Maidana video: I'll walk away and not fight if no MX gloves...

[WhenWeWereKings]

This is a bizarre move on Team Maidana's part. It makes, like, 20 percent sense. If Marcos makes more money by faking like he won't fight, fine. But if not.... it makes no sense. Marcos has pretty obviously said he only wants to fight Floyd and no one else. Does this mean he would just quit boxing? And isn't he indirectly saying that he doesn't think he will win without his gloves?

They earned the rematch by fighting great. They let the baby have his bottle and fought a great fight. I think the fans were cheated some amount of carnage that we'll never really know by Maidana not wearing his MX gloves but what I'll never get are the lack of Floyd fans who like or love Marcos(and vice versa, I guess) and the lack of response from Floyd fans to the fight. The fight was more drama filled than all the other big fights of the year!!(IMO, Floyd v. Chino had more drama and tension than Crawford v. Gamboa, Molina v. Matthysse, Lara v. Canelo, Lomachenko v. Salido or Russell, Kamegai v. Guerrero, Brook v. Porter) I think that a couple of those fights were 'better' in particular, Kamegai v. Guerrero and Molina v. Matthysse, but for me, Maidana v. Mayweather was the most tension filled, entertaining bout of the year so far. That is what is so baffling.. don't Floyd Fans want to see Floyd in a great fight? And where are the legions of Maidana Fans? Is this poor dude doomed to B-side status for the next three years till he retires? Can't Mexicans fall in love with this guy already? $esus $hrist, he deserves it. I know Mexicans hate Argentina but.... get over it already Mexicans.

Anyways.... totally got sidetracked. I'm pretty sure Floyd can just switch out Maidana with either Khan, Thurman or ... Matthysse, Porter... Brook on short notice.... Garcia... really, anyone.

Nobody tells Floyd what to do.

Mammon has become everyone's obsession and object of worship. Maidana has enough money already to live a comfortable life. More power to him if he stands by his principles. It makes him the more righteous man.

i would love for Maidana to stand his ground...Floyd really gonna allow another $30mil payday disappear?

Have they signed the contracts yet? If so, both sides need to abide by whatever is in them and shut up.

If not, stick to your guns Marcos. Make Floyd sweat.

you think if the card falls off, Espinoza gets fired the next day?

Can't imagine how much the people and businesses behind it have spent so far promoting this fight. Must be in tens of millions. Of course, Chino would stand to lose huge sums, but the other side would lose truckloads. Network execs might even get fired if the fight gets canceled. All because Floyd da best wants his opponent to wear pillow gloves.

[Divine Hammer]

boycott the fight. if maidana can't use his MX gloves we protest. but if you're going to watch then stream it. don't give phony floyd your hard earned money.

That worked rather well for the Garcia-Salka fight, eh?

[Bullrider]

I hope Maidana sticks to his gun and get what he wants. CAn't stand this Ellerbe guy. His extreme nuthugging should have consequences. Let's see how much this guy loses if the fight gets canceled. He can't have this kind of power. This is like cheating on paying customers.

[Beater_of_ass]

I would love it if Maidana walks puts on the power locks, then right when he is supposed to come to the ring say. The fight is off, I'm not wearing this ****, I'm not getting this fight but I would PAY to see that happen.
