Floyd paid Maidana 1.5 mil to not wear MX gloves?

[Metho_4u]

Now, keep in mind, if Garcia were to say something about Manny, or gaylovekin, etc...then all of you would jump all over the guy...sort of like when Roach acted like an ass before the Rios fight and in the process of trying to act like ass, got a snap kick in his chest for it...but then it was allllll Garcia's teams fault.

Yup--this is what is meant by "A" side. Maidana's team should've bowed their backs when Floyd sprung this on them on the eve of the first fight. Floyd would've looked weak, and the hate would've made a future fight massive. So, it's technically maidana's team at fault here.
This is the United States of amnesia. People forget that Floyd has done tons of shady ****. Did he school Gatti? Yes. But go back and watch the first round. The ref clearly yells "stop punching", both fighters stop, and Floyd takes a full force punch at a completely unprotected Gatti. Go back and watch it again. That type of full-force, unseen punch is a game-changer at this level ("but it's pruhtek yoself at aw times, Larry", and blah, blah (Floyd knew what he was doing))
Floyd used to keep two or three fighters up in the air, and drag his selection out until less than two months before the fight date.
He knew he was giving them far less time to get ready for the biggest fight of their life.
Completely unprofessional nonsense with Marquez.
Not fighting manny in '09 when the drumbeat was loudest.

Strategically smart? Sure.
Shady as ****, and deserving of ridicule from people who prefer a fair contest? Yup.

I'm thinking 1.5m was the total pay, including the fee for the change of gloves. Can't believe Floyd would pay him 1.5m in addition to the agreed on purses.

He says "**** yea he was happy with 1.5 million dollars extra"

Thanks. Didn't catch that part.

Don't believe the hype bro. What is funny, as it will take some to sink it in, Garcia made drama for the rematch about the gloves... saying he didn't let them use the gloves "before," which he didn't complain in the rematch for a Garcia fail... Maidana used the same Powerlocks in the rematch. Only difference was Chino's logo.

So therefore, Chino agreed on both occasions about the gloves!!! Did industry defend Chino the second bout when he lost regarding MX?

Actually iirc it was the commission that denied them.

The comission then approved a regular pair of Everlast MX gloves. And Mayweather said no anyway. Everlast brand owner said Mayweather was BSing.

I got it. For me, it was more like I found hard to believe Floyd paid 1.5m just for change of gloves. I don't care about Garcia's drama at all.

Damn Sir, you are absolutely correct! If you read the art of war by sun tzu floyd has applied alot of the strategies in the book.

[BOXEO _]

ain't no padding........daaayuuuuumn

[Lineal Champ]

Maidana got 1.5 mil to wear pillows which equaled his purse for the first fight.

1.5+1.5+5 million for rematch

Not bad for a boxer who lost to Amir Khan and Devon Alexander previously...
