    Maidana should play hard ball and ask for a percentage of Floyd's purse for the gloves..

    Getting 10 or 20% would give Maidana millions... Who else is Floyd gonna fight with this so close to September

      I think it's not about how much Maidana can earn on this fight. What Maidana should think is how much will he earn after he wins big in this fight.

      This is a window of opportunity to take it all. If he wears he's punchers gloves he's chances of winning becomes possible and open the gates for bigger purses in the future.

      It's not now he should think. It's after he wins that is where The big bucks comes in. So let Floyd get the bulk of the purse. He shouldn't worry on how little he is gonna get in this fight, but insist in the punchers gloves coz that will be he's ticket to real prize fighting money 'A' side.

      Dethroning Floyd will make him A- side.

        You guys are insane. How you gonna boycott when you are the clear b side? You are getting paid nearly as much in one fight as your whole career combined, you have a chance to knock off an ATG, and you are going to boycott it over gloves? Hell No. Fans talk so crazy nowdays. It was the same thing about saying TR & GB should put fights on the same date as Floyd. Why? Just to say they did and took some buys away. Its not how things work.

        You say who is Floyd going to fight? Anyone. He has a guaranteed contract and anyone would want to fight for that payday and chance at history. Maidana has spent his whole career trying to get these fights which is why he's talkign about retirment. This is the pinnacle. Unless he gets a Pac fight then nothing is higher. You going to turn that down? Stop talking dumb.

        Look, the gloves thing sucks for him but life isnt fair and he is the b side. If you win, then you get to call the shots next time or against your next opponent. Everyonee understands taht. Floyd had to bow to Oscar the 1st time. It comes with the territory. Cotto had to bow to Floyd & Pac. Sergio had to bow to Cotto. Its how it works. Its not going to be fair but you can still win just like alot of people almost think Maidana did the 1st time. Floyd is only going to get older so why turn down a huge pay day and a chance to be the only guy to beat Floyd? Are you ******? Floyd would easily fight someone else

            I remember growing up when I used to be young lol. I play with older basketball players in the half court basketball. Coz I was 12 and they were 18. They would tell me they won't guard me so I can play with them.

            It's like Floyd was the kid who can't play boxing if he's opponent will wear he's preferred gloves. Dang! But the thing is he's the senior and he's acting like the kid lol

            Pussay much?

              but did you say that when Oscar made him wear certain gloves and put him in a certain sized ring? Did you care when Prove had Algeri in the small ring that benefits the puncher? Did Algeri still find a way to win even though he fought in a small ring against a big puncher? Im not saying Floyd is right but its not always going to be fair and if you arent in a position to call the shots then you just have to beat him at his own game.

              Still, Im not turning down a shot to beat MJ in basketball just because of some stipulations when its for big money and I have the chance to knockoff one of the best. Im not turning down a big money Pac fight just because its in the Philippines. Im not turning it down for ring size, gloves, or anything. I win then I call the shots after.

              You are hurting Maidana far more than helping by telling him to turn it down. He deserves the payday, he deserves the chance at history, and alot of people think he can win. Also, he has damn near 20 pounds on Floyd. Floyd fights at that disadvantage every fight and no one cares. He still finds a way to win

                This is a rematch.

                Rematch is for proving and removing ALL DOUBTS you earned the first fight.

                You can't prove nada if you let your opponent wear pillow gloves. Case closed.

                  And yes I'm one of the guys who think he has a good shot at winning WITH PUNCHERS GLOVES THAT IS, and he's whole country s behind him too.

                  It's not just money for him. He can have it all.

                    no he cant. Why do people think Floyd has to fight him? He doesnt. How can people say the biggest name, biggest money maker in the sport has to fight Maidana of all people. He can fight alot of different guys still. Maidana is the one losing out an like you said, it would be big for his country. You take the fight. Now, do I think he should try to pull all the strings in his power to use the gloves he wants?

                    Absolutely but boycotting the fight is not a string and he would just be replaced. Floyd will be damn near 38 by time the fight comes around and Maidana will have nearly 20 pounds on him. The gloves shouldnt be the end all be all for him to win the fight

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

                      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 heals 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!
                      Boo hoo .. Forget the gloves and go in for the payday he's there for..
