Nobody outside of Montreal gives two shits about Pascal or Bute. I'm a Canadian and I was cheering for Froch - I've been a fan of his for a long time.

Boxing is pretty much entirely dead outside of Quebec anyways, I don't think I've even met another Canadian boxing fan in real life. MMA is huge here though.

I was going to post the exact same thing, I've never met anyone with more than a passing interest in boxing really. I was in Montreal last year when Bute was going to fight Jesse Brinkley -of all no hopers- and saw posters up all over the city, adds on TV etc, I even heard a couple of people mention Bute in the street passing by. This was during the NHL playoffs and all, so it absolutely is a big deal there. Any idea what the last signifigant boxing match that took place in Canada outside of Quebec even was You'd probably have to go back to Chuvalo fighting in Toronto or something, it's just not a big deal here and there are no real Canadian born fighters worth a damn that I can think of. Same is true of MMA really; although its popular all over, the only really good fighters I can think of are out of Quebec, no?
