Good job EPIX. Definitely getting some good fights now and glad we get to see this one. Bute wins, he should fight Andre Ward. Froch wins, rematch Mikkel Kessler.

I don't understand Showtime moves at all. If this does go through, this will be pretty big for Epix IMO. And, look at Bute going to Froch backyard. After so many fans gave him flack. Again if this is true, good stuff all around.

I don't think he ever lacked confidence. Everybody wanted him to leave Canada. But, why should he have leave Canada if it isn't worth it since he is such a huge draw there?

Showtime has wasted millions on the super 6. Now they are not even following up the tournament.
