It's simple, when Floyd heard "MX Everlast gloves" he had flashbacks of the Cotto fight and everything that came with it. Including the bloody nose. So he said **** that ****, not again.

Was Cotto using the MX gloves against Floyd?

the cotto fight was at 154, so the gloves were also slightly larger
I don't think Floyd ever cared about gloves til he felt those custom blue everlast mx gloves that maidana was going to use
apparently the padding distribution was off so Floyd overreacted and now believes its only due to it having horse hair
tl:dr Floyd is ignorant

Floyd is doing this because Maidana is a puncher and could potentially stop him with puncher's gloves. It's mind boggling that nobody puts a stop to this. He's basically making up the rules as he goes along, and the officials seem to do whatever he says, because he generates revenue.
Maidana isn't being forced to do anything, it's a contractual stipulation
In fact maidana could've worn the red MX gloves in the last fight but decised to take 1.5m and wear powerlocks
what is Floyd gonna do if maidana doesn't agree to the glove situation, cancel the fight? maidana should stand firm on the gloves

I think that could be a nice strategy, money isn't everything.
