    stevenson vs dawson 6000/15000 tickets
    stevenson vs cloud 9921/15000 tickets
    stevenson vs bellew 8540/15000 tickets
    stevenson vs forfana 6340/15000 tickets
    stevenson vs sukhotsky 6220/15000 tickets
    stevenson vs bika 4729/15000 tickets

    the man struggles to fill the stadium 30% for most he's fights, no even counting how many free tickets are given away, while still getting 2 million paydays. Am i crazy to find these numbers insane, or am i an idiots and needs to stay quiet and understand haymon is the financial genius of our time?

    He's on welfare called PBC where you actually get paid for bringing nothing to the table.

    I think when the money runs out and a lot of these boxers will have to fight for literally free they will probably just retire as they have no heart

    what does the lack of ticket selling have to do with heart?

    if he had heart he would fight better opponents, actually he would need pride for that too

    i highly doubt that when he cant even fill up quarter of a stadium. and factor in a ticket would actually cost less than ppv makes even more improbable

    the PPV are 50- 60$

    I dont know, ask Haymon

    You could argue Jean Pascal and Bute deserve 2 mil, but they put butts in the seats


    Adonis can't make anyone like him, he can't even sell himself,
    Jean Pascal always puts on a show

    ppv is 69.99

    most tickets are at least 60 bucks i know i was there for his last 3 fights
    im probably wrong about ppv number but defenitly more than 10k...add haymon money to that
    i have no doubt that yvon michel is willing to pay his last world champ 2million

    so basically if you add up all the ticket money and all the ppv money , you just about given enough for adonis stevensons purse, not counting the cost of renting the arena, paying commentators undercard fighters, officals, staff etc not also factor in haymon pays money for putting the fight on tv in america

    so basically every penny and sometimes thats not even enough goes straight into stevensons back pocket and the share holders are out of cash lmfao

    and michel isnt paying him, haymon is, remember the chavez jr chque made directly from haymon for he's fight purse that he quickly deleted off twitter?

    Stevenson is getting paid way too much for the money he is generating. Plus, he is not making the fights that would generate the most money. He is not fighting Kovalev, he refuses to fight Pascal, he didn't want to fight Alvarez and he is certainly even mentioning the name Beterbiev...
