Did Abel Sanchez really say with a straight face getting paid less $10 million was insulting?

He turned out a bad one imo, loves himself..But to be insulted with that offer lol, it made it very easy for GGG to wave him good bye..Also, GGG regressed under his tutelage

 

Ggg probably had a Jordan sweatshop, Abel wanted a piece of the pie.

 

Abel Sanchez rubs me up the wrong way, at times. Sometimes he comes across as a decent guy and then other times he gives off the impression of a two-faced conman.

 

Cute as a fox, as the saying goes

 

I like how everyone turned on Abel because Comrade Gennady dumped him after using his ethnicity to push ticket sells to a community he has zero in common with. His entire "Mexican Style" run was boosted by Abel playing the side kick, so he was just as entitled to a good pay as he was. It's up to the fighter to negotiate pay with a trainer if he thinks he is worth it. Abel Sanchez knows what the deal is.

 

Was it his usual cut? The 10 million dollars he wanted? Was GGG gonna make 100 million or something? Did I miss this?

 

Usual fee is 10%

That was their agreement

GGG wanted to make it 2%

 

That aint business bro, wake up

So pay him 10 mil for what you said here ? ffs

Its up to the trainer to negotiate what he thinks hes worth

 

Most fighters walk from a trainer when they hit massive money, or it happens at that stage a lot..Usually with trainers that are really far up their own arses..Groves and Haye left Booth because of it, it happens, but to still expect 10% of nearly a 100,000,000 pot is really stupid

 

$10 for 6 more fights worth $100. . $2 million was a low blow offer.

Everyone piling on Sanchez for this but I think he had a point.

A trainer takes a percentage of a fighter's income. In return he devotes his time and expertise. At the beginning he's likely not making much, if anything. He invests his time, the boxer invests his effort and together, if they're good and lucky they may make it to the big league.

At that point, is it so wrong for the trainer to share in the success just as he shared the risk/outlay when things weren't going well? Maybe not at the same percentage, that can be up for negotiation, but everyone condemning Sanchez should at least acknowledge that they'd made an agreement together and GGG decided to drop it when it suited him.

I don't have any problem with the principle that as the purses increase that others who have helped get the boxer to that position should share in the proceeds and that those shares shouldn't neccesarily be capped at an arbritrary limit.

All those people that say 'ah but it's business though' as if that excuses any and every action, have you actually ever done business? Believe it or not there's some honourable people out there that don't look for each and every avenue to shaft each other. Of course there's plenty of shysters too, but that doesn't mean you have to be one and sometimes it's very nice when you see one of them get what's coming to them.

 

Sanchez, like most coaches, is parasitic. They use the talent of the boxer to make money, no? Only when they have personally built the fighter from a very young age can you argue they've had significant impact and even then it's ambiguous. In GGG's case, he came pre-made, turned pro after huge amateur experience. Any trainer out there would have had the same success with that Golovkin. Possibly more.

Trainers like to cry when fighters leave but as people point out, they train multiple fighters and can draw money from a large pool, have their own gyms etc. They can also train a lot longer than one can fight so ultimately they will do better than the average fighter who comes to them.

The 'Mexican Style' was pushed by Sanchez and Loeffler because THEY would make money off of increased interest in Golovkin. Do people really think Golovkin came up with this marketing BS when he could barely make a coherent English sentence? Golovkin doesn't even naturally fight like that.

Sanchez only has himself to blame here because it's obvious he crossed the line after the second Canelo fight and sided with his fellow Mexican. He was barely containing his joy at Canelo winning after the fight, when usually the trainer would be visibly upset at a controversial loss to his unbeaten fighter. The trust was gone. The melting pot had failed, just as it had with Kovalev and Snake Jackson. I would guess the Canelo II post fight had a lot to do with Golovkin's refusal to give Sanchez another fortune and the eventual breakdown of the partnership. It's hard to imagine Gennady and his brother not seething behind closed doors at Sanchez's behaviour that night.

 

Bye bye Sanchez. Don't let that door hit u on the way out .
