Comments Thread For: Hearn: Showtime Has Rejected Bute vs. Froch Showdown

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Damn! Why'd they do that? They should have let these 2 fight. I'd like to see Bute vs Dirrell in that case. Don't think Bute should be fighting the winner of the Super 6 having sat out the tournament - that makes it seem like the tournament was basically a long hard road of battles to reach Bute as if he is something special.

All roads lead to Lucian Bute, apparently.

I hope Bute fights a bum on Showtime to end his contract then fights
Froch with whichever broadcaster will show it. **** it, they'll sell 40,000 seats between the two fights so let the TV companies take it or leave it.

Froch is under contract with Showtime.

100% inaccurate.

This makes no sense.....Dirrell fought some scrub on Showtime and they showed have shown plenty of Bute-bum fights.

It does make sense. That was under the old Showtime regime. The new guy probably doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes, so he doesn't want to keep showing Froch, who has now lost two of his last four.
