Should Maidana accept a rematch without MX gloves?

[Stark777]

You prefer Maidana to REJECT a high million dollar payday just because he can't use a certain style of 8 oz gloves? Obviously Maidana disagrees with you because he entered that ring without his preferred gloves already.

Personally, I prefer Floyd to man up and accept fighting Maidana with his usual puncher gloves, but I think that's asking a lot.

Not interested in any Floyd's fights anymore, after Saturday...
The guy ruined even the illusion of "competition".

What you're not understanding is that this was all done in the name of "an even playing field". You can't have one fighter such as Maidana being comfortable with his opponents choice of gloves while floyd isn't. It's not fair and it's definitely not safe.

no actually the night before the fight your god fraud decided to bypass the commission and think he's bigger than the rules and the contract. it was "different gloves or no fight" wtf is this? name one other time in boxing history where the fckng day before the fight the "A side" said "you wear the gloves I want you to wear or no fight!" then storms out of the building like a pu$$y a$$ b*tch and cries "no wonder these fighters be dyin'" and you fanboy suck it all up and repeat it.

go ahead ill wait

Maidana fought a dirty fight tried to cheat all fight long,lost his title..and if he is offered a rematch he better shut the **** up and accept it or he can **** off..that simple

***** your boy uses forearms and pushes.

Yes this is the silliness ppl want to believe. And that's fine. But it's still silliness. Gloves weren't gonna suddenly give Maidana the ability to knock Floyd out.

But they were going to give him the ability to put Floyds health in danger? Explain please.

Should Maidana reject a high million dollar payday for a rematch, just because he can't use his favorite gloves or not? Most in the thread agrees that he should accept the payday regardless. And if a rematch happens, I guarantee that Maidana will accept wearing whatever Floyd says to wear.

You can go back to criticizing Floyd over the gloves all you want though. That's fine. Don't have a problem with that.

it absolutely made a difference...take Tiger's custom clubs away and make him play with another set and tell me it wouldn't affect him...just from the mental aspect of being comfortable with your equipment, it makes a difference

Did you know all baseball bats have the same diameter at the barrel end and the same diameter at the handle? Not sure if you follow baseball but to all the batters, it's just a wooden stick anyways and all you have to do is swing. Signed, a floyd fan.

But seriously, there are many different types of bats with different dimensions based on what you feel most comfortable with in your hand. Some guys like the weight at the barrel end while some like the weight distribution to be more even throughout. Some like a fatter handle while some prefer a thinner one. But let a floyd fan tell it, and it doesn't really make a difference. Same with gloves. "It didn't matter doe". So why the big deal if it doesn't matter?

Who said he should?...

The only thing is I don't care anymore what do they do -- their money, their business...

You watch this kind of fights if you like...

I think that would be a Winky Wright type move. Why sabotage your chance at getting another $3-4million? Another Floyd fight would further set Maidana's post career life financially. If Floyd is giving you the rematch, just take, it'll be more PPV's from people who did not buy the first fight but regret it and would buy the rematch. Besides, how many fighters have gotten a rematch at Floyd? Castillo, that's it. Maidana would be in good company as one of only two fighters that ever gave Floyd such a tough fight that a rematch happened.

He has a better chance at asking for a slightly higher guarantee and getting it.

So now you're against an even playing field. Odd considering you've been crying all these years about fighters being on the same plane with eachother.
