Maidana Turns Out to be a Sellout

Dude made his money. Nothing wrong with him enjoying it. Not sure what the thread starter is talking about being a sell out though. Who'd he sell out? The fans? Nah I'm more then satisfied with the man and his performances. Hope he stays out and makes more money and enjoys his life. You can call it smart but he sold out to mayweather, took a payment for gloves, and though he talked himself into a rematch he didn't do anything in the second fight but show up to collect his check!

Maidana is balling beyond belief at this point. With currency exchange the $5M he made in the Mayweather rematch converted to $85,000,000 in Argentina. Just for that one fight.. Would you work again?? :lol1: Plenty of people too rich to ever go broke (even richer than what Maidana has) still work. It's called being passionate about your craft. But Robert Garcia has talked before about how Maidana only ever boxed to make a living and had no real passion for the sport, so I understand.

Just drink Thunderbird in some alley somewhere Wilders team will pick you and offer you a fight ya but their offer would be be a bus ticket and 500 dollars

He made his millions and retired. I guarantee you would do the same if you was a boxer. He prevented getting brain damage by taking knocks on the head also. Done the right thing, he had a good career.

Yeah **** u Maidana you should have kept fighting and potentially risk your body and your mind just to appease some nerd on boxingscene

Stupid thread. More fighters should take notes and get out of the game at the right time. Maidana did it right

He had a good career and got out with his health and a fortune. Good on him. Exactly this! Best wishes to Maidana in his happy and healthy retirement. Hopefully he is careful with his earnings and never needs to come back.

he was going to retire after the alexander fight! you know that right? hell ive seen robert garcia videos where he says that to chino boxing was never a passion And...out of intellectual curiosity...when was Floyd going to retire and when did he say it wasn't a passion...? And does that mean that you are not trying to win a fight you commit to? Fighters are going to retire all the time. What the f*ck about it? It only counts if they're a Mayweather opponent? The selectivity is painful.

ya...i just saw him ringside at some card recently...which one was it? I don't remember it tbh.

World Champion, been in with some big names Mayweather, Khan, Broner, Ortiz etc some good wins and millions of dollars. Very good career. If he had got with Garcia earlier could of been even better but who cares really he's done what 99% of boxers will never do.

Chino wasn't the most athletic fighter around but he had a good right hand and loads of heart. Boxing was his way to provide for his family and once he hit the lottery with the Floyd fights, it was adios muchachos. Chino was the real deal, which is probably the opposite of a sell-out.

Maidana put everything he had into the sport and he rightfully made his big payday. The notion that any of these guy's wanting to get battered after a certain age and time in boxing is silly. It's prize fighting and the guys who are the best in the game get paid. Good for Maidana and we should all wish him well.

How many of you where on the Maidana bandwagon during the Mayweather fights? Some of you really bought into his shtick, made you think he really wanted to go that extra mile to beat Mayweather! In the end all that cat wanted was a payday, hasn't been in a ring since. Dude has got fat, sitting on his arse in Argentina or wherever he is from. The dude hasn't even been spotted around the sport of boxing at all...completely gone ghost. But I guess that's what people do when they fight Floyd, they prepare for early retirement. Expect more of the same from McGregor. He'll get his Floyd check and say fook contact sports! how is that a sell out? he did his time and made his money, now hes retired in argentina where his millions $US can go a long way. you saying boxers shouldnt retire when theyre young and still have their faculties? would you rather him be the next james toney, holyfield, roy jones, shane mosley ect ect? very few boxers retire before they end up human punching bags.

False. He's promoting fighters and went to some fights in Vegas. ya...i just saw him ringside at some card recently...which one was it?

Maidana is the man. He gave us a lot of great fights throughout the years. Morales, Ortiz, Khan, Broner, Mayweather 1 and many others. He had a low point in his career with that dreadful performance against Alexander, but came back to kill Broner's hype and he had his Rocky moment against Floyd. He retired young, happy and fat, and now he can enjoy the rest of his life without having to give or take any more beatings. What the hell is wrong with that?

Maidanas a living badass One of the few who rode off into the sunset with a fistful of cash And as for not being around boxing he visited the Mayweather gym like 2weeks ago.... http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dvuCgfPWxf4/hqdefault.jpg

Just be grateful he left us with some great fights to rewatch.

I loved Maidana. He always fought his heart out and he was always great to watch. He was as game as they come and he could damn sure fight and punch. He put Broner in his place and gave Mayweather two hard fights. If he has enough money save up from boxing to retire and live comfortably the rest of his life that's wonderful. He deserves the good life and he earned it the hard way.

Are you on bath salts or something hombre?! Chino is the epitome of the litmus test and gave everyone hell except Alexander in which in that fight he trained himself without a exercise coach! That dude and and sell out should never be in the same sentence! You need to check yourself, boxing is not to be played with...just ask Broner!
