    Sources say this very week, Interbox lawyers negociate with Showtime the break up of the contract in order to sign a new one with HBO.

    Probably they menace the network with court for obstructioning their business and not taking a good fight in Froch-Bute.

    However,is heard neither HBO won`t air this one.

    Ken Herschmann announced from the last fall is interested in Bute.

    Since Interbox refused 10 mil per another 3 fights, HBO offer...?Anyway they propose a 3-4 fight deal also.

    It may be true , but I really don't trust some of the romanian journalists.

    Agree, but since it`s mentioned the period and sintagma "negociate intensely" this seems veritable.Romanians are good on gossip.This means:

    1.They could spread untrue rumors.
    2.They are the first who spread the true news.

    ian Bute, star pe HBO
    February 13, 2012 · 23:13 | Autor: Laurentiu Teodorescu
    Campionul roman, detinator al centurii cu diamante in versiunea IBF, categoria supermijlocie, isi cedeaza drepturile de imagine companiei “Time Warner”.


    Lucian Bute are centura cu diamante la categoria supermijlocie, versiunea IBF
    Contractul in valoare de sase milioane de dolari semnat cu “Showtime” in noiembrie 2010 prevede ca Lucian Bute sa boxeze in trei gale organizate de gigantul media american. La momentul acesta, mai este loc pentru o singura lupta, dupa care romanul devine “pugilist liber de contract”. “National” va poate dezvalui ca, in aceasta saptamana, avocatii campionului din Pechea negociaza intens cu reprezentantii “Showtime” ruperea angajamentului. “Din moment ce «Showtime» nu este interesata sa transmita un meci cu britanicul Froch, atunci nu mai are rost continuam colaborarea, avem cu totii alte planuri, alte viziuni”, ne-a declarat un apropiat de-al lui Bute.

    Minimum trei meciuri, peste 6 milioane de dolari

    Sefii “HBO” il curteaza pe Lucian Bute inca din toamna anului trecut, mai exact de cand Ken Hershman a demisionat din functia de presedinte al diviziei Sport a “Showtime” pentru un post in conducerea trustului “Time Warner”. Hershman este nimeni altul decat omul care l-a convins pe Bute, in 2010, sa semneze cu “Showtime”. Neoficial, oferta “HBO” este urmatoarea: minimum trei lupte, peste doua milioane de dolari pentru fiecare gala! Vorbim, in mod cert, de un contract net superior celui avut pana acum de Lucian Bute cu “Showtime”.

    HBO are crema boxului mondial

    Cei mai importanti pugilisti ai planetei se afla sub contract cu “HBO”: fratii Vitali si Vladimir Klitschko, Floyd Mayweather, Chad Dawson, Bernard Hopkins, Juan Manuel Marquez, Manny Pacquiao, Antonio Margarito sau Miguel Cotto. In trecut, sub organizarea “HBO” au boxat Oscar de la Hoya, Joe Calzaghe si Shane Mosley.

    Urca la alta categorie din 2013?

    Exista informatii ca, pentru Lucian Bute, o eventuala trecere la “HBO” va insemna incheierea socotelilor cu categoria “supermijlocie”. Puternicul trust media american isi doreste sa-l vada pe roman boxand in State, fie cu Bernard Hokpins (campion WBC), fie cu Chad Dawson, ambii fiind pugilisti la categoria semigrea.

    Se duce peste Froch la Nottingham

    Desemnat de catre IBF challenger obligatoriu al centurii cu diamante, britanicul Carl Froch nu doar ca va avea sansa sa lupte cu Lucian Bute, dar o va face si in fata propriilor fani. Ultimele informatii din tabara romanului indica faptul ca prima gala dintre cei doi pugilisti va avea loc in Anglia, la Nottingham, orasul natal al fostului campion WBC.

    And this makes sense how?
    Tell me another super middleweight fighter who is on HBO?
    Now he has got out of fighting ward/kessler/dirrell and the rest?
    Maybe he can fight Chavez Jr

    Easy...Didn`t Bute fight twice at 168 on HBO? What ? SHO has exclusivity on the division? I don`t think so!

    I'm saying that if the cream of the crop is on showtime, and you defect to HBO, you are now avoiding the cream of the crop. That's how it looks to me.

    Showtime are at fault, the contract should have stipulated that he has to fight the winner of the super six. I personally believed when he signed up with showtime that was the intention. Lining up a unification fight with the winner. Thats what we all want to see.

    And another one

    Showtime had contracts with the super six-ers regarding the tourney.Direll has nothing signed with them more.About Kessler I know about a promise regarding a match with Super Six winner, so is all about Ward.I don`t know if Ward has a multifight deal post tournament.Probably will see Kessler-Ward II on their network and that`s it...

    Bute declared "a Ward-Bute fight would be like a cake for HBO".I don`t think he declared that for nothing.Interbox were in the very hours before the final AND DECLARED THEY WANT IMEDIATELY THE WINNER.Adding Showtime refused to air a Bute-Froch to not lose Bute it`s very clear for me Ward-Bute can and very probable will be aired by HBO!
