Floyd pays 1.5m to Chino for "safety" pillow gloves

Cocaine is a Hellava drug.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78iBz6Gmpb8 3:30 As close as we'll ever get to the truth. Chino had every right to use his gloves, but took 1.5 million to fight in Powerlocks. That's that. Now. "TBE"... total BS exposed?... "TBE" has to pay a million bucks to fight with pillows? What kind of coward does that? How much is Maidana getting paid this time to fight yet again in Powerlocks? See fools like you are what's wrong with boxing. You throw out BS without verifying the facts.

Powerlock's are just as much of a puncher glove as the MX's are. This comment shows exactly how little knowledge of boxing this dude has.

this has never been confirmed. larry merchant is the most trusted source that i know that says that high level people told him it happened. merchant isn't in the game the way he used to be, and he doesn't like floyd mayweather. he could be mistaken or disingenuous. i'd lean on merchant being truthful, but we cannot say for sure that maidana got any money to use the other gloves, nevermind 1.5 million. 1.5 million dollars is A LOT of money. it's enough money that it would be hard / extremely illegal to cover it up. Please stop with the 1.5 million lie the extra 1.5 million was for ppv revenue, Ellerbe has stated chino did get a 6 figure check but of course that video is gone and yall ran with a lie....................

Then why are people acting like Powerlock gloves are "pillow gloves" or "sparring gloves" when they're clearly sold as a hybrid puncher/boxer glove? The boy got paid extra money so he needs to pipe down, that's the reality of things and life. Don't take that extra money and stand up for yourself if that's what you want to do, but that's not what Maidana went with. Powerlock's are just as much of a puncher glove as the MX's are. I have a feeling a lot of you didn't even know the difference between the two before this whole ordeal. You guys probably though Everlast only made one glove. Stop...just stop it. :)

Dropped a UD to a brawler? Are you really that slow? So gloves with less padding would have increased Maidana's boxing ability alone? Please, please do tell me how that works. do you really think that's what we mean when we refer to them as a "puncher's" glove? why do you ellerbe clones keep asking that rhetorical question as a counter argument when it isn't one? gloves with less padding will make whatever he lands hurt more, you simpleton. just ask floyd's lil' bro.

i've faced harder punchers before but he gotta wear these extra padded gloves doe "aint no padding in em gloves, no wonder hes droppin sonbiches, ain't no padding in em!" calm the fk down Fraud! :lol1:

It shows what a pathetic state our sport is in... Its blatantly trying to alter an outcome, the boxing commission should step in and rule this out.

Too much whining in this site. No one points a gun on your forehead. You don't have to watch the fight. I won't. I'd rather stay away from these Mayweather/Pac threads. Can't wait to see them gone, gone, gone. People need to focus on other fights or fighters. Haymon/Espinoza are getting away with mismatched fights after another because fans are too focused on May/Pac. Guerrero didn't fight Thurman. Garcia and Peterson didn't fight each other. Broner and Matthysse are not fighting again but are on the same card. When will this end? I know what you mean. How much longer do we have to tolerate manny v algieri ppv's? Terrible.

Notice how you couldn't refute my original point? You never had one.

Point is if you were standing in one place and I punched you in the face with one set of gloves, your going to be in trouble. If I swapped gloves and punched you in the same fashion, your going to be in hurt too. The gloves aren't going to save you from the flush punch that I land. There isn't special technology in the gloves to absorb the force of the punch saving you from being stunned, hurt, or affected. The flush punch should hurt you with either set of gloves. your right hand in a horsehair glove will do more damage to me than your right hand in a foam glove. it is that simple. over the course of a long fight, where you're taking several dozens of punches, it absolutely matters.

that's absolutely ridiculous. the amount / type of padding obviously has an effect. floyd mayweather's fans are the only people who claim otherwise, and only in the last few months. I wonder how many of these people have actually been hit with different kind of gloves.

already been denied buddy, and if thats the case then no one should cry about gloves.. chinos choice Here's the spin. Just like it was "Canelo's choice" to do a catchweight....lol

Yes I have, I actually live close to kings gym in Oakland where the guy in your avatar be at. I still feel that if you can knock someone out with one pair, wearing the other pair should produce a similar result. The more padding isn't going to save you from taking a hard shot to the head and not getting hurt by it. Floyd just being a dlck about it for psychological reasons. that's absolutely ridiculous. the amount / type of padding obviously has an effect. floyd mayweather's fans are the only people who claim otherwise, and only in the last few months.

It's actually funny how Floyd continually complained about Oscar giving him pillow gloves and now he's doing the same thing....lol. Floyd's blatant hypocrisy owns his own fans. Pillow gloves? Oscar made him wear Cleto Reyes gloves... But Oscar stipulated the gloves in the initial contract -- he didn't let Floyd train with his gloves (Winnings) and later made him change the gloves with 24 hours prior to the fight... Or did he?

already been denied buddy, and if thats the case then no one should cry about gloves.. chinos choice damage control :lol1: "he paid maidana money, so it's cool."

have you ever had your hand in a pro boxing glove? 8oz gloves are tiny. having horsehair over the knuckles vs foam is a huge difference.
