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

[mathed]

I read this line over and over again and still don't understand what it's saying.

.........1.35 million - 1.00 million = 0.35 million or 350,000 for the fight. But they offered him less than that apparently, maybe 250,000.

Johnson is coming off a loss.

The Super Six winner was slated to fight Bute.

Now Johnson gets the opportunity and he bails? What are you thinking Glenn? Take the fight, if you win, you get big money in a re-match with Froch.

It's a title fight for a belt if old Glen wants a title- fight for nothing. If Old Glen wants a paycheck which he does at 50 yrs then you ain't getting it. Glen loses every big fight anyway he is a loss waiting to happen.

My take on Bute, he seems to have extreme talent but has of yet proven himself against anyone credible in the division. Johnson is I believe a great yard stick for all in the smw.

In my opinion Bute does not deserve the winner of the super six, or the loser for that matter. Anyway, both Froch and Ward have both come on record saying Bute will not be next for either guy. Froch is going to have a home fight (rightly so) to satisfy his English and Nottingham supporters, and we all know Bute will not be travelling there. Ward has said he will be taking a couple of easy fights after the gruelling super six.

If Bute takes care in spectacular fashion a decent, well known, respect and credible boxer or even mans up and gets a w, then he deserves to be mentions at the top elite level, until this happens, for me, he is at the level of Allen Green.

Well, what has Pavlik achieved or done lately to deserve 5x the amount Johnson got offered? I don't think his fan base is that much more?

What i dislike about Bute and his management team ,is the fact that these guys would pay handsomely for Pavlik to take a beating and make Bute look good, yet low ball Johnson who is a far more credible and dangerous opponent.

I don’t like calling time on anybodies career, but for me, Pavlik is done as a world title contender. Coming of dreadful losses and a lacklustre performance having alcoholism and very public issues, He knew that Toprank was feeding him to Bute to cash out, pretty dreadful really
