The fight with Andrade was already programmed before they did announce the tournament, hence why Lucian couldn't compete. Now they talk a fight with Pavlik which, would he win, would cement his reputation and his "shining" in the US. As the tournament is good for at least another year, expect Bute, once the fight with Pavlik is over, to step in against Froch, especially as he (Froch) did beat another popular boxer in Quebec which is Jean Pascal. That is a 22000 seaters sold within an hour here, believe me. I wouldn't be surprised if Bute would then fight Jean Pascal in Quebec too as it would be HUGE over here, of course, if both of them win in the meantime.
