    Showtime = Americans = Their fault since the beginning of this tournament.


    They put Jermain Taylor instead of BUTE


    Their Fault if there is nobody for Bute in the last 2 years

    I heard Bute priced himself out?

    Don't know how true that is.

    I don't think it was any anti-Bute conspiracy. The guy just wasn't proven ennough at the time (but was probably close), and showtime probably didn't wanted to risk it on a non-bluechip boxer.

    Although 3 Americans there probably is due to nationalism appeal.

    Bute had signed to HBO when they started the Super 6 I believe.

    Ken Hershman, executive vice president of Showtime Sports, said they excluded Lucian Bute and Kelly Pavlik because including them would cost to much.

    Plus, Bute had signed to HBO. That's why they never considered him in the tournament. Plus, they wanted three Americans and three Europeans. That's why they did the first round like they did. It's all about the money.

    I wanted to reply to this post, but I realized by you grammar you probably don't know how to read yet, and cut you some slack. Good chance you are just repeating stuff you overheard at your school.

    It's Bute's fault.

    If I had a dime for every time a company didn't want to hire me, I'd be a billionaire.
