Why does Joe Gallagher not own his own gym?

[mickey1975]

Don't forget Gallagher is a lot of his fighters manager as well as their trainer.

Which ones?

[Muttley]

Why all the hatred toward Joe Gallagher? Seems decent enough when i watch his interviews.

The internet can be a cruel place. Dont just think of the man himself, he could have family, friends etc reading this dribble. All sounds rather unfounded to me.

Agree, mate, although the meth comment cracked me up

But it's just typical British style. If someone is reasonably successful we try to bring them down to our level.

Wise words sir, Too many people try far too hard to chase money and end overworked,tired and miserable. I think Joe has it right.

[Muttley]

Simpson was a great wee fighter, the shop lifting statistics in the Greenock Aldi store will have dropped considerably.

Either way Gallagher clearly loves his job, if he is making a comfortable living doing what he loves then he is already wealthier than most people.

More wise words. you can have all the money in the world but if you don't have peace of mind and contentment whats the point?

[Stevieb8006]

Is Joe not full-time even with his huge and fairly high level stable?

Fit's it all in around his shifts at Tesco.


That's where he's gone wrong, he should have jumped ship to Aldi's years back, he'd own his own gym by now if he had.

Exactly the point I was making on the other thread

[BigDoofus]

You're not very good at guessing then

Go on then know-it-all. What were the seven purses?

I couldn't even start to imagine what Gallagher earns, but if it's over one and a quarter mill a year I'll fall over with shock

Aah, get you Davie. I meant he'd earned over 50k in the last fortnight. On Sky sports podcast they mentioned £1m for Liam Smith's purse. Crolla plus the other 5 purses could have been getting up towards that figure?

[Stevieb8006]

It seems crazy that he still uses Khan's gym? Surely being a world renowned trainer now he would have his own? Surely he has the money too?

World renowned?

Didn't he win ring magazine trainer of the year?

[BigDoofus]

John Simpson works in Aldi Greenock. Maybe he's saving up for a gym? Not sure if he's fighting again.

I used to work for aldi. Great wages. The minimum pay in the warehouse is £9.80.

Plus you've got access to all the pate and dog food you can steal.

He did. For winning 3 "world" titles he became the world's best trainer. Now he's lost 3 "world" titles what does that make him?

Quigg never won a world title he got it via email.

Also Gallagher turned down the Andrade fight for Liam Smith only to fight for the vacant belt a few months later.

Still difficult to argue that the guy who won last years ring magazine isn't world renowned. That was my point. Like him or not he's a name.

My Ex wife's cousin is quite high up in it. Started of at checkouts and worked her way up. I'd take a job there if I could. I'd struggle to find anywhere as flexible as the place I'm at just now though.

He was kicked out of benchill when he fell out with jimmy Egan I think he was training his won lads in the gym so it was like having a gym in a gym, louvolite he bubbled the owner up to the sponsors of the gym over something, not sure about shannons gym, moss side he was taking the keys without asking, and Betta bodies I think Kerry kayes had enough of him

Taking the keys from who ?

He took the spare keys out the gym from moss side and was using the gym without permission, it didn't go down well

Chancing bastard! I've always thought he's came across as an arrogant twat and I've read a few things on here which support that but his fighters seem to like and trust him!

One would think that they are the people best qualified to judge.

There's a lot of green-eyed-monster floating about here.

Yeah they are the people that matter of course. Doesn't mean he's not a bell end though.

Luckily perceived amiability ain't high on the list of qualities that make a good trainer I guess.

True. I've worked with plenty of twats who were good at their jobs.

World renowned?

Ring magazine trainer of the year. Has/had a stable of world champions that he nurtured from the start....yes whether you like him or not you have to say he is world class now.

[TopGun]

People have said he doesn't get the money but lets be honest he must do with all his fighters at world level taking a 10% cut! Just the purse on Quigg and Crolla's last fights would have made him £200k I reckon. To rent a gym space and get the equipment which I reckon he would be given or highly subsidiesed would cost less than £25k....still don't know why he doesn't have his own gym

This.
I'm sure Gallagher is doing very well financially. He's had a load of top fighters boxing regularly on big shows for years now.

Won't he be on 20% too not 10?

Fukk that then lol. I like my family time and free time. I'm not cut out to be a career type. I like just finishing my shift then forgetting about work til I next have to go in.
