    You know that twelve weeks that the fighter spends with the trainer where the trainer tells the fighter what to do? You know the guy who gives the boxer pointers? This usually happens before the fight and is known as "training". And the guy who runs that is known as the "trainer". And his job is to "train" the fighter...

    Not sure where you get the "huge sums" from, they generally make less than 10%.

      ...which is why I have to give McGirt credit for last night's effort.

          Roger makes A LOT of money. Why do you think he has the 19 year old gf?

          Roach made $1.3 mil for the Oscar fight. I'm guessing that Floyd has struck a deal that pays Roger about a mil per fight.

                  Hmm, havent seen it yet, i have seen Manny Steward in Jermaine Taylors corner during the pavlik fight, he said everything other than what actually needed to be said to jermaine. which was......

                  "You ****ing Moron, hold your left hand higher and you will win the fight, he (pavlik) has hit you with that same ****ing right hand about 30 times now"


                  I dont know how he sleeps at night, either that or i should be a trainer.

                    honestly some of the **** that comes from these trainers mouths is shocking. ive always thought goosen (think its dan) gives sensible, constructive advice between rounds. But then we only usually get to hear a small amount during a fight

                      Goosen is pretty cool, i think everyone was impressed with how he handled shane moesly in the corner during the winky wright saga.

                      Funnily enough, yoel judah was actually giving zab some decent advice during the mayweather fight.

                      Actually Roger Mayweather talks some real **** during mayweather's fights

                      "Potshot his ass"
                      "Dont hit him to the body any more"
                      "And slide that right hand to his ass, just for good measure"
