It's official: Mayweather Sr. not training ODLH

[El Gamo]

Floyd wanted $2million right?! I don't know much about trainers fees but that sounds like ALOT for a trainer.

10% is the usual trainer fee. $2 million isnt that much, Oscars purse must be $20 milllion+, god knows what he earn in total.

It's not the usual trainer fee for fighters that are big stars. In those cases, it's always a flat fee, and always considerably less than $2 million. (they talk about this in that boxingtalk interview). Toward the end of the interview, Floyd Sr. is pretty clear that he's asking for a huge amount of money not only because he thinks he deserves in on Oscar's payday, but because he needs extra compensation before he'll agree to train someone to fight his son.

I don't think Floyd Sr. had any expectation that ODH would be willing to pay him $2M and made that an essentially non-negotiable number because whatever bad blood there is between him and little Floyd, he really didn't want to do this. This gave him an out without coming out and saying that (though he implies just as much in that interview with all his talk about how he'd have to "live with it for the rest of [his] life").

I think it's just an act,I think he really believed that he would get the $$$,he knew it was a big chance to make big bucks and depp down,he's pissed about not getting his way which is why I have just read an interview where he is saying Oscar's size advantage isn't shit,only he can help Oscar to make the most of Floyd' weak hands etc so I think he was trying to persuade Oascar to choose him and failed.
