges, ring size all in his favor in the confines of Montreal. When he's ready to step up on the world stage and fight someone where he can be KTFO'd again and not rescued by the ref, I'll give him his due.
You just disqualified yourself of any serious discussion... If you only knew the state of boxing outside of the province of Quebec...For **** sake, you see PPV with nobody in the seats in Vegas or Atlantic City, you won't see that in Montreal. For Dawson-Pascal, you'll have at least 10 000 tckets holders in there. How much will Kessler get for his next fight vs Allan Green? And could you please tell us in what kind of shithole you live yourself? Siberia? Bye Bye Noob!:hi:
You ain't that good at maths, aren't you? Tell me why he would go fight in Atlantic City to sell 700 tickets when, for a shitty fight like the one he's having with Brinkley, Interbox will sell close to 15 000 tickets? He ain't gonna do that kind of money in Reno... Give him the same money he would do in the Bell Center and he'll knock on your door to sing the papers...If Abraham or Froch brings the money, he'll come to them.
Let's face it people, professional boxing says it all, it's a business. So why does Bute fight in Montreal? Because he makes money there! For sure home decision exist, but in choosing neutral ref and judges it became less an issue, exactly what Bute did since the first Andrade fight and all the drama attached to it.
I have seen a bunch of top notch shows put on in Quebec over the past ten years or so. They do a great job and Bute is one of my favorite fighters too watch!
If you're going to insult someone, try to at least use grammar above that of a 10 year old. So you're saying Bute can't draw outside the Bell Centre, well maybe if he got his ass out of podunk Canada and stopped fighting scrubs he would become a draw. I doubt he makes all that much anyway. It's not like he's an elite fighter, he certainly hasn't beaten anyone elite. He's just cheap labor for Interbox.
Joe was better in most areas, but the one things thats for sure is that Bute hits harder than Joe ever did.
Cheap labor making more than a million a year from his contract with Interbox. That's a new definition of cheap labor...Add to that some of the money made with HBO and with the tickets... The Chinese workers might find your allusion a bit insulting... You didn't say where your were from...too tiny of a place?
Most opponents are happy to go to Canada. Ya fight where the money is, and in a Bute fight the money is in Montreal.
Bute got a little under 1 million for the Andrade rematch not to bad IMO! For recognition i don't think it's important where you fight but who see it! With is last 2 fights on HBO i don't see how he can be seen by more peoples. And stop talking about bad judging in Quebec a lot of ours boxers lost close decisions in the last couple of years it's only that you don't know it.
he's been in with some rough guys, would like to see him in with a boxer....jury is still out on him, i think he's a talented fighter but he is just missing something IMO
That Bute has a questionable chin is a complete myth. Most guys get knocked down when they're THAT exhausted. As already mentioned, he's been hit square by Miranda, Berrio and Bika, all big punchers, and never got buzzed. Stamina might still be an issue, but it's hard to tell - he hasn't gone 12 rounds since the Andrade debacle.
