By the way, I'm told Showtime's number on the table for the Bute fights is about $2 million per fight.
Nicely done Showtime
Have 168 & 175 pretty much on lock
Super Six fighters (even the "injured" ones), Hopkins, Pascal
Pavlik can kiss his biggest pay day out there good bye! |

| Nice, Showtime are making HBO look like amateurs at the moment.
I was wondering why they gave Bute love on fight camp 360, obviously this was the reason. |

| we're going to have an undisputed. and then loadsa exciting matches afterwards. Froch vs Abraham is going to be an absolute war and hopefully will keep the public interested. Bika vs Ward and Green vs Johnson are also very interesting match-ups and should be entertaining. i think what Showtime have done is very clever and they deserve credit for installing faith in the sport |

not buying the eye injury |

| I can't see Kessler faking an eye injury when he had that easy payday against Green, the man is a warrior. |

| Yeah Showtime obviously bought him so he can face their Super Six Champion. The mean while, the'll make him fight the guy who dont move on in the playoff. Winner of Green-Johnson. Maybe Dirrell and Kessler. |

| I think Showtime made an extremely intelligent move here. Bute's 3rd fight under contract could be against the Super 6 champ. The timing works out very well. That fight will be huge. |

| Thank you. I did all the stunts myself. My skills have eroded quite a bit since I played consistently. |

| Six defenses and two million per fight. Seems fair, Im sure he'll get a piece of the gate as well. How much does Berto get again? |
