Comments Thread For: Marcos Maidana Admits Money Was Cause To Kill Comeback

PBC cant afford to pay Maidana $150k, money is getting tight when you need to pay off so many fighters for turning down so many big fights on other networks and when you have to pay off media so that they dont totally shit on you for ruining all the big fights out there.

Dazn doesnt have anyone at 147 or 154. So unless maidana was coming back at middleweight there is no real point going with dazn.

dazn has munguia he's a face first brawler! him vs maidana at 154 is a main event! slug fest! give maidana a couple of gimme fights at 154 and you're set! watch fishnets de la hoya try to sign maidana as opponent for munguia.

Haymon was trying to cheat Maidana, disgusting!

Pacquiao is always a big cash cow every fighter wants him.

He still had another 40lbs to go, lol. Beyond that, you here very little about Haymon paying anyone advances to begin with (Haymon would basically work with a fighter for free until they were earning over $150k per fight, that was the rumor anyway).

With Maidana openly admitting that his heart wasn't really in a comeback, Maidana not really hurting for money (tbh), Maidana already seeing $35k+, and Maidana simply choosing to go home (as he did), why would any sane person risk another $100k?

Maidana took someone's $35k+, used it up, and now went home. Is he going to refund the advance spent? Likely no

It depends on the circumstances.
If Chino is telling the truth that he was promised 150k then he should have been given it. If Al and or Tom Brown didn't have confidence in Chino losing the weight and or fighting then don't make the promises.

Obviously, there's 2 side's to every story so I'll wait and see what the other side says.

If what Chino says is proven to be true,it's definitely a bad look for PBC. Boxing has highly competitive promotional battles and Arum and Hearn can use this in negotiations to lower PBC's credibility.

Idk on one hand give the man the money since he gonna bring in alot. But at the same time why risk money on a guy who mite not keep up his end of the bargain

[slimPickings]

Get lost already!

Good riddance.

Guess what, I Don't Care, get a job!

[Redd Foxx]

Wish I remembered who the dumbasses were who told me Maidana could just take some low profile tune-ups and that he wouldn't care about the money.
