Somebody justify a 300k payday for Stevens

Happens all the time in Vegas that's how they keep opening new casinos, it's a fool's paradise.

Betting is predicting the future. Nobody can predict the future. Only a fool would gamble thousands on a guess. Happens all the time in Vegas

How many thousands you and your family is going to bet on G by KO? Betting is predicting the future. Nobody can predict the future. Only a fool would gamble thousands on a guess.

Like I'm saying, there were better opponents out there for GGG. Golovkin took a step up with Macklin but is taking 10 steps back with the Stevens fight. It's just a way for HBO to get GGG another easy KO and keep feeding this aura of invincibility he's generating. Which better opponent outside Mora are we talking about here?

His fight would have hit over a million if he fought Mora or N'dam or Soliman Like I'm saying, there were better opponents out there for GGG.

It may be his last meaningful fight, Darren Barker who's an actual titleholder at middleweight wouldn't fight him for 300k. Curtis Stevens has a name to add to GGG's resume (kinda) Stevens > Ishida, Proska, Mora am i the only one that thinks that? You are the only one who thinks that LOL

This fight might very well hit over 1 rating and therefor he deserves it. How many thousands you and your family is going to bet on G by KO?

Your list is incomplete, it's missing GGG Macklin which did over 1m. At this point he's doing 1m no matter who the opponent is. Stevens might sell a couple of hundred extra tickets, that's about it. Hey the atmosphere counts. I don't bet on boxing, but GGG will be a massive favorite, so I'd stand to gain little. If you're a Stevens believer though, you may be able to buy a new car putting down 1k I can see him opening up in the -600 range...... any lower would surprise me

Why, how much does Stevens make sparring? Here's how you can start reasoning it: undefeated A-side champ GGG just made 350k in his last fight, as did undefeated champ, #1 American Quillin. If you're bringing 3 losses (2 really bad ones, and 1 unwatchable), and 0 top ten wins in any division, you should be happy with 10k on FNF. But props to him for milking his retirement wage This fight might very well hit over 1 rating and therefor he deserves it. How many thousands you and your family is going to bet on G by KO?

Let him feed his family. WTF do they eat? Lobster and Steak 3 times a day?

He signed the contract. That's the only real "deserving" he needs to do. Is he supposed to under-price himself because he's used to being paid much less? Hell, milk it for all it's worth. Not like anyone is really giving him a chance to win. Might as well get as much money as possible.

Actually Stevens gets between $45-60 K per NBC fight. Each card is guaranteed in 3 tv fights to have $150-250 k in tv $$ for fights. Adamek gets the most at 100k per fight.Jennings gets 50 k.Kovalev got 40 k. :boxing::boxing::boxing: I would actually love to see a source on this. I don't expect them to be paid much and Adamek will always get a lion's share of the money. If he's turning down all these 6 figure offers, Duva must be doing something to keep him happy

Dude makes like 20k a fight on NBC. Besides being from Brooklyn, is there any other reason to get paid more than 10 times his worth? Only other reason is K2 was bluffing and they really don't have any viable opponents. Only justifiable reason I can think of is they need money for the health care and the funeral Actually Stevens gets between $45-60 K per NBC fight.

Anytime a man risks his life and health to step in the boxing ring, he deserves to be paid well. He will get paid whatever they pay him and the promoter will still make a significant profit. I wouldn't be surprised if Stevens KO's Golovkin, not because Stevens is that good, but because Golovin is highly overated by those, like you and the suits at HBO, who cater to the caveman style of fighting -- standing in the middle of the ring and clubbing each other until one man gets knocked out. :pat: this guy. Do you even know what you're watching? When have you last seen GGG brawl? Probably Ouma, way before he got on HBO. Have fun rewatching Floyd Guerrero next time a GGG fight comes on.

Curtis Stevens knows how to hustle foreigners.
