sure bute got invited to super six but turned it down.

What a waste of talent. I like the way Bute fights and I think very highly of his ability. I just don't like to see careers mismanaged like this. If he thinks he's "there" because of the admiration of the Canadian crowd, he's wrong. He could be making gigantic paydays and earning historical significance with his power and skill. ...Dammit. Go for the glory, man.

He wasn't invited. Even Showtime had said it multiple times.

Only morons and haters still think he was invited. Choose the one which suits you the best.

Another stay busy fight for Bute who keeps getting fed those clubfighters he can look like a p4p'er against.

Interbox should have coughed up a little more dough so they could get a 'unification' with WBA 'regular' champ Sartison.
