Comments Thread For: Abel Sanchez Slams "Greedy, Ungrateful" Golovkin For The Split

[Blond Beast]

Abel never improved GGG’s defense. He’s not the one getting punched in the face either. Although at this age, I don’t know how much GGG can improve. He should hire Virgil Hunter to improve his foot work.

Right. GGG at this point has to try something. Changing trainers has always been a way for a boxer to cause speculation and interest. Its to be expected. It’s not like Abel got GGG to change things up against Canelo even if that’s what he asked. The sword of Damocles was over his head. He’s lucky he was there for the rematch. Doesn’t mean anyone will train him better or worse, but this is how boxing works. I’d be surprised if anyone can improve a sliding GGG at this point. I also agree with you on the footwork, it’s not what it was, but he’s older now. I know there’s someone who can help him the most, I hope he finds that person.

Those trying make excuses just stop. This has nothing to do with Sanchez's training. Golovkin simply doesn't want to pay Sanchez now he's got a big deal. He's pocketing as much as he can while taking the easiest fights he can. Now there's nothing wrong with that itself, but after fooling his fans that he cared about the sport and boxing honours more than money it's ****ed up.

No issue with this at all. At 37 there is very little that GGG can be taught.

He tried to leave the partnership with some dignity but Abel Sanchez has had to spit his dummy out.

I’m sure that true new financial package was still lucrative, he just wanted his unjust cut of the millions.

I like seeing boxers take control of their careers. The alternative allows a lunatic like Tunde Ajayi to pretend that he’s also in the ring on fight night as opposed to sitting safely in a corner.

I’ll support the fighter over the trainer every day of the week and twice on fight night.

GGG doesn't need Abel anymore, he's learned all he has to teach him. Abel helped him get to where he's at, and he got paid his 10% for those fights.

Canelo caused a lot of problems with that ass whooping

GGG is a fu.cking.and dirty diva

He reffused too the 10 milion offer to fight canelo

GGG was supposed to be a fighter not interested in money but the sport. He said that many times...what hapenned?? Money talks...

Money is the root of all evil. Am much as I dislike sanchez’s trash talking, how can GGG look to reduce Sanchez pay when he himself got a massive payday?

Couldn’t agree more. Though I think much has to do with Loeffler. There was a lot of industry news insinuation that GGG Promotions was going to deliver new fighters etc., which would mean that GGG Promotions would need a careful allocation for overall budgeting, and didn’t necessarily mean GGG would pocket everything. Therefore, Abel would be taking a huge chunk from that Deal.

People are forgetting that the news was that GGG Promotions was expected to deliver new fights aside from GGG. Overall that becomes costly

... it's sad that, after 9 years, it ended because of money...
