    :lol: Who's gonna get him more? They're hyping the sh1t out of him, the guy doesn't have a top 10 win in any division. And has some really bad losses to boot.

    300k is like 5 times his market value. He may never get that opportunity again

    No other fighters will be lining up to fight GGG and K2 really need to keep moving GGG along while the hype and demand is still strong.

    This could be a smart stunt that nets him an extra 100k.

    How is GG the "baddest man in boxing"...??

    This is getting ridiculous

    Never has a fighter done so little to get so much credit.

    You must be a much stronger poster on the janitorial boards. In boxing this is huge money for someone like Stevens. It's even excellent money for better qualified opponents, like top 10 rated

    In my eyes, which has seen a lot of ****, it's much more interesting fight than Mack was.

    But hey.. you keep fighting for poor K2 and HBO.

    160 is not a big money division nowadays.

    If Golovkin and Stevens play this right they can both make a lot of money.

    All they have to do is continue to kick as.ses and the money will be there 2 fights down the road.

    If they fight now..they both lose.

    How is Stevens even worth 300k? He thinks he's going to get even more by knocking out some **** tier comp on NBC?
    Beat Saul Roman, get offered a world title shot and throw it down because he deserves more

    Well 300k is already greatly overpricing a fringe contender. How much will he be making on NBC instead, 10x less?

    when GGG knocks him out how much money will he make in his next fight. He should get more unless he thinks he can win. I he beat GGG he would get double that for his next fight. So it's a big gamble. But he can't win and most likely after losing to GGG he would be all but ruined.
    THIS IS THE REASON GGG CAN'T GET A DECENT OPPONENT!

    Rosado was making like 50-80k a show I think when he was on NBC... no doubt Adamek gets a bulk of the money either

    Wow.

    Didn't think I'd ever see a guy that got schooled by Jesse Brinkley turn down $300k and a title shot, but there you go.

    Fans here obviously want to see that fight, right?

    \\The two men exchanged power shots after the knockdown, before Stevens again connected with a crisp left hand that put Roman flat on his back and out cold.//

    That alone should make it easy to sell for casual HBO subscribers.
