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

[Boxing_1013]

What quality trainer worth his salt is going to want to work for that amount of money?

No trainer would want to work for hundreds of thousands of dollars for one fight? Are you serious? Lol

Does anyone know if the customary 10% share is based on gross income or income net of certain expenses and perhaps taxes as well? Thanks.

There is always 2 sides to the story but the 10% was probably more or less to a certain dollar amount or should be.
Say most of GGG's fights the past 5 years minus the two Canelo fights were for 4 million average. 10% 400k. I can see 500k at most. But when his money went up to 100 million by 6 fights = 16.6 million each. I can see where he didn't see the point of Abel getting over 1.5 million a fight. That 10% is fine when your fighter is making under 5 million but a trainer and I don't care which is not worth a million or more a fight. That just honest business smarts.
It's really ****ty of Abel to come out *****ing as that there private business for one and for two if makes Abel look like the greedy ass not GGG.
10% to a certain cut off level being I think no trainer deserves over a million. There not getting hurt or risking there lives. They don't put in the work either. The boxer has all the risk. Abel should have been happy for GGG not out to steal undeserved money.
Just my opinion.

I believe this was a decision GGG after him loosing his belts to Clenelo Alvaroidz, Abel just did not
have an answer or a plan to beat Canelo so GGG decided to leave him, i don’t think it is the
money aspect. We will see if thats the case when new
trainer is
announced...

To hell with Abel, his bs high altitude training and his big mouth. Good riddance and long overdue. Good for GGG.

This is just how boxing goes. Remember how many trainers Oscar went through, Cotto cut off his own uncle. Mosley even fired his pops once. No one is safe.

Man these words will continue to haunt Abel I think. A flat fee for a much larger piece of the pie is how it should go. Surprised he feels that entitled to another man's money. To me he looks like the greedy one and GGG looks like he is being smart and not throwing away the money he is finally earning at the end of his career.

I can understand him being a little emotional - but the thing is that he even said that the writing for this has been on the wall for weeks. For him to come out and respond so emotionally and callously publicly is not a good look for him. I guess he knows GGG was his last big fish so if he loses him he knows he is basically going to retire as a trainer anyway.

But comments like these will definitely change his public perception and legacy. Just a terrible look for him imo, and I always liked him.

no. he is working for that money. so it's his. ggg dont wanna pay, he leaves. simple. but another man's money? abel isn't a fan like you. dont get it twisted peasant.

[Smash]

ggg could have said to him, listen bro, im getting more money and the better i do the more i get, so if i win ill pay u a bit more too! happy, yeah cool

or the relationship could have run its course and the cash being the final straw, it happens when things dont go so well, someone has to carry the can ^^
