The business product IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute is rarely exported. He has only participated in a few fights outside of Montreal but Bute doesn’t have to venture out to make millions. He has established a following in Canada. A minimum of 12,000 attended the fight at the Belle Center to see the main event Bute vs. Jesse Brinkley.
