A lot of guys come into big/bigger money and don't want to keep the old deal. It sucks for everyone. Mostly for the trainers that don't get that increased payday after years of low/lower pay.
What does he mean by "trainer compensation schedule"? Is it like it sounds, when he'll be getting paid? So it's not over how much Abel is getting paid, but WHEN Able is getting paid?
I NEVER trust a guy that puts out a statement like that after the other party kept it civil in the public forum.
Sounds like Abel is a salty bitch to me. And hes not even that good of a trainer. GGG pretty much knew everything he knows already before going to his gym. He just liked the hard training in Big Bear and the endearment towards the mexican fans. Thats all.

It could mean that, but I've also seen "schedule" be another word for a more general structure. Maybe he was offered certain milestones or stipulations that he wasn't happy with. I don't know exactly how trainers at that level are compensated, but I would imagine that it's probably multifaceted, including training services, media, points on PPV, attendance, etc.
Whatever the case, he clearly wasn't a fan.
It might be better for GGG. I don’t think at 37 training full time camps at big bear ca. high altitude are a good idea.
You never know what's up... but I can understand why Abel would be pissed.
He rode with GGG for a long time... now that he is getting the big payday, he is likely cutting Abel's percentage.
Sucks... but part of business.
I think there should be a cap on how much a fighter owes their gym/coach. Once a fighter is making millions that percentage, let's say 10%, gets a little skewed.
Bad example probably, but if Carlos Condit made $1million to fight GSP, does JacksonWink deserve $100,000? I don't think so. Maybe $50Gs.
Parden my post, I'm a lil dumb

This. You can keep whatever problems between the two of you. GGG did, but Abel got all butthurt with his gravytrain going somewhere else.
They seemed a good team, be interested to know what their old v new deal was like?
10% of 100k, makes sense.
10% of 1mill, is getting up there but fair still.
10% of 100 million dollars is" lol, yeah right you're getting that money"
