This whole glove controversy is getting ridiculous.
Is Floyd wrong for not letting Maidana wear his gloves? Of course hes is, Robert stated they were uncomfortable, but why are people saying he made him wear SPARING GLOVES? He wore 8oz powerlocks who Robert just stated his fighters also wear them and Lopez and Ruslan wore them in there biggest fights.Comment

Al Haymon and the networks (Showtime) would have been finished with Maidana. Maidana will lose it all and Floyd would face minimal repercussions, because between them, Floyd is the indispensable one over at the Showtime/Al Haymon side of things as far as business goes. Everyone knew this, and this is why things happened the way they did and now that floyd has set the precedent, no one will be allowed to use those MX gloves again, and maybe any other gloves floyd deems unacceptable for him.
There was nothing in the contract about the gloves. Maidana could have said "I am walking into the ring first wearing the second pair of commision approved gloves, if you choose not to show up that's on you not me."
What would have Haymon or Showtime done to him then. The public would have known what was up.Comment

"Gloves dont matter."
But he threw away 1.5M just so that Maidana can wear different gloves.
I dont think people here have ever seen the difference between horse hair and all foam. Power Locks might be a "punchers glove" but theres a huge difference between horse hair and foam.Comment

That was Ellerbe that said that to Garcia, not Floyd himself.Comment

There was a source that said it's true and there was a source that declined it. Who's to say which is true or not. Lets just use common sense and logic. Is Maidana going to change his gloves just because Floyd was nervous about them depsite the fact that the commission approved them? That I highly doubt. There had to be some sort of under the table deal that went on for Maidana and Garcia to change gloves.Comment

The false rumor is all you idiots saying it was a false rumor.
Also, the blue gloves Maidana wanted weren't approved because he didn't get the custom color approved by the commission beforehand. Since Mayweather was complaining they used that excuse to not approve them. Had nothing to do with padding.Comment
