Comments Thread For: Marcos Maidana Says He is No Longer Coming Back To Boxing

[MulaKO]

and here's ariza acting like a punk and being way too extra'd out. acting like he's mickey training rocky or something.

Didn’t watch the whole video but fugh me , he looks like he’s going to fughin pass out from exhaustion
It must of been really fughin gruelling to try to come back the way he did
But if he doesn’t feel it better to cut all ties right away
I thought he could of made some decent money especially winning his first fight back , and trying to convince the fans he’s still the old Chino etc etc
I guess we’ll never know

With How PBC is paying fighters he’s probably leaving 8-10 mill on the table for those 3 fights

"But for whatever reason Maidana interrupted the training camp he was doing in Las Vegas, and arrived back in Argentina and told local reporters that he will not return to boxing."

The reason is he's more interested in eating donuts, pizza and other junk food than he is in eating like a non-slob. He doesn't look like a guy who enjoys staying in shape. Some people love strenuous physical activity and others despise it. He must hate working out if he can't pull himself together long enough to earn multi-million dollar paydays. Fvk, I bet a good percentage of Boxing Scene pvssies would get their chitt together for that amount of money.

He's probably making the right decision though. I was expecting him to get slaughtered by any half decent fighter if he returned to the ring.

At least he lost some weight, so nothing wrong.

He looked like utter crap in the videos that were being posted. Dude was just gone for too long and let himself go and gained damn near 100 pounds since his retirement.

Glad he realized this is a bad idea and got out before he could have potentially gotten hurt.

I know a fighter that gained more pounds than that and still came back after 3 years and still beat the baddest man on the planet

Lmao. I’m sure it’ll come back. He’s probably on the Ricky Hatton path. Just enjoy eating what he wants and open a gym

[jackblack008]

lol. may be it was part of a 44 pound weight loss package?

[Tatabanya]

I'm glad Marcos woke up, smelt the coffee, and told Haymon where to shove it!

Indeed I think that Maidana realized that he was going to be paid peanuts, that's why he quit his comeback.

[Oldskoolg]

his biggest mistake was retiring when he did. he could've had 2-3 paydays more and then retire. too old and out of shape now.

100% agreement

Probably for the best for his own wellbeing both mentally and physically. Good fighter in his day but the right choice was made.
