    I can't make this stuff up myself. I need help. :lol:

    "Although Pavlik facing Bute is the most likely scenario, Arum said British promoter Frank ******, a longtime friend of Arum's, called him to gauge the interest in a fall fight between Pavlik and James DeGale (10-1, 8 KOs), the 2008 Olympic gold medalist who suffered his first defeat via decision to rival George Groves in May.
    "Frank was in touch with me about doing the fight with DeGale, and we'd consider it, but the preference is for Kelly to fight Bute," Arum said."
    Dunkin said Pavlik is willing to go to England to face DeGale.

    "Bute is a bigger fight, but they're offering really good money for DeGale," Dunkin said. "It's something you gotta look at. Frank ****** thinks he can sell it, so it would have to be over there. Kelly and [his father and co-manager] Mike [Pavlik] said they were fine with it."

    I'd much rather see the Bute fight myself, lets hope for that.

    If they think DeGale could win this would be perfect for getting him back in the picture. A bit risky though because a loss would be a huge set back.

    The article does say that is the most likely. I'm surprised this one is even in serious discussions though.

    hahhah they still want to match degale with pavlik, they havent learned **** from the groves defeat and think they can take a easy route to a title, degale has obvious flaws that needs to be be handled asap, hire and new trainer and get lost of the ***** attitude at this point pavlik crushes this kids soul even worse then hopkins did his. Easy win

    Hmm.....can't say I saw that as an option. I wouldn't mind seeing Pavlik shut that guy's mouth.

    Who's Shirley, and what does she know about boxing? :huh:lol:
    I doubt this fight will happen, but probably should because Pavlik deosn't look ready for Bute.

    Frank cashing in his chips:yep

    He wants to recoup the signing on fee by getting DeGale in with a big established name & it's a seller, **** or bust:smoke

    Degale gives Pavlik more trouble than he's worth.
