In french http://www.rds.ca/boxe/chroniques/333589.html RDS learned today that Interbox continue the negociations. Bute' s team that Froch still their first choice because that Ward wants to wait. Hopkins is not their choice for his next fight. RDS thinks that they should get an agreement soon
Selon Stéphan Larouche, Lucian Bute est prêt à affronter n’importe quel boxeur mais visiblement, il a une préférence pour Froch : « Froch nous donnerait un duel très intéressant, ça serait vendeur! Mais Lucian va se battre contre n’importe qui, on laisse ça dans les mains de Jean Bédard et on se concentre sur l’entraînement. » -According to Stephan Larouche (Bute's trainer), while Bute is willing to face anybody he has a preference for Froch. "Froch would make for a very interesting matchup, it would be sell alright! However Lucian will fight anybody, we leave it in Jean Bédard's hands and we focus on training." Cool.
Who is going believe this bull****.Without Showtime it's dead in the water.Interbox cannot underwrite this fight on their own,who do they think they are,Top Rank?atsch
:roflatsch i.e "we will keep talking about fighting the best while my promoter scours the liquor stores of South America for yet another stiff."
I think Showtime is gonna side with this fight after all. It a great fight, there's already animosity, the tickets are gonna sell well, being in Montreal or Nottingham.
