Why isn't Bute fighting Pascal?

[street bully]

Bute will not take a risk at this point in time. In fact he has a history of avoiding the best.

I agree with you. His best wins are Mirando who lost to everybody and their mothers, and Andrate who HE DID lose to once by knockout nonetheless.

bute is going on vaction with floyd and haye

leave him alone

[street bully]

Pascal is the one who even said he doesnt want the fight, said he is the boss in town and will make his own choice


Pascal wants to $$$ fight instead of Bute

This isn't 2005. Hopkins does not bring more money than would an all montreal showdown between the two at this point. Remember both these guys were dirt poor a few years ago and grew up in poor countries. They would make around 5 plus million each man.

why is there no respect for weight classes any more?

when hatton moved to 147, everybody said he was not a welterweight even tho he had 40 fights at 140.

but bute is EXPECTED to move up to fight a big strong lhw.

How hard is it to realize...


Pascal said Bute is NOT callin the shots, Pascal said that he is the boss in town...take it for what its worth son

[SplitSecond]

Hmm....fight a boxing legend or fight an upcoming prodigy...

Hatton already won a title at 147 before he fought the Pretty Boy

and everybody said that it was unfair for floyd to fight him at 147. right?

angulo just turned down 750k plus a gauranteed hbo date to move up to fight a guy the same size as him.

martinez and angulo were both 166 on fight night in their last fights.
