Comments Thread For: Photos: Lucian Bute in Beast Mode as Pascal Bout Nears

[MDPopescu]

Bute jumped to HBO at the last minute to avoid super six, he wouldve gotten creamed by Arthur Abraham so imagine Ward who beat Froch with a broken hand. Being a belt holder he was in line for Super Six and Showtime exec was grooming Bute to be a part by broadcasting his fites. For the record Ward has never ducked Bute. His team were yelling duck to Ward yet when he showed interest they signed a two fight deal with Froch???? Bute has never fought any legit opponent just look at his title defenses. He made cup cake defenses while "real" fiters were fiting each other in super 6. Froch fight was no bad night it was reality.

He packs a house big deal, it has no correlation with the level of opposition you fite its good promotion.

You either didn't follow the actual events, or you willingly disinform people around about the Super Six and Showtime. Actually, Showtime paid Bute $2 mln per fight only to fight the Super Six winner next. But, immediately after the Super Six was over, Ken Hershman left Showtime for HBO Sports (and took Ward with him). And so on...
