Allan Green vs Sakio Bika Rumored For Quebec

Take 2
According to several outlets in Canada, members of Sakio Bika's team are telling reporters that Bika has a good chance to enter Showtime's Super Six Boxing Classic against Allan Green. The outlets are reporting that Bika-Green could take place in Quebec. If that's true, there would have to be some extra money being exchanged because Green's Super Six contract calls for his next fight to take place in the United States.
After Mikkel Kessler withdrew from the Super Six with an eye injury, Showtime's initial plan was to drop Green, who didn't have any points, and push Arthur Abraham-Carl Froch and Andre Ward-Andre Dirrell into the semi-finals.
At some point, Showtime changed their course of direction and made a decision to let the third stage of the tournament play out, and to secure a replacement for Kessler.
Green and Bika were scheduled to fight earlier this year in a Super Six box-off. The winner was going to replace Jermain Taylor in the tournament. Showtime thought Bika-Green was a done deal - until Bika lashed out in the press about the money being offered and how he never signed a contract or accepted the fight. At the time, Showtime turned away from Bika and put Green in the tourney.

Good stuff, i hope it comes through for him. I thought the original fight fell through because Sakio's visa application wasnt proccessed in time to make the fight happen? The only time i recall Bika "lashing out" in the media was when he didnt recieve an invitation to the tourny in the first place.
Wouldnt it be something if he went on to win it from here

I read in the CS something about Glen Johnson dropping to 168(which i doubt he can make) and replacing Kessler.
Would love to see Bika in there with Green.

How can he win the tourney, when he's only having 1 fight?
Edit; someone explained in CS, if Bika was to KO Green which i think he would, and Froch and Dirrell lose in there fights, that Bika would make the semis.
Johnson's name is heavily mentioned, why i don't know, but apparently at 41 he can still make 168, and he hasn't fought there for a while...like 10 years, oh well, the neglect of Bika looks like it will continue.

If it happens, Bika will only replace Kessler for just that fight against Allan Green.

Apparently Bika turned down the fight because his father died, and he would not have enough time for a proper training camp.
