    Bute beating Froch on EPIX will make him an international boxing star, popular both in Europe and in America while is not even popular in his own country. If Ward doesn't fight Bute next, it will the greatest duck of our time after Pac or Meaweather (that debate still goes on).

    Yes Ward should be favored to beat Bute but that is no easy fight. Bute could knock out Ward at any point. Something tells me Ward's chin is not iron.

    It's hard to respect Ward despite his tournament victory. He refuses to fight his black friends (the Dirrells) or his mentor (Hopkins). He never left his home country during the tournament.

    Personally, I think Bute is faster of both hand and feet and without a hometown ref I think Ward will get abused.

    Ward will have an easy tune fight then he will fight with Bute , maybe twice because Bute can draw and Ward needs money , this is all about .
    The fight will take place in Vegas in Octomber .:yep


    P.S I don't think Ward will fight ever with Dirrell or Dawson because they can't draw **** and besides that are too risky ; high risk and low reward.

    Probably Ward and Bute will meet eachother and fight at LHW again.

    Farmboxer just makes **** up. He is a racist tool that once told me he marched with Martin Luther King even tho he is only in his 40's. That too may be a lie.

    So according to these lame bute fans since his fight with froch ward has ducked bute, hopkins andre and anthony dirrell. That's a lot of ducking for a guy with a broken hand.

    Another thing that seems to be mis-understood he. Large in arena crowds don't mean big money for the fighters. Bute is like the local kid with a large local following. Real money in boxing is made from ppv. Where bute is unknown. Ward vs Bute is the biggest fight at the weight and it wouldn't do 500k on ppv right now.

    Doubtful. Bute wouldn't sell 30k in the States.

    that would be with 25k more than Ward will.Ward can't even sell 10k tickets for his home fights,in his house with his fans and people all over the States will pay 50-100$ for a ppv when his friends and family won't pay 30 bucks to see him live?

    Is Ward a draw anywhere? Anywhere at all?

    Bute is a draw in most places where boxing is appreciated.

    He sold 5,000 tickets in 24 hours in Nottingham, of all places!

    :hi:

    Hah, even if this would be true, Ward is a nobody both at home and outside US.
