    Still, it doesn't make it right especially from a p4p number 1.

      Contract already signed, he will get sued then he will be forced to fight a few more years. The Gloves should have been negotiated in the contracts BEFORE SIGNING IT! You don't try to do something ****** like this now over some ***in GLOVES

        Don't take the title of the thread literal.

        We all know the contract is signed, but Garcia's camp is willing to wager everything with punchers gloves on.

        That takes guts to say all or nothing.

        That shows a puncher needs his punchers gloves.

        That shows Maidana is being handicapped.

        And you know what Floyd said about the wager?

        No way in hell I will allow it.

        A coward would say that.

          Don't get me wrong, I think Mayweather should let him have his gloves and just going out and Box circles around him just because HE CAN and to prove a point. That would eliminate any excuses!

          That being said, the fact that Maidana needs "SPECIAL GLOVES" does make me curious as to why he is so stuck on wearing this gloves

            You can't be this ******?

            Do you realize what the difference is between Mayweather leaving a Maidana fight and Maidana leaving a Mayweather fight? I am sure you know the difference, I still have faith on this site.

            In case you really don't know, god forbid, Floyd gets the same guarantee no matter who he fights. Maidana can not get $3-4million fighting any one else unless it's Pacquiao. And being a Haymon fighter, that fight is nearly impossible to make unless Maidana drops Haymon.

              Use your own glove choice not be played again by a coward boxer who is taking away your only advantage.

              Which is your power. He is taking away your main weapon which is your power. Use your punchers gloves you win this.

              Remember the time. Floyd looked like a loser and had to sit on his heels before the ring announcement who won that night. That's how painful your punches were. Now imagine you wearing your Mx gloves Maidana. You will truly be king.

              Floyd doesn't want you to wear your punchers gloves coz he knows it's a trump card and can turn the tide. He wouldn't insist on it if its not important.

              Without it Maidana, it will just be same story as the first. Close, but no cigar. With punchers gloves you win this!

              What is the essence of a rematch?

              Rematch is for proving and removing ALL DOUBTS you won the first fight. No doubts means, no what ifs.. Including the what if Maidana wore his MX GLOVES?


              What is the true essence of sports?

              Sports is all about the obstacle of overcoming adversity in the spirit of fairness and sportsmanship.



              Is handicapping someone fair?

              NO!
              A few days before GGG fights a real challenger and you make this thread. Sad.

                Floyd is being a total ***** about the MX gloves situation. If team Maidana gets approval to wear whichever gloves of their choosing, then they should go ahead and do it. Team Maidana are giving Floyd too much power. What would Floyd do if team Maidana were to stand their ground on wearing the approved gloves? He wouldn't do **** about it except for throwing his usual temper tantrums. I'm going to call a spade a spade. Floyd shouldn't ***** about Maidana's rough/dirty tactics when he has the tendency to use his elbows in situations where he needs to push off to create space. It's still a dirty move.

                You can't ***** and cry about another fighter using dirty tactics when you're doing the same thing. At the same time, people shouldn't ***** about the ref being too strict this time around and not allowing either fighters to fight dirty. I don't mind watching midcard level dirty fights, but if you're paying $70 to watch a PPV main event fight, then it better be a clean competitive display like Mayweather-Cotto was. All that elbowing, punching to the thigh, behind the back of the head, tackle, low blows, etc, should be prohibited in a main event PPV fight.

                  It's not special. Its a commission approved punchers gloves. Punchers glovers for puncher/fighter. Pillow gloves for boxers with brittle hands like Floyd. BOTH ARE NOT SPECIAL.

                  It's preference of gloves to what type of boxer or fighter you are.

                    Maidana isnt going to turn away from a pay day like this over the gloves issue.

                      We know that. Floyd had Maidana's hands wrapped in shackles when Maidana accepted being handicapped, but as a boxing fan. This aint right and defintely aint fairgame.


                      Floyd Con artist of boxing...ripping off true boxing fans. TBE in ducking.
