Curtis can always go back to NBC knocking out D level comp for 10k though

If Stevens doesn't want the money and feels like he can make that much elsewhere then fine. He probably shouldn't be calling GGG a duck though and saying he's avoiding him when he sent him a contract and he didn't sign it.
It's at MSG, that's as close to home turf as he can get

No way Stevens even deserves 300K. Macklin came off two competitive world championship fights and a KO over a proven contender. What has Stevens done? Team GGG sent in a genuine offer, and it's no coincidence the offer is actually out in the open. Stevens can't even say "I'll fight GGG but the money has to be right".
Fighters have to be careful calling out GGG. Five times a year is a lot of fights. With top names in no hurry to face GGG he might just choose to KO the latest loud mouth.

You might be interested in finding out that GGG is not promoted by K2. He has a co-promotional agreement with them. I think this is similar to the arrangement Mayweather has with Golden Boy. So no reason to worry about GGG's earnings.
