What`s more important:to be on HBO and continue win or be in Super 6?

Bute knocking on PPV's door?

He has no market in the US. Chad Dawson can't dream of PPV, what makes you think Bute can?

With the Super Six, each fighter is guaranteed 3 nice purses, a fourth if they make the semis and a fifth if they make the final.

Bute doesn't have a contract with HBO. If his next fight isn't against the likes of Dawson, maybe Hopkins, or another guy with some credibility, his next fight may not be on HBO, either.

 

It is prematured to talk of PPV in Bute's career. He's doing what it takes, outboxing and knocking his opponents in a spectacular fashion but he's only known by the boxing community. I think he has a step in front of Dawson now, because the LHW is weak, because of the manner Dawson fights too. Nothing very spectacular happens in his fights.

Bute also has a bigger fanbase to push him but he still has penty of work in front of him.

 

You are wrong.

 

Whoever wins the tourney will be THE man at 168 wether bute still has a belt or not.

Thats what the tourney is about. Bute is a quality fighter but the only guys not in the super six are guys he should be beating anyway.

True he'll likely get a shot at however the tourney winner is but he'll be the minority in the negatiations.

and knocking on the door of PPV ?? In Canada maybe

 

Yes, you are wrong. Bute is a good boxer but Miranda is not as good as anyone in the super 6 (except Green the substitute), and neither are any of Bute's pevious opponants. Therefore a win against any of the super 6 is better. Surely the casual boxing fan can see this.

 

Being that Bute would get outclassed by over half of the participants of the Super Six, I would disagree.

 

I always thought fighting the best was more important but apparently I'm wrong. Fighting bums on HBO clearly is better then fighting the best on Showtime.

 

You are being generous I think that Green probably beats Miranda. But whomever wins the Super Six is in the drivers seat of the division unless Bute beats some serious competition like Dawson-Pascal Winner, Pavlik, Stieglitz, Cloud, or Sturm.

 

this

 

I see what you're saying but that means he could also be easily accused of feasting on the left overs form the two top guys in the tourney. beating guys that have already been disposed of.

he is kinda dammed if he does , dammed if he doesnt.

Its a shame he wasn't in the tourney , he is the missing link as it were.


If he wants to be able to negotiate on ( fairly ) even terms with the eventual winner he needs to find a bigger name to beat ( winner of pascal - dawson , that type of level ) or alternatively just keep fighting his mandos , wait for the tourney winner and then accept that he'll proabaly get the thin end of the deal.

 

Super 6, easy. Bute is good. But really, does beating Miranda mean much? Didn't Bute turn down the super 6? Bad move, I think.

 

AHah already PPV in Canada dude...
