Somebody justify a 300k payday for Stevens

[US Dirk Killer]

Let him feed his family.

WTF do they eat? Lobster and Steak 3 times a day?

[George Michael]

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

This fight might very well hit over 1 rating and therefor he deserves it.

How many thousands you and your family is going to bet on G by KO?

Your list is incomplete, it's missing GGG Macklin which did over 1m. At this point he's doing 1m no matter who the opponent is. Stevens might sell a couple of hundred extra tickets, that's about it. Hey the atmosphere counts.

I don't bet on boxing, but GGG will be a massive favorite, so I'd stand to gain little. If you're a Stevens believer though, you may be able to buy a new car putting down 1k

I can see him opening up in the -600 range...... any lower would surprise me

His fight would have hit over a million if he fought Mora or N'dam or Soliman

[soul_survivor]

It may be his last meaningful fight, Darren Barker who's an actual titleholder at middleweight wouldn't fight him for 300k. Curtis Stevens has a name to add to GGG's resume (kinda)

Stevens > Ishida, Proska, Mora am i the only one that thinks that?

You are the only one who thinks that LOL

Like I'm saying, there were better opponents out there for GGG. Golovkin took a step up with Macklin but is taking 10 steps back with the Stevens fight. It's just a way for HBO to get GGG another easy KO and keep feeding this aura of invincibility he's generating.

Which better opponent outside Mora are we talking about here?

Betting is predicting the future. Nobody can predict the future. Only a fool would gamble thousands on a guess.
