Reporters said I made X money that night but that’s a lie as I made it that midnight…
If you ask the owner, his master Dan Lambert [founder, American Top Team] [Covington’s former training center]… There’s a rule in American Top Team, you don’t pay any of your coaches when you fight you pay the team 5% gym fees and so he doesn’t want you to pay any other percentages to the coaches because he will distribute the 5% equally to the coaches so I never had to pay any money to this stunning coach Paulino Hernandez. In other words, these allegations are baseless, fake news, lies,” he said. Finishing Covington.
