Comments Thread For: Bute Not Impressed With Froch: I'll Fight Ward in NYC

[BattlingNelson]

Lowballed? A million+, and for a free shot at a belt? If Kessler was serious about the fight he'd have at least given a counter offer. But nope, fought Stigletz instead. Somehow people are cool with that

Make that 500k. I Think it was something close to a 70/30 split in Bute's favour. Jokish offer that tells you that interbox werent ready to send their Golden goose into a live opponent. Bute needs Ward/Froch/Kessler. Not the other way round.

Who told you that? Sauerland ? *rolls eyes* Again, no counter offer= he didn't want the fight regardless.

This is ******ed GTFO with this neutral shyt. Put the fight in Canada where the most people will see it

There's about 45 mn flight time between Montreal and New York. The canadians will come out in droves and there's also a big romanian community in NYC.

It was from an article on boxingscene.

Bute wasn't invited which Ken Hershman from Showtime who put the Super 6 together has stated multiple times. Keep spreading lies though.

When the Super-6 was first announced I distinctly remember reading that Bute and his team turned down the offer to participate. Of course Bute was offered the opportunity, he was a title-holder even back then.

I am not categorically stating that, but you would need to prove otherwise.

Either way, Ward has proven himself by walking the hard road, Bute has not.

But will Ward go to NYC?

Ward is outstanding and clearly the top man in the division, Bute for me is a no mark who has beat nobody of note. It seems to me that he is likely to get a big payday just for not having the balls to enter the super 6. Before the tournament started I thought everyman involved could beat Bute and i still think the same.

if I am not mistaken, the split was 70-30 bute with kessler keeping all danish tv rights

If he has no problem fighting in AC then why would he have a problem fighting in NYC?

They were never offered, Hershman stated at the press conference he wasn't invited. They wanted the American vs European angle. Bute was Canadan. Stop trying to pin everything as Bute's fault.
