Yes you're right Bute being the unknown that he is he should pay 100% , even 80% as you mention is to less, let's get real here. And his a paper champion anywhey , actig like that trinket is worth anything, hell the title is so irelevant that they should put it beside and make the fight a normal non-title 10 rounds bout. Oh I almost forgot, now being a non title fight he should also travel and give 100% of the purse, for him it would be an investment for the future. Do a charity fight now and earn big later.I mean Froch,Kessler,Pavlik,Johnson they are all bums with high reword low risk type of fights. He basically has no risck whatsoever. It's a win win situation.
you know thats what an excuse is. you say no excuses and then you make excuses on Hayes pinky toe level After Johnson knocked him out, what will Lucys excuse be? drained? fought during his menses? just wasn´t there that night?:rofl He got hit on the chin and after that he was unable to stand on his feet and unable to walk back into his corner under his own power because he literally was knocked out. When did I say he can´t punch? and how come bums like Mendy were able to put him against the ropes so easily? Why is he unbale to control the distance even against totally inferior semi pro fighters and why does he move in straight lines when he gets attacked why would he want to do this when he is allegedly able to perform any sort of decent footwork? The only reason why you guys from Montreal support Lucy is that he is coincidentally fighting out of Montreal. If your stepson was named Ward or Froch or Kessler, you would just glorify this guy and invent all kind of skills and strengths and impute ém to him. thats were your tree is at. you know like when Haye whos always been an outfighter and always fought the same style in the amateurs and during his pro campaign was compared to Tyson and going to bumrush Wlad according to his brit fans not too long ago.. Those guys they´re unable to feel a fight to feel the opponent to endue an opponent they´re literally unable to fight. They do what they´re used to do if it doesn´t work they fall apart. As far as Lucys chin is concerned, iron chinned 154lbs gatekeeper Ouma was recently able absorb hundreds of decent blows by Golovkin, Lucy couldn´t withstand one. of course he ain´t got no chin. but reality check is comming for you guys nov 5th:good
Why is it that boxing fans in this thread are saying "come on, get real.. Bute has never met anyone. He needs to make some sacrifice. It should be easily understandable". Making sound arguments. Meanwhile the Bute fans are being ironic, posting pictures and writing "you are a moron, this is you", and so on. Having such fans must be devastating to Bute.
Except that Bute beats old Johnson rather easily in Canada. To me Johnson is an ok fight because he will pressure Bute a bit, but Bute is a good fighter (and no amount of immature Bute fans will make me change my mind on that) and he has a style very well suited to deal with Johnson.
IF he had you as a fan he would be suicidel. Thank good for that. So it's okey to be devastated with us as long he doesn't have you.
Bute never made more then 1,3 millions for a fight , in fact he made more then 1 million only 4-5 times in his career. And you're number aren't real . Bute biggest crowd was 14 000 and you will never see 600K PPV , Bute his only known in Quebec were the population is 7 millions so you won't have more then 150 k PPV
I don´t consider Lucy as a fighter at all. limited Andrade gave him a fight and Lucy fell apart Golovkin gave him a fight and Lucy fell apart. What has Lucy done that he deserves being considered as a fighter? He smashed inferior semi pro oponnents put their health on the line but wanted none of anyone with a pulse also tried to duck out of the Johnson and personally I have my doubt that the fight is going to happen until i see both men in the ring and the opening bell rings. I don´t understand how anyone can not be disgusted by that fraud? I know his fanboys act like boxing is a competetion about who looks the most spectacular smashing a certain bum but it isn´t. I want evenly matched fights thats for example why there are weight classes in boxing so physically disadvantaged fighters also get the chance to showcase their skills in evenly matched fights. they weren´t established to get the likes of Lucy an excuse to keep fighting bums for years. Golovkin is more versatile than Johnson but when Golovkin is in his brawl mode hes quite similar to Johnson. Johnson it think he has a reach advantage anyway he is able to time his punches properly and as far as their signature punches are concerned Johnsons overhand right will get the better of Lucys left uppercut in my opinion. Johnson comes on enclosed hes going to get inside where Lucy doesn´t want to be, where Lucy is defenseless, helpless and panics and takes him apart no problem at all. Of course the fight will take place in Montreal theres a possibility that they allow Lucy to again bring one or this time maybe even two of his personal bodyguards with in the ring who then act as a referee and try to help him and prevent Johnson from fighting the fight he wants. It has happened before i know its possible but in a fair fight Johnson wipes the floor with Lucy any day i don´t see any problem at all
Wait a minute - that can't be right, can it? I thought Bute's Showtime deal paid him $2M a fight x3 fights? The first fight of which was Magee? I'm glad to be corrected if I'm wrong, but isn't that the case? Fill me in.
the 2 millions isn't Bute purse it's for the 2 boxers , promotion , rent etc.... Beastside have shown Bute purse for all his fights a couples of time , i need to find those.
You want them to give away all the money just to please your ass ? Are you for real ? Do you want them to give a few free blow jobs while they're at it too ? They've only had 1 offer in 4 years my friend. Truth is all American fighters cannot generate more money than Bute can in Quebec. That's why promoters are even thinking of staging fights like Dawson-Hopkins in Montreal also. The money is there and the promoters want the most money possible all the time Interbox initially insisted for the fight to be in Atlantic City against Pavlik but Bob Arum said no way...because there would be at least 1 million dollars less in revenue. It's a fact. Kessler's team simply did not want that fight now. No matter how you spin it, they backed off with a lack of respect. They didn't show any will to negociate or offer anything. Wake up ! Where are the offers to fight abroad against the best ? Again you fail to rationalize why fights are always in Montreal these days. Why is Pascal vs Cloud in MOntreal ? Same reason again... Funny thing is you more than know and understand this but you prefer to disregard these important facts to stick to your guns...
He pays Stieglitz 3 million + because there are set mandatory rules in place as to how much the champ is to be paid (% wise) and how much the challenger is (%wise). That's the reason, nothing else. :deal
Facts are not for everyone and now we see more and more, that many struggle with simple math... Have you ever found the pic with the 2 weirdos you once put on this site (tall & small biker weirdos) ?
That's interesting -I had always assumed that it was Bute getting $2M, with the opponent extra. Thanks for the info. :thumbsup
