Don't waste your time with Mr.tragic ! I'm not even sure if he like boxing. Remind me of one of my friend who wtill live in his mother basement and never have something positive to say about anything!
The money are quite good in England to so I don't care where they fight, It's true you Canadians should care because you could lose to see the fight live or not.
At the school it is an Inspection. The inspector ask this question: - Children,what do you do if you are in a forest and the bear comes to you? Bula raise his hand. Professor is terrified, but the inspector has already seen the hand rised. - Let the one from the last seat to answer. - Bula pls answer nicely!! - Well I'll start running towards a tree. - Then what? - I start climbing the tree. - And if the bear climbs the tree to? - I'll go to the top of the tree. The Teacher finds it hard to believe that so far Bula said the right things and haven spoken badly. - And if the bear climbs to the top of the tree to? - Hey, go Fu*&$ your mama, you're rooting for the bear ? That's what your reply reminded me of, a Romanian joke. So what do you actually like: Bute to fight Froch or Bute to fight another low rated fighter ? Because from your post you seem a little reserved on wanting Bute-Froch.
If we are a little bit realist, both side wanted the fight, but Showtime didnt want it. It's far easier to make Showtime understand that to keep his belt Bute needs to fight his mandatory and give the opportunity to Showtime to buy the fight as their 3rd contract than make them angry at them because Bute refuse the plan Showtime had for him. The only way I see that it might be a problem, is if in the next 60 days both sides dont come to an agreement, then Froch will have a lot more money in the purse bids than if they negociate as equals. yes Bute have the belt, but Froch is a champion and deserve to be paid like that. Otherwise, I think it's a wonderfull news and we should all rejoice that this fight is a step closer now than it was yesterday. And now, I wish people talk in a positive manner of both boxer and all the excitement that it will give us!
The Champion will receive 75% and the Challenger will receive 25% of total amount of the bid. If the offer is for a vacant title, each boxer will receive 50% of the total amount bid. The percentage splits for elimination bouts and box offs are governed by Rule 9D. In a bout between a Champion and a Challenger ranked #3 or below, the Champion shall receive 85% and the Challenger will receive 15% of the total amount of the bid.
I was thinking the same thing, but thinking gets me in trouble sometimes It would be difficult to prove something like this, but I have seen guys get mandates off loses and mandates magically appearing without an eliminator right after an eliminator has just been fought.:nut
I'm in the US, and now that Froch has been made the mandatory, IMO, Showtime will pick it up. Fingers are crossed either way.:think
Will this fight happen in Nottingham? My guess is no! I have little faith when it comes to Interbox letting their cashcow fight a one deal fight in England!
