Comments Thread For: Team Glen Johnson Rip Into Team Bute Over Low Offer

[MARKBNLV]

Less then 350 k is bullsht,Glen brings a lot to that fight, former fighter of the year, and lineal lhw champ,when will he get some respect,when Glen comes to fight you know your getting your moneys worth there is no quit in the man.

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.

Journey man are you kidding,fighter of the year,lineal lhw champion,with wins over certified hall of famers,which i believe he is myself.

Another fighter dodging Bute.

You are old, past your prime, lost to every decent fighter you faced, take that money. off course they won't offer you more than 1 million. Smh.

this statement shows why they fight shoulda never been offered in the first place? Why is Bute still "offering" fights to guys like this?? he should be trying to find better opposition. but i don't think this would be a walk in the park for But ... Glen would give him fits

lmao, look at all the bute defenders. this guy is a punk.

[Forza]

johnson is a punk for thinking he;s worth more than 350k at his age plus losing his last 2

Glen Johnson has a name, and is a very competitive fight. My vote goes for it being a lowball offer. Pavlik hasn't been active lately, and he was offered 1.35 mil.

Johnson has headlined a few HBO shows, and was at one time (as has been pointed out in this thread) the lineal LHW champ.

The losses on his record do kind of effect his marketability, but 350K or less is way too low.

damn, and I thought bute and johnson were buddies

[mshap]

no way Johnson beats Bute -- Johnson should angle for some more money and he should get it -- there is no reason why Bute wouldn't fight him whatever the money arrangement -- would be a very low-risk, high reward fight for Bute

this is what he does, he shows interest in fighting top guys but then he throws them a offer HE KNOWS they are NOT going to accept, then he goes and fight another BUM then he tells the media that "THIS OR THAT FIGHTER TURNED THE FIGHT DOWN"

he will find a way to get out of fighting the Super 6 Winner I am sure, he is the ULTIMATE CHERRY PICKER in boxing today

I don't think he deserves the SS winner yet.

Think about it. All he did was sit in the background while these guys beat up on each other.

He needs to fight Kessler, Dirrel, Abraham, and Pavlik.

Then, depending on how he does, get the SS winner.

But he definitely should stop fighting "The Contender" reality series contestants. I mean Brinkley and Bika so far. Who's next Alphonzo Gomez?
