Do head trainers get paid a salary or a percentage?

[PensionKiller]

The once accepted norm was and still is a flat 10%. But the top fighters who earn millions don't like to pay 2-3-4-millions for 8 weeks training. I don't blame them.

So what they do is they come to an arrangement with the trainer b eginning at about 3% for the huge earners.

Freddie Roach was smart enough to hang onto Manny P. and talk him into believing that he NEEDED him, so, as I recall, was able to firm up a 10% fee, which, because Manny was ignorant and overawed (at the time) he agreed to, so The Roach rolling in money, doesn't even spend a cent on razor blades.........

If Manny was a different sort of fellow he'd have renegotiated the deal, although maybe he has. These guys, pretending to be "poor workingmen trying to "put food on the table for the family" (a favourite excuse of "poormouthers") very often end up in the position of having much more money in their accounts, than the guy who earned most of it for them.

And, since they are not the "heros" but rather in a "menial sort of position, they have no appearances to keep up, can dress and and live the way they want to.

I hope that fighters are allowed to claim much of their personal appearances, showboating and lifestyle spending, as Income Tax expenses.

If they can't that's not fair.................\

Just my opinion

Pac is pretty dumb I have to admit

25% to uncle Bob, 5% to Oscar, 10% to Roach, 35% to the IRS, etc.

Pac is getting played.

I wouldn't really go that far. Pac sees Freddie as like family from what I've seen, so he would want to make sure that he is well taken care of anyway, much like how I am sure that Roger is well taken care of. Don't worry about the house that Roach and Roger live in they are well taken care of.

I'd assume Jack Loew gets a nice figure from Kelly Pavlik and probably the same with Birmingham and Winky. Those guys all seem close to their trainers.

99% of trainers get a % of whatever the fighter earns which like some people have pointed out happens to be 10% (Depends sometimes), Its has been suggested though that Maybe trainers should be on a yearly salary with fighters but the problem is some fighters go through a year without fighting so how are they suppose to pay the fighters?

I thought Pacquiao avoids the IRS by training outside of the US for a number of days (ie Cotto training Camp in Baguio)

i've heard pacquiao is paying roach about 21%....
