Adonis Stevenson made more over $1.5 million for Sukhotsky fight

In an article from f i g h t n e w s.

Promotoer Yvon Michel who stated Stevenson�s minimum is now 1.5 million and he made more than that tonight also stated, �He�s making a lot of money and perspective of big fights for next year are there too so things cannot be better for him. It doesn�t matter what critics are saying, he is doing the best with opponents he is given. We made a choice to go in a different direction with him and it didn�t work, it�s just a question of business t�s not because of his nature. Anybody they put in front of him, he did the best he could do. I don�t think there are a lot of guys ranked in the world who could more than five rounds with Adonis Stevenson. Does that mean he should not fight anybody? This guy was ranked #4 came here and believed he had a chance to beat Adonis and this tonight is what the champion has to do.?br />

And people are mad he went with haymon lol. You woulda done the same

People didn't believe me when I said he was going to get that for this fight. He's has a guarantee and with Al involved, I assume Showtime footed that entire bill.

It really hurts the sport to pay certain fighters this kind of money of these kind of fights (Guerrero, Garcia, Broner did it earlier in the year). Spread that budget out to more fighters and better fights. This is Haymon's history dating back to the HBO days with Greenburg & Davis, where guys like Andre Berto were getting almost $2mill to fight easy fights in front of fewer than 1,000 fans.

Zhang Yong is apparently a man of both great wisdom and fine taste.
