    I'm sure this has been asked before, so my apologies, but does anyone know the reason behind the Groves/Booth split?

    There seemed to be a level of reconciliation after the Froch fight but Groves was adamant that they could never work together again.

    Thanks

    Money. Booth is very controlling with his fighters.

    simple Booth was on 35% Groves thought **** it manage himself hire Paddy pay him a fix fee probably 5k a fight the thing is when your earning crap money its easy to pay 35% but when you hit the big pay fights its hard to give away 35% hope that clear things up

    It's hard either way really. I mean if he earned £10k, it's still a lot to dish out. Let alone if it was £100k.

    I take it that 35% is the going/flat fee?

    Was under the impression it was 25% myself. Still a **** load to give away though.

    Not really giving it away as trainers often make or break fighters but i know what you mean, who doesnt want to keep everything

    So, he'll stay with Paddy till he asks for 35%.. Then he'll be off again.

    All that can be said is this:

    Adam Booth found something out about Groves and demanded he never set foot in his gym again.

    Then took legal advice immediately.

    Groves was actually barred from even getting his stuff from the Hayemaker gym, Booth was that mad about him.

    Take it or leave it.

    I really couldn't care either way. The lad has burned a few bridges in recent times and has badly dissapointed more a few people around the Hayemaker gym.
