I don't think it matters. There's no way Bute is going to appeal against the decision, on some technicality, whether valid or not. He's made that loud and clear several times. He was asked about Eddie Hearn jumping in the ring, etc. and he said there was no problem because he lost the fight in the ring anyway. End of story where Bute is concerned. End of story as far as we should be concerned too. And I wouldn't waste my time listening to anything self-serving, self-promoting Obreja has to say anyway.
He was asked about 2.5 $ purse and didn't denied it or confirm it but he said after paying all the taxes and trainers, sparing partner, plain thickest, and all other expense he is left with less then half almost 40% of the amounts. An example was given if he wins 1 mil $ he is left with 350-400 $
Apparently, the 2.5 m USD figure was corrected by the same source to 1.2 m USD, which confirms that he took a big pay-cut to make this fight happen in Nottingham. Anyway, I'm not about to worry about Bute's financial situation. I don't think he does either.:good
it seems that Bute feels he messed up the fight by trying to go toe-to-toe with Froch. He must have stayed up watching Rocky the night before.
Now that is being gracious in defeat. Well done Lucian. Don't let those fanatics make excuses and tarnish your rep.
That's kind of the attitude Sarkozy had when he lost the elections against Hollande. Can't do nothing but respect. :hat
Yes, he said himself today, when talking how hurt he was by the accusations of a fixed fight that he was "a sensitive person". :conf
Lucian Bute is a class act. The moment Vladimir23 abandoned the ****ing battleship like the fair weathered slut that Vladimir23 is I got on. If only American boxers were more like European ones, the world of boxing will be a classier place.
