    Whoever it is needs to be exposed then that will be them finished in the game...let’s have the name and this is an easy fix.

    If Booths split is the traditional 10% then that would take him to 35% total and if it was 15% or more then he would be in the range Barry was talking about (40-50%). Given the size of Booths ego I would expect his percentage to be above the 'traditional' range.

    There’s lots of trainers who take 15% and more I remember speaking to Paul Butler and he said Arnie takes 10%

    Boxing is one of those sports where you have a load of different characters: promoters, trainers, managers, fighters and even judges plunging to any depths to get their hands on loot. That’s what it is to them, it’s not remuneration. It’s LOOT.

    Surely Booth did not get his hands on 25% of George Groves loot for fighting Froch at Wembley etc.

    If so I am speechless

    The podcast was a great listen. Had to listen to it in several parts though, was over 3 hours long.

    I don’t think so. Fighters know the deal, it won’t stop them signing with him. If it’s Adam Booth, then Mick Conlan, Harlem Eubank, Josh Kelly, Shannon Courtenay, Ellie Scotney etc all obviously feel his knowledge, training and managing is worth his %. Adam only works with a handful of fighters so he’s not spread thin like most trainers.
