Comments Thread For: Team Maidana Will Touch Gloves Issue For Mayweather

[noStylez]

Maidana will sign the contract no matter what gloves he wears...it's another pay day.

Did everyone forget NSAC approved the red Everlast MX and Floyd still *****ed?

I don't.

If it's true that "Mayweather agreed to pay Maidana an additional $1.5 million to change gloves" (as alleged above) I'll lose all my interest in Mayweather's future fights... Even if Mayweather agrees with the gloves, nobody can guarantee that he's not coming with other exotic last minute demands -- such as forcing Maidana to wear sandals for a $2 million payment...
No, thanks.

if this 1.5m glove issue is for real....then...

this is really serious and very disturbing, to say the least...

i am afraid that such issue is like an "accommodation for a price"......

and the nature of an accommodation could easily turn from a healthy to a dirty one...

is boxing heading to the bottom mud?....

[QUOTE=boxinggod101;14721907]Than explain why he refused the authorised ones? Its hard to defend. Floyd outboxes him easy, but this glove thing made him look like a real b*tch...[/QUOTE
if someone tried to use gloves without padding once wouldn't feel skeptical about all of their gloves? Maidana's team that created this issue in the first place. People are so quick to hate on Mayweather that that fact is dismissed. Maidana tries to act like that didn't happen either. They got caught cheating, period!! If he has KO power, he has KO power in any gloves.

There is nothing to discuss, it's MW way or he will find someone who see it his way. This time Maidana won't get that million dollar bonus for changing gloves.

very true.. floyd will lay down his demands and maidana will either have to accept it or move along.. sad but true.

Team Maidana already earned some good money in the first fight, they really should say "our gloves or no fight", just gamble man cause if Team May doesnt agree who they gonna fight? It isnt a coincedence that they picked the rematch and i dont think that Floyd can pull a Rod Balsam at this stage in his career.

They can push back the date and fight Amir Khan, Cotto, or even Lara (if he beats Canelo). There's Thurman too. With Maidana, if he doesn't agree, who is HE going to fight and make the same payday and get the same exposure and attention from the fans? Pacquaio is out of the question.

Yup, he will be replaced if he doesn't agree. He has less leverage to wield than the first time around. He has no belt to use as leverage, and officially lost the last one.

So the $1.5m thing for gloves was bull**** that people ran with. Shocker.
