I smell BS. Surely Showtime would want Bute to fight an elite fighter.

Looks like they are going to try and force Ward/Bute.

Could be. They might be afraid that Ward is going with Ken Hershman to HBO. The excuse about wanting an american is garbage though.

Yeah that's crap. Now we get to hear and debate about where the fight is going to take place for the next two weeks.

They reject it for Ward/Bute so I dont mind.

Great, Ward v Bute wont happen so we'll get Bute v Don George (highest ranked IBF American SMW), Ward v the **** Dirrel borther, and Froch v a tincan in Nottingham instead of a guaranteed cracking fight in Bute v Froch

Only the best gets Showtime. Jimmy Lennon Jr is the best.

Two thumbs up

Dirrell is a puzzy he'll never fight Bute or Ward. Dirrell should just go back to being retired

Showtime makes their money on the US market, and that's not where the Bute and Froch fans are.
