Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Stevens Deal Reached For November 2nd

[richardt]

There isn't a single person here who thinks if they can get 300K they are just going to take 150K. He negotiated and won. But all that ducking talk just like Donaire was afraid of Rigo and Garcia was afraid of Matthysee crap gets old. I cant count how many thousands of posts are written about a guy who is supposedly ducking another guy and then signs. There are some legit ducks but damn, wait a few damn weeks before going on USELESS rants about ducking next time! I mean, Stevens opponent barely hit the floor and some of you were saying he was ducking GGG...what the ***???

[richardt]

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

A lot of guys were saying Stevens was talking a bunch of crap and wouldn't take the fight. Stevens opponent was barely awake from the KO punch by the time people were ranting on Stevens for ducking GGG. Now I'm not high on Stevens but I give him a 1 in 3 chance to win cause we don't know what will happen if GGG gets hit flush with a huge punch. He may not, and may box or decide to jump on Stevens cause he has more options in the fight but the danger is clearly there. I don't think anyone would bet there house or car to someone else's 50 bucks that GGG wins. No one is that confident because anything happens in Boxing. His near namesake Stevenson can attest to what happens when you clip a huge favorite on the chin. Dawson knows. But I am all for pitched battles and KO's and there is no way this one goes the distance so I'll take that over a snoozer any day. THATS why I want this fight - BOMBS AWAY!!!!! Fun while it lasts!!!!

So did Stevens get his purse increased from 300k? Or was the drama and trash-talking just to hype the match-up?

Golovkin will add a new clip to his highlight reel...hopefully Curtis doesn't take a beating like he did against Brinkley...

Might have to get tix to this

Whether Stevens got more money or not doesn't matter. We don't know what the hold up was until we are told. There are many factors that go into negotiations. Many.

Will laugh if GGG gets put to sleep,,

just saying

At least the fight is signed and sealed, thank goodness. I wonder what the
co-main will be.
