    I know this guy is crazy!

    He doesn't even deserve to fight the SS winner.

    What he needs to do is fight Cloud, Hopkins, Dawson, Kessler, Abraham, Dirrel, or Pavlik.

    Someone like that. He needs to be calling these guys out.

    He's busy fighting "The Contender" reality series contestants lol

      Glen Johnson doesnt deserve more than 350k imo. He is just a durable journeyman. Do people think boxers make that much cash? There is very few boxers who can make over $1m a fight.

      but nah, Glen Johnson can bring 30,000 people to an arena and sell the place out right? oh wait......

      I think people sometimes dont know that Boxing is a business, promoters have to make their money back.

      Bute fee + johnson fee + arena lease + security staff + event staff + overhead expenses + regular expenses + Promoter Staff Salaries + profit off event to use for future events.

      This is why you need people who can bring in big crowd so they will fill the place up and buy a ton of alcohol since they make more money off the booze than the tickets.

        Why is Bute making over a million for his fights? Who did he beat? He is nothing more then a Sven Ottke clone. Glen Johnson took the hard rode fighting the best, and sometimes coming up short. But unlike Johnson, Bute doesn't take those type of risks.

          Johnson shouldn't be be an opponent for Bite after a wide-margin loss vs Ward...he doesn't deserve big $$ and probably shouldn't be more than ranked #10...fighting on his name and past wins, not the present...

            Johnson never lost to Ward, he lost a close one against Froch.

              I thought about responding to you. I typed up a nice long rebuttal for you then thought about it. It's just not worth it.

              Put shortly...... NO..... Bute = FAIL.

              I'm kinda upset with Bute. I might have to see him in the street myself

                Everything you said is horse*t meant to cover up the fact that you will support Bute because of his Eastern European blood no matter what he does.

                Fact of the matter is they didn't even offer Johnson 350K, which Johnson might have taken. Instead they offered him "significantly more than a million less" which means they offered the guy 150-200K which is a goddamn joke considering the gate that Bute will draw will be the same as if he fought Pavlik and Showtime would pitch in just as much money for either fight.

                You Euro nuthuggers are just as bad as the David Haye fans.

                  Maybe Bute can fight Peter Manfredo.

                    I am almost positive that fight has been considered in the past couple years.

                      i've followed bute, and even though his opposition is questionable that dude is a great ****ing boxer. he's always working on new weapons and using them effectively in his fights.

                      I'd LOVE to see him vs. Johnson. That would be a good fight. Bute is a notorious slow starter and Johnson can ****. make it happen!!
