Somebody justify a 300k payday for Stevens

[US Dirk Killer]

Hope 400k is enough to cover his health bill

[Frank Ducketts]

Dont say its to much money because its still a hbo main event,imo 300k isnt enough money to fight a boxer puncher like GGG , this guy stuns and cuts guys with his jab, i wouldnt fight him for 500k.

Btw i rather take 100k and fight quillin than 500k to fight ggg thats how much better he is from the rest of middleweights right now.

Damn, I'm tired of reading posts like this bigging up GG, lmao. Fighters think the total opposite of how you feel. Just know that.

Curtis Stevens knows how to hustle foreigners.

Anytime a man risks his life and health to step in the boxing ring, he deserves to be paid well. He will get paid whatever they pay him and the promoter will still make a significant profit.

I wouldn't be surprised if Stevens KO's Golovkin, not because Stevens is that good, but because Golovin is highly overated by those, like you and the suits at HBO, who cater to the caveman style of fighting -- standing in the middle of the ring and clubbing each other until one man gets knocked out.

this guy. Do you even know what you're watching? When have you last seen GGG brawl? Probably Ouma, way before he got on HBO. Have fun rewatching Floyd Guerrero next time a GGG fight comes on.

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

Actually Stevens gets between $45-60 K per NBC fight. Each card is guaranteed in 3 tv fights to have $150-250 k in tv $$ for fights.

Adamek gets the most at 100k per fight.Jennings gets 50 k.Kovalev got 40 k.

I would actually love to see a source on this.
I don't expect them to be paid much and Adamek will always get a lion's share of the money. If he's turning down all these 6 figure offers, Duva must be doing something to keep him happy

[Ratchet]

He signed the contract. That's the only real "deserving" he needs to do. Is he supposed to under-price himself because he's used to being paid much less? Hell, milk it for all it's worth. Not like anyone is really giving him a chance to win. Might as well get as much money as possible.

What are you to judge what's too much?

When's the last time you sparred?

Why, how much does Stevens make sparring?

Here's how you can start reasoning it: undefeated A-side champ GGG just made 350k in his last fight, as did undefeated champ, #1 American Quillin. If you're bringing 3 losses (2 really bad ones, and 1 unwatchable), and 0 top ten wins in any division, you should be happy with 10k on FNF. But props to him for milking his retirement wage

Let him feed his family.
