Comments Thread For: Abel Sanchez: Greedy Golovkin Offered Me a 'Fifth' of Normal Pay

[Lemonhead_Jeff]

Golovkin is finally giving us the 'big drama show' that he always promised.

Yeah that’s why nobody ever wanted to fight him! Because not only was he gonna knock you the fff out but he was also gonna demand an unfair portion of the money! Man at least pay these guys for their trouble! Scumbag ggg

I think you could argue that he was pushing for too much of a split with Canelo in either case, especially the 2nd fight...but honestly he has always been fair or more than fair in any other split that I've seen.

He gave Wade his $500k. Gave Jacobs more than what was mandated to make that fight, even after Jacobs appealed and lost the appeal. He made 350k to Macklins 300k when they fought. 400k to 290k to Stevens when they fought. 750k to 600k for Geale. Brook made $5 million plus PPV upside compared to just $5 million to GGG.

The truth is that the only way he was able to get decent guys in the ring with him for a long time was to overpay them, and he did.

$500k almost stopped the Jacobs fight from happening.

That's a lot of money lol. And he gave Jacobs more than what was mandated. I mean how can anyone try and hate on GGG for that specifically lol.

If that’s true he’s a huge scumbag.

GGG is a fu.cking diva and a greedy sh.it

6 fights is over 3 years 2 fights a year. Plus he helped mold his career over 9 years. The 10% was ok when they made 50,000 a fight. Now after 9 years of brutal training in Abel’s gym and camp now good times he should get 1/5th?

Dude you do this in every thread. You've got to learn how to quote people.

Golovkin probably doesn't even need a trainer at his age. Just someone to hold the pads and someone for strength and conditioning.

Yea cause gg is an all time great. One of the best boxing minds we’ve seen. Doesn’t even need a coach

[Theosis26]

If this is true then that is ****ed up & petty. I hope 3g doesn't think he's gonna find another quality trainer with 4/5 percent offers or dirt cheap flat fee's. This dude is so money hungry now that he won't even fight a top 50 opponent smfh. Expect him to hire some unknown amateur style coach that no one has ever heard of. I wouldn't be surprised if he had no couch or even a cut-man in his corner for his next fight actually.

I don't think Sanchez contributed much to GGG skill wise. He just seems like an ole go through the motions type trainer. Similar to Virgil Hunter, Nothing special. With or without Abel's training I think GGG's record would be the same.

In the past few years outside of GGG I can't recall any of his other fighter's getting a significant win, but I can remember many of them taking L's..

GGG probably could've handled the situation better as far as communication with someone you've been training with for so long, but at the same time for Sanchez to run str8 to the media babbling on like a spoiled brat say's something about his character as well..

Seem's to me like Abel was depending on GGG's 10% checks a little too much..

I think I remember Shafikov beating someone he wasn't supposed to? I think he was with Abel then. But yeah otherwise I can't remember him getting a big win with a guy. The Gassiev fight with Usyk was especially a bad look for Abel.

Let's get GGG's side of the story
