Somebody justify a 300k payday for Stevens

[snoopymiller]

$300,000 is hardly a lot for a main event fighter on HBO.

Any lower and we're talking UFC territory :blow:

Dude makes like 20k a fight on NBC. Besides being from Brooklyn, is there any other reason to get paid more than 10 times his worth?
Only other reason is K2 was bluffing and they really don't have any viable opponents.

Only justifiable reason I can think of is they need money for the health care and the funeral

New york fighter who can attract fans and sell the fight coming off a huge ko win in a local venue.

An english premier league footballer can get paid as much as £250,000.00 a week!! I think someone who entertains us with their health at risk, trains for over 6 weeks, deserves it more than someone who kicks a bag of wind around, don't you think? Just think he may not get another payday, so I say good for him if he can get a million go for it.

football a much bigger sport than boxing?

Golovkin's only getting paid 350k
Stevens has paid no dues and only makes like 20k a fight.
60/40 for this?

[Beecher]

Its so criminal Stevens should be sent to OZ.

He's marketable in the area of where the fight is being held, while Golovkin and the promotors will get what they want, which is a proffit and exposure.

It's a win-win for everyone. Stevens might as well get paid well for the absolute annihilation he's in store for.
