I thought Garcia quit. He was working Bey's corner and left it during the fight to wrap Floyd's hands. Floyd said because it was the biggest fight of Bey's career he thought it only right for Garcia to stay with him. I don't think Floyd fired him, I thought he quit out of pride.
Yeah, I remember it being a little bit of both. Like, Floyd told him he didn't need him to wrap his hands anymore, but on top of that Floyd also made a statement saying that it's the best he's felt his hands wrapped ever. So, to a certain extent, Floyd made implications that maybe Rafael wouldn't wrap his hands for his future fights, but never really let him go. Rafael probably took that as if Floyd not needing him anymore and decided to "retire." All in all, there seemed to be a lot of confusion and differences after the 2nd Maidana fight, but at the end of the day, I don't think anybody wants to be left out in the cold for this payday.
How are the guys on the team normally paid in boxing?
<--Only watches a huge fight event here and there.
Varies. Top trainers will probably get between 3-5% of the fighters purse. Some may go a little higher. That's for eight weeks. Cut men will usually get a flat fee and comp tickets. No need in paying that dude if the fighter doesn't get hit. I know Floyd probably takes care of Garcia. Now if you had a guy like Gatti or Gabe Rosales, who splits their skin when they sneeze, cut man might be paid a little more.
Strength coach and chef are probably paid like regular employees, especially like Floyd's, whom he can afford to pay year round. Some just pay for that camp and then will bring them back once the next camp starts. That's why you see Roach wanting to fight Floyd because he knows out of Manny's 80M, he's probably gonna see maybe 4-6M. Not bad.
I guess we'll have to keep an eye out for celebs in the front rows that have ads splattered all over their clothes!... _________________ Just chill and watch the new Dynasty evolve...

Stylistically, I think I found a fight that could end up similar to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao
there's no way Floyd drops manny in the first round.. but I see what you're saying.
B-hop has more power than floyd..
Oh, I'm not saying knockdowns will happen at all, but just stylistically, the advantages for both fighters are very similar:
Hopkins was the better defensive fighter than Calzaghe. Great technician and counter-punching. Calzaghe was offensive minded fighter with a good combination of speed and power, southpaw, and threw punches in bunches. The biggest difference between that fight vs. Manny and Floyd, is that there really isn't a noticeable speed advantage from either side, whereas Calzaghe was seen to have the speed advantage when he fought B-Hop.
Granted, Hopkins was already supposed to be on the "down-side" of his career, but he proved to be one of the greatest by what he's done in the past few years. And that fight with Calzaghe was still a split decision...very close. _________________ Just chill and watch the new Dynasty evolve...

Mayweather will have more to do with how this fight unfolds than Pacquiao because he is one of the most gifted all-around boxers in half a century. If Mayweather wants this fight to contain some toe-to-toe exchanges, it will. If he doesn’t, it won’t. But again, the feeling here is that Mayweather won’t want to use a stage of this size to go out there and put people to sleep.

I think Mayweather will be too good for Manny. At any point in time I think Floyd would be the better of the 2, but it would've been closer had they fought in their primes.
Manny has regressed at this point more than Floyd has, I definitely feel like Floyd has an advantage in this respect. _________________ Lakers, Chargers, Dodgers, Arsenal FC.

Highly disagree.if mayweather wants this fight to contain some toe toe it will if he doesn't it won't . The would mean being on your legs for 12 rounds and I don't think he has it in him anymore. After the first maidana fight he said he wanted to give the fans a fight. Bull. He doesn't have the legs to move 12 rounds anymore. Old mayweather with his legs no way. This mayweather their is a chance
Only 1 hour and 2o minutes until I feel a little better about where this fight is. Still remaining skeptical, until they're face to face, but it doesn't stop me from tracking all the news and vids....LOL _________________ Just chill and watch the new Dynasty evolve...

Gotta love Brother Naazim! He always tells it like it is, no bias, no b.s., no excuses! And, he remains respectful. Brother Naazim is an awesome example, of someone who knows his stuff and also is an inspiration story, having come back from his stroke to do what he's done with Bernard.

Ken Hershman messed up. He said that Manny made his US debut with Floyd headlining the card...that's wrong. It was Oscar who was headlining. _________________ Just chill and watch the new Dynasty evolve...
