Comments Thread For: R. Garcia: Why Can't Maidana Use Approved MX Gloves?

[check hook]

He's wearing Everlast Powerlocks despite NAC approving the red MX's. Floyd's team still didn't like the red MX's and it was suggested that they paid off Maidana to wear the Powerlocks.

D*ck move by Floyd. Doing himself no favours at all.

It would be awesome if maidana would still come out wearing the red mx gloves, and give a big F U to floyd as to say keep your money I'm here to fight, now whatcha gonna do.

B.S. Broner is wearing Reyes gloves and Molina wearing the red Everlast gloves that looked like the ones Maidana wanted to use.

[BOXEO _]

he sort of did. floyd wanted maidana to fight with his "orthopedic" pillow grants originally.

Maidana isn't wearing punchers gloves, Floyd got his way.

I cant wait to hear what exactly Garcia says, because everything that legally needed to be on his side was.

Money talks, as you say team Maidana didn't have to do anything but wear the gloves they wanted and the commission approved.


The only thing that can explain it is that Mayweather paid them off, or that Garcia is a complete moron

[Pu·gi·list]

Robert Garcia is an idiot for not standing his ground. Really disappointed for letting Floyd overrule the commission.

Guys Garcia is just the Trainer he doesnt call the shots business/career wise...thats his manager Sebastian Contursi and Al Haymon job.

I am sure Al Haymon a lot to do with the change plus the money.

Team Maidana have no backbone.

[Porter's Dad]

Paying off an opponent to wear less power-friendly gloves. You couldn't make it up.

[paulf]

It was up to Maidana at the end. Knowing him, I bet he'd agree to fight Floyd with ****ing pillows on his hands, he just wants to fight.

What a f@cking shame. I lost all my respect for Floyd. Thats the worst sh@t I ever seen.
