Comments Thread For: Bute: I Respect DeGale, But I've Never Lost in Quebec!

There's more money in the fight in Canada I would assume. Bute is a big ticket seller there.

So, the Brit olympic gold medalist can't sell in UK the same with a shot Bute in Canada? Not even for his first title defence? Strage...

I rather think that Haymon is making all the calls. I don't see why DeGale couldn't sell the O2 arena at his first defence in the UK. I just don't see why.

He probably could but Bute is a sure thing in Canada.

War Bute

Good move, I really don't think De Gale would sell out 18000 at the 02 against a nobody. He needs a Groves type rival to sell a fight, no one cares about him in the UK, he's not likable enough

The tide was definitely beginning to turn on that front. Lots of people are jumping on the bandwagon now.

Neither has Degale.

The Brits only know Bute as Froch roadkill.

The Canadians have forgotten already.
