    How has this happened?

    Carl Froch has no business being the IBF mandatory. The WBC, fair enough, IBF no.

    Something must be done about this. It is wrong.

    "The opponent for May 5 is still to be resolved. Without being coy about who we are hoping to bring over, there aren't many people prepared to fight me out there at super-middleweight and that includes IBF champion Lucian Bute, who refused to come to Nottingham for the date."

    Zero chance. Bute wont take the risk, and Eddie wont win the bids over the Canadian's who see Bute as a massive draw.

    Froch draws tickets and the £ is worth triple what the canadian $$ is worth. Froch can sell half the tickets and bring more cash to the table.

    Froch draws a fair few tickets, but not the TV crowd (his biggest fight on Sky TV he lost). Bute is massive over there

    Doesn't that assume that ticket prices in the UK cost the same number of £s that Bute tickets in Canada cost in dollars?

    Froch deserves a home fight whilst Bute needs to get his arse out of Canada for some recognition.

    Get it sorted!

    Froch seems to think Bute is coming over to the UK on Twitter.
