Bute I made(Froch) an offer of 1mil$ he refused(Can) now I'm wating for an offer(Eng)

I came to thisthread to find out the latest news on this and you hit me with your speculation....not cool.

If you're gonna open a thread with a title like that, stick to the facts not speculation. IMO 85% or more of what we heard about this fight so far has been speculation.

Personally I am tired of itatsch

:yep:hey !!

 

you shoud've mentioned in the threat's title that this is just what you suppose from the pieces of information gathered; i was also expecting fresh news.
I doubt Sky wouldn't jump on this opportunity, it's not like the british boxing scene is crowded with p4p kings.
I think both parties expect the other to make a move; the problem i think is Showtime; if Hearn takes this fight with Showtime's disapproval (even if Showtime disapproves only on Interbox part of the deal) it will reflect on their future colaboration; it's bad to upset a maybe future business partner. I think Hearn expect Interbox to make a deal with Showtime and bring them to England.

 

Jean Bédard meets Showtime people on Monday. Until then, nothing is gonna happen.

 

We expect delusional fan boy opinions from you, beastside and Chitownfan :hey

 

who knows, maybe we'll have a surprise (a good one this time) and Showtime will convince Goossen to put on line his golden egg

 

Of course if Showtime had been happy to air Bute-Froch live in Canada, the supplied fee (around 2M) would have made negotiations way easier. Or am I out to lunch?

 

That would be nice. Since January I have been wasting my time online trying to find out news on the next fight. Tough when few people wants to fight Bute

 

I have faith in Bedard. Guy operates 50 plus resto-bars and still finds time to dabble in boxing. Guy's loaded

 

Here is an article in Romanian newspaper Adevarul called "They don't want me at the top"
I will post the translation of the article which is from a phone conversation with bute who is training in Florida but first this is the pic:

I give in.
Where do they stand?

 

I'd like to know as well. PTF, please create a Twitter account and poke Carl & Eddie for info... if you do that, I'll do the same for Bute & Larouche.

Deal? :deal

 

Make a new thread! Bute 24/7

 

Here is the article from today from Romanian newspaper Adevarul. Sorry if it sounds awkward I had to translate as fast as I could


Super-Middleweight Champion, IBF version, believes that his ascension has angered rivals.


Lucian Bute is about ten days in Miami, where he is training

"Truth": Why do you train now?


Lucian Bute: For Champions League (European Soccer competition) , just joking. I am preparing for a fight nobody knows it will happen. Unfortunately, I do not know who I will box.

Why?

Because nobody accepted to fight me for April 14, which was fixed for the next confrontationl. We then decided to focus on on May 12 but it looks like this will not happen either

Will the confruntation with Carl Froch not happen?

I want the fight! But he, made all the fuss in the press that he beats me easily and that's the best in the world . I made him concrete offer to come to Montreal for a one million dollars, but refused. Then I sent him to make me an offer and I go to England to box him at home. But I got nothing. I still hope to make it match.

But he is not mandatory challenger?

Yes, but may refuse the match and then his place will be promoted to the number 3. Now is a Canadian Adonis Stevenson, even in Montreal. He wants a fight with me because a meeting with champion would raise the rate but I do not to fight Adonis now and have everyone say that I stick with fighting "unskilled workers".

Super Six winner, Andre Ward does not count?

A match Bute - Ward is now the great challenge of the Showtime and we try to persuade them to accept the fight. Tournament "Super Six" was a NOT a huge deal in financial terms. At the finals in Atlantic City there were 2000 attendees. Well, I never had the match in Montreal in the last five years, where we sold less than 15,000 free tickets. Showtime would get their investment with a match Bute - Ward, but he refused.

So basically, nobody wants to fight you.
Of the best, it looks that nobody wants to fight me. I specified to Froch, and Ward's that I will go to thier home towns in in Nottingham, or in Oklahoma, and fight there even if a loss of over one million dollars in ticket sales tickets, because Froch does not collect more than 8,000 people and up to 10,000 people gather Ward in the room. Unfortunately, I was not contacted by any of them.

Why do you think you have to deal with this situation?

I believe that I am not wanted at the top of boxing at my class, and therefore these fights are not made. In normal terms neither Ward nor Froch should have a reason to refuse a fight with me. You know our saying [Romanian saying] - "Come, brother, to see which is better!"
Teh fact that I come from Romanian and fight out of Montreal is not an advantage for me. They Probably did not expect anyone to resist so much with this belt and are afraid I would sink these two as well.

Would you call yourself Romanian or Canadian
I received Canadian citizenship, but must take the oath. Legally I am Romanian Soon, I will have Canadian citizinship.

Why not prepare to Montreal?

I had to do a camp in which to charge the batteries - Florida is warmer, quieter, and does me well

How is the Injury of the left hand

I started to hit with it but I have a tendency to withheld. It's been almost three months since the last match and still feel something there. However, by May I will be OK.

Tomorrow turns 32 years

Lucian Bute is born on February 28, 1980, and aging a year tomorrow. There will be no party, but will be a normal day of training. "Saturday there were some friends of mine from Montreal and we went to a restaurant. During the week I do not go anywhere. Only once in the weekend we go out to relax.
