    If so, then is this fight on Showtime or HBO on May 24th and who is rumoured to fight on the immediate undercard ?

    Does anyone know more about this ?

    Would this mean that Bute is on the card and will face the winner ?

    Yes..Fightnews has confirmed May 24th and it being on Showtime !
    If it is in Montreal, then they will have a packed Bell Center with 20 000 fans on hand !! I imagine Bute would fight an optional defence on that card which would set up an eventual huge fight between the winner of Kessler-Miranda and Bute..

    Montreal makes perfect sense because Kessler v. Bute can be set up and because Miranda v. Pascal can be set up with that fight. And, of course, Bute could do his thing on the night too.

    Would make some sense... If Bute is fighting the dane Mads Larsen...

    There has been talks for years about a Kessler - Larsen fight, so no matter who wins in the Bute-Larsen fight, it would be a nice setup for Kessler. And if Kessler should happen to lose to Miranda, the same applies for fighting the loser actually.

    Once Showtime and HBO realize they can pack the Bell Center with
    20 000 + fans, they'll be tempted to come back !

    I have no idea where is this Montreal thing coming from but I highly doubt it.

    It's a neutral place, EST time, big audience guaranteed; there are no cards planned for the 24th in the USA yet/

    Montreal crowd would be pro-kessler. The Casinos in AC would bring more money, big audience, EST time.

    Hey, I would love if it was in Montreal, I would be there to see this fight, but I don't see it happening.

    If this would be held in Montreal, I would bet a co-promotion between Team Palle, Seminoles and GYM. So, no Bute and Interbox in the picture! Arturo Gatti has sold his condo in NJ and moved back to his hometown of Montreal. He is now partner with GYM and he said he wants to bring HBO in Montreal within the end of the summer. So, it might be his shot although I'll be very surprised! But it's cool to speculate! For sure, that would draw 20 000 fans in the Bell Center with an electrical atmosphere.

    Kessler-Miranda and Pascal vs TBA in semi-final! Then you complete the undercard with boxers from Seminole and GYM stalls.

    Why not!!! GYM and Seminoles have already successfully co-organized the last Miranda fight event last January. They have already agreed to repeat it next year. Now, Palle will have to work with Seminoles for that upcoming fight. So, 1+1+1 = 3. But I'll very surprised if it's happening here in Mtl. But let's speculate for the pleasure of it!

    In that case...GYM might do it, rather than Interbox. :good

    Any news about Bute's next likely opponent?
