    We'll see. Purse bids very soon and IF both promoters attend my guess is they'll come to an agreement to fight in England - so that Taylor gets a bigger share of the purse split. Seems like Froch is available for the Showtime date of March 28, so if Taylor backs out, you never know he could lose his TV date.

    Glen Johnson at catchweight - sounds a bit more risky than it's worth, and I don't think Taylor has that many great options.

    That might just confirm that Bute is gonna fight Tsypko at the place of the stupid Larsen who won't have another chance at a title...:patsch

    Especially if it's a money issue. Having a chance to get the IBF strap was the ticket to more money, even if I didn't think he had a chance against Bute...

    Apparently it was the same money for a Kessler fight.That makes it even worse.

    Well, my assumption was Larsen passed on Bute for Kessler, that is why I asked about the pay day above. Someone said it won't be any different. So, other than staying home and getting more local exposure, doesn't seem to make sense. Bird in the hand when Kessler says he doesn't want the fight? :huh

    the assumption, that palle behind kesslers back, is trying to sort out a larsen fight, isnt that farfetched.. i believe, that such a fight, would be palle´s dream and likely to happen..

    larsen has already stated, "this is what the danes want" "we should give the people of denmark this fight" and so on .. previously he didnt give a **** and i certainly believe, that he still doesnt give a ****.. this is larsen as a spin doctor,trying to get attention and use any media, to make it happen..

    larsen probably wouldnt say no to bute, without something better in sight..

    sadly all the signs are there, witout knowing, im saying that i believe, that the fight will happen..

    I'm happy Larsen declined a Bute fight cause Larsen means **** all for Bute ! Bute needs to keep fighting on Showtime against legit, good or known opposition, someone like Taylor, Miranda or Green, before his next fight against a guy like Kessler.

    his next fight will probably be Andrade. He can think of unifying after that mandatory.

    I've been told that two names are currently on the table for Bute's next fight.

    I didn't get any names but I was told they are better then Larsen and Tsypko.

    I'd be fine with Tsypko but if they can get someone better I'd be very happy.

    Hopefully, it's a USA fighter and the fight will be on US tv.
