Yeah can't really complain considering Barker isn't going to fight GGG in November, Murray is out, Quillin is on Showtime and Martinez is out.

Stevens got some hype with that KO and his trash talking so good for him getting a big payday - right time right place.

good for stevens for successfully talking himself up to a underseved payday...too bad he'll get ktfo.

Stevens is going to feel a lot of pain.

Good for Stevens getting himself a big payday, an HBO date and a great opportunity.

GGG in four.

Stevens is going to feel a lot of pain.

Not when he cashes the check.

With 300k, HBO could buy a couple good lower weight class fights. Such a waste of money.

I agree, they're hugely overpaying Stevens and most GGG opponents. But at the same time they're getting a steal with GGG, so it balances out.

What are the chances GGG is taking a paycut to make these fights happen? The Macklin split is very unusual: when does the B-side mid level contender get 6/7 of the undefeated champ's purse?

It is kind of funny reading what some people post.

Pre-signing: Stevens is a coward and a ***** who is duckkng GGG.

Post-signing (and confounding all the naysayers): Stevens is a bum that doesn't deserve the fight and will only last two rounds.

Easier to rant the latter than just admit you were bit hasty, eh?

You can't blame them when they were saying 300k was not gonna do it. When a guy in his position is that loud in his callouts, he takes 150k when offered

what are they gonna say when golovkin is laying face down on the canvas? lol oh it was a fluke and a lucky punch. stevens should take some pages from mike tysons fighting style it would suit him best due to his lack of height and reach.
