What is the % of a fighters purse that should go to the cornermen, trainers etc??

[joberd]

I don't think that's how it works. You pay your trainers, cornermen etc. a base salary, don't you?

[moobies]

i think for boxing it is by %, not sure about mma.

[Goro Hida , The crab bushi]

It depends, usually a mma fighter would pay something betwen 10-15 % for trainers.
On top of that there is usually some 10-20% for the manager.

Oops, guess I was wrong

10% corner, 10% management, 5% cut man/second corner.

Pretty standard on most levels, however on the lower end of th spectrum most guys at local shows just trade corners in and out with other fighters they train with functioning as their second. So they don't pay anybody.

Or they pay 10% to their trainer who functions as both their corner and management. Their second corner/cut man is then another fighter.

Not sure if you know or not, but there is an "ask the fighters" forum on here. You may get better responses there.

At your level, you should be able to get someone from your gym to corner for 0 $$ Some gyms take %20, but that is if they are finding the fights and all the rest. I wouldnt suggest more than 10% for your corner men at all!

Trainers make seperate pay, don't they? I know that the fee for trainers in my area is $80-150 a month. I, personally, would only pay a trainer extra if I won; but I'm a bit of a capitalist when it comes to that. The cut man, on the other hand, is worth his weight in gold if he can keep you in the fight.

Thats Why Some Fighters Don't Have Corner Person Helping Them Out

You would get a better answer in the 'ask the fighters' section. Try to get the attention of Bas or Enson esp, they will get you the answers you need.
