Comments Thread For: Maidana: I Didn't Get $1.5 Million To Wear Floyd's Gloves

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Marcos Maidana has rejected reports that Floyd Mayweather Jr. paid him $1.5 million dollars to use a different pair of gloves for their May fight, which Mayweather won with a twelve round majority decision.

Following the official weigh-in, Mayweather rejected Maidana's selection of the Everlast MX gloves. According to Mayweather, the gloves had little to no padding around the knuckle area. After Maidana selected a different pair of Everlast MX gloves, and they were approved by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Mayweather still rejected them. After a long standoff, Maidana was forced to cave and selected a different style of Everlast gloves.

Yes you did because someone told someone who then told someone else and it got to NSB so there is no going back now

Uhh.. You had a choice Maidana, you could've said F it then no fight and called Floyd's bluff.

theres no way floyd was serious about canceling the fight, he was calling chinos bluff, they shoulda kept pressing til the last minute and stood firm, floyds mind games won, had he canceled that fight showtime would lose so much money not to mention the backlash and lawsuits from ppl who paid, floyd was not serious and chino shouldve known that

Mayweather probably gave him another $1.5 just to say this. Real talk. I don't put it pass Floyd. A p*ssy ***** with money would do something like that.

Chino fell for it, he could use whatever gloves he want, floyd aint ****** enough to cost showtime millions.

if this is true, then it further illustrates the fact that a manager (Haymon, or anyone else for that matter) cannot fairly represent both sides of a fight.

A manager that was truly looking out for Maidana's interests would have said "fine, no fight then" and sued Floyd for breach of contract
