You’re definitely speculating. You could be wrong about this, so let’s not pretend that you can defend this claim, because it’s painfully obvious you can’t.
yes, but that's only Abel's view of it. Using %'s rather than numbers makes it support Sanchez's case. Using numbers makes it look like little or no actual pay change.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑25 Apr 2019, 13:12 The Abel Sanchez interview transcript has already been published to this forum.
The industry-standard figure trainers receive is 10% of their fighters earnings per bout.
No one is saying he's lying. What I'm saying is that the dollars don't change, just the %'s, regardless of industry norms. Just slants the story by using %'s. Dropping 80% sounds huge. The dollars may actually be going up. Other posters indicate that most trainers are on flat fee rather than 10%. Are you certain about that aspect? I'm not defending GGG, as I think it was a money grab, but 330k per fight is pretty sweet for a trainer.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑25 Apr 2019, 13:22 The industry-standard figure trainers receive is 10% of their fighters earnings per bout.
If Abel Sanchez is lying, then I’m sure GGG will say so pretty soon.
If Golovkin chooses to remain silent, then this implies admission and damage limitation.
We’ll just have to wait and see how things pan out.
Personally though, Abel’s claim is quite extreme and it’s not something that I can imagine anyone lying about, because if he is lying, then what he’s said is very slanderous,
I’m certain about trainers typically receiving 10%.oogiebe wrote: ↑25 Apr 2019, 13:27 No one is saying he's lying.

Tuff situation indeed. Some could argue that based on his amateur background he could have made it with practically any trainer. I can see how Abel would feel it unfair to be left out of the big cash out but at this stage of the game a fighter like GGG only needs a celebrity trainer that can help him get attention. Theres a bunch of those that would probably jump at the opportunity. Garcia, Roach, Atlas to name a few.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑25 Apr 2019, 13:18 If you’re accustomed to being paid a 10% commission, which is industry standard, but then offered a package that equates to only 2%, immediately after a fighter you’ve been loyal to and trained for eight or nine years signs a nine-figure deal, then that’s pretty bad.
If GGG doesn’t refute Abel Sánchez’s claims, will you still defend Golovkin’s decision?
Has Golovkin achieved everything in this sport without anybody’s help?
Just like Dundee years ago.

He walked when Leonard suddenly wanted to give him a straight fee instead of a fairer percentage that would have earned him far more.
Golovkin gets richer thru DAZN, signing a reported $100 milion deal, but he also gets tight fisted.
Maybe Golovkin wanted Sanchez out regardless of the money. I still think he bristled when his trainer told the media that Golovkin didn't deserve the decision in the second Canelo fight.
But it's crappy way to treat a trainer who has been there for nearly 9 years and guided you to a world title and a fortune in earnings.
In the Spanish language media about a week or so after the second fight.
He said that Canelo fought great fight and deserved it. He never said that Golovkin deserved the fight. Not even on fight night.
