"Ok, next time let me use my gloves"

Was that seriously THE post fight conference?? Because it sounded more like the FMJ show, and Maidana was invited to be seen and not heard. What was with the gloves, Floyd? Floyd: That's in the past. Disagree with something Floyd did or said? Floyd: You must be from Argentina. Maidana, what did you think? Floyd: Next question. :nonono: I was thinking that as well. GBP and Showtime seem to be so far up Floyd's a$$ they will let him get away with anything. A normal press conference is properly chaired normally by promoter giving everyone an equal say. But Floyd had all the advantages before, during and after the fight, they really stacked the deck with this one.

hahaha owned

This controversy reminded me of Pac/Morales II when Pac was finally able to use his Clitoris Glubs. The difference about that and this controversy is that in the contract it stated that Maidana should be able to use any gloves that he likes.

If not complying with the "money guy" wishes regarding the gloves, Maidana would have had earned shit money... Plus he would have been erased from top level boxing... That's reality... Or he could have went to court for his payday, waited out his contact, and walked across the street to the other camp badmouthing Floyd the whole way. I'm glad it went the way it did with the diva, but there is more than one game in town.

I haven't read the thread but why wasn't Maidana allowed to wear the Red MX gloves the commission approved? But the red ones weren't Floyd approved. They reached some behind the scenes deal to get the drama queen to the ring that involved Chino fighting in softer gloves. I hope Maidana got a mint for that.

So how did the glove issue get resolved? It seems like it was swept under the rug. Did I miss something? It didnt get resolved. He was forced to use the powerlock gloves.

Maidana says "Ok, next time let me use my gloves" Guaranteed next time he doesn't. It'll be wear mayweather's approved gloves or don't get payed... guess which one Maidana choses?

Nothing but yes men around this guy.

All of you seem to be missing the fact that Miguel Cotto wore these same gloves against Mayweather when he fought him. This was a move by Floyd to gain a competitive advantage against Maidana. The fight should be declared a No Contest. I agree with the bold. Maidan's team dropped the ball , they should have held out until Floyd agreeed about Maidana's gloves. Floyd had more to lose if the fight didn't go on. I hope Maidana got paid extra for wearing the other gloves.

floyd will make sure that maidana has to wear winning gloves in the rematch (if there is one) lol....i'm still laughing thinking how badly floyd struggled against someone as crude and slow as maidana........ it's almost as comparable as if pac struggled against rios or margarito.......at least when pac fights guys who pressure him (and have a lack of defense) he completely dominates...can't always say the same for floyd i guess...lol

0:10 . spanish spekaing reporter asks if he felt as if he landed well on FLoyd. Maidana saying he felt he landed well a few times and (without even the reporter asking about it) he says that if he had used his gloves he believes he would have at least knocked him down. PS They are also laughing about Floyd saying Canelo hit him harder. :D

Maidana owned him in so many ways

For the people saying the gloves don't make a difference... I remember a similar glove dispute in the manny pacquiao vs erik morales bout a few years back. The fight morales won manny had to wear those pillows and couldn't hurt morales. The second fight he got his gloves and KO'd morales within 2 rounds. I think that proves the gloves make a world of difference, especially for a puncher. He took maidana's biggest fight neutralizer away and it was an extremely close fight. I think if they rematch and maidana gets his gloves maidana wins. Maybe not by KO, but I guarantee he gets a knockdown or two.

didn't get paid looks like the boxing commission ban the other pair to No the commission said it was OK

... So: you actually suggest that Floyd paid Maidana off in order not to fuck him with those MX gloves? This are you suggesting?

Mayweather probably paid Maidana to wear the other everlast gloves. didn't get paid looks like the boxing commission ban the other pair to

Laughing all the way to the bank you mean. I know I wouldn't want anyone punching on me with those gloves and nor would you. And he'll be dead broke not long after he retires from the sport, and all of his groupies will be gone. They're legal gloves, been used for years, I could care less who wore them because I wear them too. Floyd just upset because he can't punch, I mean, Safety First.
