Maidana earned more than $5.7 million for the Mayweather fight

[New England]

Those wasnt factory sealed though..

yes they were, dude.

the commission approved them. they were in the custody of the commission. floyd saw what they looked like, and said no.



you're trying to tell me that the commission had it in for floyd, a guy who makes their state millions of dollars every year?

right.

Well at least he got paid for it. He shouldn't be whining about it then. And if he takes the fight again and doesn't pick his gloves then whines about it, then that's just ******. Floyd tho...smh that's some ***** ****.

Exactly! I said the same thing following the fight. If Madiana and Garcia sold out and accepted money to change gloves then they gave up every right to cry and moan about it!

here it is nice and slow

THE ... COMMISSION ... APPROVED ... THE ... GLOVES ... MAIDANA ... WANTED ... TO ... WEAR.


Get it? Or is it still to complicated?

and if mayweather didn't fight because of the gloves? his team threatened to pull out of the fight, if you recall.



mayweather's team used their position to keep maidana from wearing completely legal boxing gloves.

that is what it is.

imo what likely happened is a double hit ... floyd said no fight with those gloves plus if you wear the pillows instead I'll throw you some extra cash ... carrot and stick.

chino is not at floyd's level to demand things, i don't understand why people keep saying "if you took the money don't complain". if he didn't agree to wear those gloves he could have ended up with nothing, why risking it? chino isn't making 30 million per fight like floyd

You obviously dont know how this works.

If Floyd would have refused to fight Chino with the gloves that the commission approved, then not only would Floyd not had made anything, he would have also gotten sued by everyone involved in the event.

Floyd would have been sued had he not went thru with the event. Chino could have told Floyd to go kick rocks I'm fighting with these gloves.

and that would also leave chino with nada and possibly ruin any future fights he has with floyd... i think the money was more important to chino.

[Mr. Philadel]
