Matthew Macklin told my friend he's fighting at MSG in Nov

Macklin vs Stvens, Stevens dies in the ring and is made to look like a fool. Nahhh... Stevens going to have a cupcake fight

Probably stevens

hmmmm. that had to of been one of NBC's first events tho, u think there budget may have gotten bigger since? not sure if TV networks work like that Well yea, it's been a while.... a year and some change. With that being said though, I doubt it got big enough where he was making more than 50k. Even Rosado wasn't making much. He fought Whittaker last year in September and the purse bid was like 20k or something, maybe less. We all know where the majority of the money goes to though... Adamek controls that because he's the biggest selling attraction on there. Next is probably Jennings.... then probably Stevens. I don't think Kovalev gets paid more than him.

Yea, and Paris was entitled to 40% of the purse, so he got about 28k. hmmmm. that had to of been one of NBC's first events tho, u think there budget may have gotten bigger since? not sure if TV networks work like that

I just hope Matthew can get back on track and win a few more fights. He is probably done at the top level after the GGG fight. Dat body shot was brutal...

Dibella also has Avtandil Khurtsidze, who would make a great fight with Macklin. Khurtsidze would have 2 years of inactivity by November though. Don't know what happened to him. There's also Sergio Mora if he doesn't get the Golovkin fight. I have a feeling he's saving him for Martinez or Golovkin... but HBO doesn't like him either way. Waiting for Mora to come back, had that nice win against Proksa

exactly. what Judah fight was that, Vernon paris? Yea, and Paris was entitled to 40% of the purse, so he got about 28k.

Lou/Gary Shaw stable have 3 guys free right now for him Jermain Taylor Jonathan "Mantequilla" Gonzalez Donovan "Da Bomb" George zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Judah's purse bid on NBC was 71k..... the only person I can see making more is Adamek. NBC can say all they want but I know they're not paying him more than Judah or Adamek. He could fight Rosado on Showtime, but he evidently wants Chocolate, and good luck getting paid as much as GGG's camp offered. exactly. what Judah fight was that, Vernon paris?

Can't challenge for the belt either because he's not in the top 15

Middleweight division stinks right now. For Macklin to still be revelant and be on HBO again is a waste of time. HBO will put Macklin on TV but not Rigo?????

Macklin will be back.... he'll look great too. Watch him get another first round KO.

duva and stevens will eventually fold. K2 is a smart promotion, they know their the champ. they don't have to agree to what stevens wants. If they don't accept around the 300k mark, good luck finding anything close somewhere else. NBC cant be paying him more than 75k, he cant fight on showtime, and HBO wont pay him big $$$ for a fight with some1 other than GGG Judah's purse bid on NBC was 71k..... the only person I can see making more is Adamek.

My only concern is they're going to ask for a crap ton of money because now they think they're the hottest thing on the block. He'll still get paid more than he would on NBC, but way less than if he was headlining the November card duva and stevens will eventually fold.

He can alway rematch GGG in November. Doubt it, nothing warranting a rematch yet after that destruction

He can alway rematch GGG in November.

oh yea no doubt about that. its a great opportunity for stevens, that's why believe he'd KO macklin. they just need to find a reasonable opponent for GGG to top off the card My only concern is they're going to ask for a crap ton of money because now they think they're the hottest thing on the block.

Macklin should just come back to the UK and have a UK tornuament with the UK MW's. He's not good enough to beat the Top MW's. If Barker beats Geale, he should bring it back to the UK. Even if he loses, that would still be a nice set up for the tornuament.
