Maidana: Mayweather payed me 2 extra millions to use pillow gloves

[KillaMane26]

They agreed.........

[pasawayako]

lol. I'm not surprise. Floyd is the greatest cheater in history of boxing.

[Robbie Barrett]

this is not true. Commission said they were fine and then Mayweather said he was going to cancel the fight.

Wrong. The commission agreed the custom blue gloves were dodgy. Mayweather then paid Maidana to use the same gloves as him. Instead of some more gloves that were the same make as the dodgy blue ones.

[MDPopescu]

It was hours before the fight and Maidana was probably just warming up and thinking about the fight and letting his managers make the deal.

1) which fight?... the first?

2) when it comes to an extra-contractual "gentleman's agreement" you just go and hear with your own ears what the other "gentleman" proposes, in order to agree in in your turn...


... ok, whatever...

[Robbie Barrett]

... yes, it was exactly like that... the commission said they were dodgy, and that's why Floyd paid extra 2 million...

this is not true. Commission said they were fine and then Mayweather said he was going to cancel the fight.

Floyd threatened to call off the fight if Maidana didn't change his gloves, talk about a b!tch move. Marcos got robbed that night to boot.

Fact, the NSAC APPROVED THOSE EVERLAST MX gloves. Not saying I approve of them .
FACT, some of Floyd's boxers used MX gloves in their fights a week before in Las Vegas. NSAC approves Everlast MX gloves for title fights even.

FACT, Robert Garcia or Maidana WERE NOT SUSPENDED for trying to wear those gloves because THEY WERE APPROVED by NSAC.

FACT, Robert Garcia then grabbed a pair of RED Everlast MX gloves, NOT CUSTOM MADE FOR MAIDANA, as substitute . Those RED ONE WERE ALREADY APPROVED BY THE NSAC.

FACT, Maidana's manager then took the money for Maidana to wear POWERLOCK EVERLAST GLOVES.

FACT- The Powerlock gloves were too tight for Maidana.
Garcia was allowed to cut the wrist area so the gloves would fit Maidana . Same thing happened to MAB when he was forced by Morales to wear Winning gloves . He threatened not to come out of the locker . They compromised and MAB's trainer was allowed to cut the writs .


Those are facts. Not an argument who would have won.

Feel free to add your TECHNICAL facts.

"The commission on Friday had ruled that a pair of custom blue Everlast MX gloves were invalid and couldn't be worn. Mayweather claimed there was no padding in the knuckles of those gloves."

Maidana tried to wear dodgy gloves. = FACT.

[bballchump11]

Because Freddie and Pac would no have any of it .

And Pacquiao still got schooled 10-2. Shows how little importance the gloves made.

[MDPopescu]

Maidana tried to wear dodgy gloves. = FACT.

... sure... and as Everlast MX gloves were found invalid, MXs were banned from pro boxing and Everlast stopped manufacturing MX gloves...

... and Flyod paid an extra $2 million for that...

[LA_2_Vegas]

That whole thing really pissed me off

I really wanted to see that fight and then at the last minute Floyd pulls that crap.

[OCPancho]

And Pacquiao still got schooled 10-2. Shows how little importance the gloves made.

So why make the other guys wear gloves of your choice then? Pac had to wear Winning gloves in the first fight with EM then wore Reyes in the rematch and busted EM's nose and face pretty good. Is that a good argument gloves make a difference ?

I'll be blunt. I've had a LOT OF GLOVES.
I've checked many fight gloves.
The best fight gloves ever imo were the 80's Winning gloves before they went super soft .

You really need to try these fight gloves and argue they don't make a difference .
I don't think you know a lot about gloves.
I'd be shocked if you even know how to wrap hands .

That after they muscled the NSAC.

Maidana and Robert Garcia were not suspended .
If they tried to use TAMPERED GLOVES, they would have been suspended.
