Re: Ward Emertius Champ, Bika-Sjeloka For WBC Title, Bute for winner
It is designed to get Ward against Bute but it'#s also designed to give the title to Bute who sells lots of tickets and makes lots of TV money. That means bigger sanctioning fees for the WBC. It looks like neither Bute nor Kessler want a rematch with Froch anytime soon.

Let's not get down on Bute for wanting to wait to fight Froch again. Don't forget he went to Froch's hometown, Nottingham, to fight Froch, and he got hammered.
I hope Bute fights Froch again, as opposed to fighting Bika. That's ridiculous. If he goes back to fighting B-rated guys, what's the point? He's done that already. A fight with Pavlik before a fight with Froch would make sense to me from a financial perspective, but fighting Bika for a BS belt, doesn't.

If this is confirmed then Bute has officially chickened out of a Froch fight. He should be a man about it and say I was royally battered by Froch so badly that I need to grow back my balls. In that time I am hoping Froch loses, retires or dies.

I do agree with this, but maybe Bute' confidence is really Low and he needs more b-rated fighters to rebuild his confidence. Is probably the wisest option if Bute is looking to prolong his career, because if he fights Ward or Froch again I think he will lose.
I hate to admit, but I do agree with you, even if it means Bute becomes irrelevant.

Pavlik is a name, so that's a viable fight for Bute. Bika will have a belt, so that's a viable fight to. Both fights make lots of money and extend Bute's career by two big paydays. Bute can fight Froch next, lose again and it's difficult to come back or make any more big paydays. This way Bute gets two big paydays at least before he takes another big risk Froch/Ward fight.

eh eh!!!
There aren't any champions anymore, just a bunch of guys waving £20 weightlifting belts with big gay buckles on them that they pay to rent from sanctioning bodies.
