Curtis Stevens intention was never to fight Golovkin, just piggyback off his name

[Boxing Goat]

Its apparent Curtis Stevens goal was to piggy back off Golovkins name but not actually fight him, trying to get the image of a ducked fighter or avoided fighter, but this time Golovkin accepted the challenge and he backed out, his plan backfired, a lot of these type of boxers have made a name calling out name fighters but never getting the fight so they could claim that so and so ducked them.

Stevens = fail

and him showing that money is embarrassing, 300k for a no name is huge, even bigger name guys only get 400k to fight on hbo, this guy is a no name and his biggest purse was probably 20k.

Has it been reported that he has declined the fight?

No, but him and his management have said they deserve more money

No, but him and his management have said they deserve more money

Well if I was a fighter, they would have to give me more than 300k to get knocked out cold by tripple G too. JK, that is more than fair for a fighter who has probably not made more than 40k in a fight before and has no fan base at all.

So you think it's fair too?
Wow, let's pay Stevens more than Macklin and GGG to get knocked out.
Maybe if he just gets up and says he wants more money because he knows he'll get knocked out, they'll throw him a bone and make him dance for it

[FrankieClutch]

Same thing I'm thinking. GGG called that bluff real quick lol

It's really fair in my opinion based on his stature and relevance.

Sure, he may get clobbered and is coming off of a great KO win but he doesn't get superstar money just based on that only. GGG barely started getting that kind of money recently for crying out loud.

That being said, without a miracle, Gennady will upened this guy rather quickly due to technical deficiencies.

Wait, so GGG just started getting this type of money and Stevens should just out of nowhere get the same because he's going to get beat badly for doing it?
And you're talking about Steven's Stature and Relevance?

[Russian Crushin]

something is wrong with saying both guys deserve more money for the fight?some people just love to have a problem with anything

You're only worth as much as someone is willing to pay you. How does he "deserve more"? Nobody is going to pay him anyway close to that amount

Chocolate will probably offer him 1/3 of that with Showtime

Oh, I see what you are saying now. I misread it. I thought that was an official HBO offer to Stevens. I say it's worth about 100-150k to Stevens but I was saying that he should be over the moon excited if he actually got an offer for 300k.
