Golovkin ..... unsung good guy

[powerpuncher]

Cool story. GGG has always seemed like a good guy.

Prize fighters can be good guys very sad when a boxer gets injured boxing is very unforgiving and lucky theses injuries are few and far between,! considering how many bouts there are from week to week around the world.
GGG always seems to be very respectfully to his opponents and fans good on him.

Let's hope Golovkin gets the victory he deserves over Canelo this year.

Again this is why boxing governing bodies are a disgrace. Gutnecht family left broke after a man almost died dedicating his life to the sport. 10% of every professional boxers purse should go into a fund for injured/retired boxers unable to work elsewhere.

To be honest after getting 15-20 million for the canelo fight giving 18k to a former opponents family isnt a particularly generous. I know its better than nothing but if you are really concerned why not donate/help raise enough that would allow his family to look after him properly for years to come.

It was done without publicity or fanfare, how nice, glad no-one will ever know, thankfully it wasn't leaked to the press. The saintly philanthropic nature of the rich and famous. It warms your heart.

18 grand aint shit to GGG the promoters and managers should be made to pay all medical fees every show should be paying in to a universal fund to support injured fighters.

Actually according to this: https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/new...aturday-night/

GGG made 3 million for the fight. Perhaps more with a cut of ppv. Fighters still have to pay their promoters, trainers, cutmen (whether theyre cut or not) , sanctioning fees, and good old uncle sam (who usually takes his half right off the top). The donation of fight gear to an auction is probably the smart thing to do, being you cant write off 18k on your taxes. You lose the money flat out and the beneficiary probably doesn't receive it all on his end if its a "cash gift". Charitable donations are usually protected from taxes, cash gifts are usually taxed flat out after they hit a certain number (in the US right now i believe its tax free under 13000, they start taxing after that). Thats why churches have it so good... donations every sunday and rent free most of the time.

I just read on the first link when googles that it was 15 for GGG and 20 for Canelo

I know they have to pay a lot of extras and probably walk away with about half of their acual purse. But still 18k from 7.5 mil is fuck all.

All pro fighters, regardless of level, should be forced to put a % or 2 of their purses into a fund for injured fighters. Fighters at the top pay for the unlucky ones who get injured on the way up

Yes, you're all right. Golovkin is clearly a tax dodging, publicity seeking wanker for giving Gutnecht the £18k.

He should not have donated any money to the fund, how dare he.
