Floyd paid Maidana 1.5 mil to not wear MX gloves?

[Teetotaler]

He took money instead of glory. Cant blame him. Hes nothing but a gate keeper

[Gentblue]

This came out during the fight and he denied it if I recall.... Floyd don't like horse hair because the first set made him skittish of MX gloves.

[RetroSpeed05]

Could be. It just seems too much, and hard to believe.

It is here Robert says they wanted to first give 700k and Robert said no fight then, so Floyd gave 1.5 mil.

But Maidana tried to cheat doeee stupid fl0mos

[SplitSecond]

Yea its been known. But you'll still get the stains coming in to tell you it was all the commission.

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.

My friend, don't be suckered into easy trolling or misguided information. I'm gonna roll in on this like a pimp and explain...

1.) Custom gloves can always be suspect as it's only about the total weight of the gloves for regulation. All the parts of a glove are weighed before being assembled... it's rather easy to focus on the distribution of weight.

2.) Robert Garcia comes off as super shady for exaggerating the scene where they're ''punching'' in the glove to test the padding as if that were Kovalev style hitting the pavement or a wall...

3.) Since Garcia illustrates that as being unfair, as if 2-3 guys in the original video testing the pressure of the padding would actually break in the glove... in front of industry right there and then... FFS cmon..lol

4.) Why didn't Garcia, because he felt that scene as ''suspect'' didn't cause a scene there or at least say something as to not break in the gloves? He just stood quiet because the reality is he doesn't know if one of Chino's people or someone in GBP had something to do with the custom padding... This is why Robert rather stay quiet which is unusual for a trainer defending his fighter for a major title fight..

5.) If Garcia was completely confused about the situation or mad about the accusation he could've taken Floyd's gloves there and made a scene too that they were not equally distributed as well, but he didn't. Therefore, Garcia would just make a case that it's all subjective and a plot, but he didn't use that the same thing against Floyd's Grant gloves. Garcia coming off as shady...

6.) Lastly, Robert Garcia and Ellerbe were playing hardball with bluffs or else no fight. There's no way Floyd would cancel a bout in Vegas... even affiliates at the MGM wouldn't like that and would ruin the integrity of the entire promotion. If Floyd would cancel the fight he would lose a big percentage of his following coming to Vegas again since nobody wants to think the possibility of a cancelled MAJOR Title Fight.

7.) Even a glove maker was on hand at the glove selection and said Chino's gloves were suspect, Garcia stayed quiet..

8.) So as Robert says it would take more than 750K to commence the fight, since Robert wasn't walking out with Chino, therefore cancelled. Garcia himself said in this video ''it's his responsibility to negotiate'' in the best interest for his camp and Chino. So the only way to fight was to continue ''negotiating'' as Robert said, and thus it took 1.5 million to have Robert and Chino to agree WITH THE FIGHT, not necessarily the other gloves that GBP had on hand as alternates, the black ones shown, Everlast Pro Powerlocks.

The commision approved the gloves. Team Mayweather did not. It really is that simple.
