    From his last twitter message we can conclude that they are getting closer to a deal.

    Watch Carl Twitter folks Froch Vs. Bute in England is to be announced soon after the date will be released.

    I am sure Hearn and Interbox have been busy crunching numbers to get the most possible money out of this.

    If it aint in May, Carl's stadium seems out of the question.....which then leaves Montreal and Bute's stadium for April.

    This may be good news, perhaps Showtime is gaining interest and would rather put on a great show in NA, EST, that they could actually make money on.

    But......I think there will be strings attached, like perhaps a 2 fight extension for Bute and Froch. :think

    It would be stupid to make it on May 5 with Mayweather-Cotto taking over the night.

    Why, if its in England and Showtime won't pick it up anyways? HBO won't either.. so.

    It would steal a lot of attention out of it, that was my point. Though I didn't know that SHOWTIME won't host in England.

    Its not that they don't want England, its that they don't want Froch-Bute, they want Bute vs. a top American fighter, preferably in AMERICA. Bute don't want to do it.

    If Ward was coming off a loss then Bute would be all over it.

    Ofcourse.


    Taking on fighters fresh off a convincing LOSS hits all Butes buttons.
    Look at Mendy, he got dropped out COLD and Bute was up for that fight like a heroin addict is for heroin.
