I was just answering to somebody who was saying that Bute was making more money , Calm the **** down or log off! man you started trolling Bute thread to **** peoples and it work with some posters but now you're the one losing it! stop putting everybody in the same basket. I will do a lifetime bet with you that Ward won't face Kessler in is next fight!
how about Andrade ( he wasn't someone at that time in the rankings ?? ) or Johnson or Bika or his next opponent : Carl Froch !
Showtime know that the Bute/Ward fight (if both keep there belts ) will probably end on HBO , that's why they won't pay for Bute to fight Froch and try to make the fight on there networks
I think this could be the real issue that SHO don't want Bute-Froch fight. Bute has only one fight left in the contract, so SHO keeps pressure him .:yep
Ibox have a good relationship with Hersman and it probably weight a lot. I can't see any other reasons why somebody wouldn't want a Bute-froch fight!
Super6 was made by americans for americans; it would've been a disaster if they has an european final;Showtime wants Bute-Dirrell to create a new american superstar because they most likely will lose Ward. don't delude yourself believing Showtime signed Bute not hoping Ward will beat him; with that fight being postponed Showtime fears Bute might lose to Froch and endanger a superfight like Ward-Bute. Interbox should sign for an extra fight and ask Showtime for a smaller investment for Froch-Bute in England. It should be enough for them getting a rematch in Canada only in case Bute loses in England
Badlok do you think that after Bute will win against Froch in both fights , he should take Hopkins next for to get known in the states ( for the market ) ?? Hopkins is a known name in usa , so for Bute it would be a great access "door" to the american market. Also I have a feeling that Ward will still ducking Bute even after he ( Bute ) will win fair and square against Froch , & asking him more "fights to prove himself " .
I think they must be negotiating with Show right now. The delay in the contract and the NOGO to a May date is likely because Showtime has expressed interest if both parties sign on for another fight against other Showtime fighters. For example... Should Bute win and Froch lose, Bute could fight Ward or a Dirrel while Froch would be obligated to rematch Dre on their terms. Should Froch win he would rematch Ward while Bute would be obligated to fight a Dirrel on their terms.:think
nobody gives a crap about Hopkins,in the states or any other place.if Bute fights Hopkins the us press will destroy him,fighting a 47 years old after just beating an 43 years old.in fact,americans beeing so idiots,i wouldn't be surprised if he will be convicted to jail in states like Georgia or Louisiana for beating elder us citizens.
I think that after one bute-Froch fight we won't need a second one and if it take 2 fights Bute won't get a lot of credits to face Old-B ! If they fight it won't be at 175lbs , maybe catch-weight ? I don't see many american boxer who can make Bute be kwon in the state at 168lbs
Hopkins is a great talent and a masterful fighter. He's an ageless wonder, in the sport in which age most often decides a fighter's future. Most fighters are past it at 35, while BHOP is better now, than when he was 35. What are the odds. But yeah, whichever up n coming superstar fights him will be the guy who put the last nail in his coffin. He will become a bum overnight if he's beaten by a white fighter, but should a black american beat him, it will be a torch passing ceremony.:rofl
:rofl:rofl ...... I said after he ( Bute ) beats Froch fair and square and then goes for a fight against Hopkins for "market exposure" in the states. Hopkins is old , thats true , but he's the LHW champ and if he will succeed to beat Dawson convincingly in the rematch then it could be a good compeetitive choice for Bute !
Bute just gave his OK to Bedard to fight Froch in England. Lucian Bute @InterBoxBute Leaving for training camp today. Just told @jeanbedardcage I am ready to fight @Carl_Froch, even in England. Let`s get this done!
