Golden Boy wins purse bid for Bute-Andrade II

[The Hammer]

Golden Boy Promotions won the purse bid for Lucian Bute vs. Librado Andade II with a bid of $1.2 million, according to the news media in Montreal, Canada.

Some people are speculating the fight could be on the same Golden Boy PPV card as Mayweather vs. Marquez in September.

that would be good...just no marlon wright as referee!

Unless they're bringing the Mayweather/Marquez fight to the Bell Centre, I don't think it'll be on the undercard.

I don't think Bute cares too much about exposure, he's enjoying the status quo too much as it is.

No reason to put it on the Mayweather/Marquez undercard when they can sell out the bell center in Montreal. I would love for them to put it on the undercard though since I'm going to buy the PPV.

BTW can you post a link?

My original source was French-language so I didn't post it, but I just found another in English:

it can be in a different venue and the same PPV card surely. They do it all the time in the UK with a domestic card and a vegas card
