    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.
    K2 promotions were the ones that sent the 300k offer.

      Maybe team Stevens will realize he's not getting anymore money and accept the offer. Let's give it a couple weeks and see what happens.

        What happens if they really do stick to NBC?
        The least he can do if he turns the fight down is build his profile on HBO... but Main Events will probably keep him on NBC

          If Stevens thinks he deserves more and team GG doesn't offer it to him, thats not GG ducking Stevens. But team Stevens should take what the final offer is - or dream about the day they had a chance to fight for a title which may or may not come again. Stevens can be outboxed and GG would want to employ that strategy because standing and trading gives Stevens his only shot. But it would be a war. Mora can't outbox or overpower GG and Stevens has at least one angle to win from, even if it is a small one. Another guy with a similar last name had little to no chance according to guys on this site with Dawson and we saw how that went. Anything can happen in Boxing.

            Yea, in that position, a 300k offer is more than he's worth and he's nuts if he thinks he's getting more.

              We need to stop jumping to conclusions and acting like we are mind readers. Apparently Danny Garcia is still ducking Matthysse even though the fight is set.

                Those 2 situations would be more comparable if Danny Garcia had tweeted pictures of him with his belts with the words, "I have belts," and talked about not caring about fighting Matthysse.

                  Yes stevens piggybacked off the GGG name,,,

                  They kept bringing ggg's name up before and after his last fight,,,

                  And it worked to perfection,,,,, not many people knew who stevens was unless you were around for him and codrington as the heavy hitterz or whatever,,,,,,

                  I think stevens should take the money and the fight,, but i can see his team trying to make a bidding war between quillen and GGG since they are both in need of opponents..

                    I doubt they'd start a bidding war over him.
                    GGG still has Mora and Geale if he wins
