Maidana earned more than $5.7 million for the Mayweather fight

Floyd would have been sued had he not went thru with the event. Chino could have told Floyd to go kick rocks I'm fighting with these gloves.

and again chino would be left with nothing and possibly wont be in any major events in the future had he pulled something like that.. u gotta remember chino is not in a position where he can do shiiet like that and have people forget about it.

there is a video on youtube showing what exactly happened. Google it!

Ahh, youtube....of course!

yes they were, dude.

the commission approved them. they were in the custody of the commission. floyd saw what they looked like, and said no.



you're trying to tell me that the commission had it in for floyd, a guy who makes their state millions of dollars every year?

right.

the first pair werent but the others were. The MX glove that was approved floyd and his team still had a problem with.

dude got paid handsomely for it. I dont get the deal. They werent the MX gloves but they damn sure wasnt winnings thats for sure.

floyd pays chino off to use a different set of gloves

flomos: floyd wasnt scurred, he was just doing chino a favor by giving him more money on top of what he's getting already.

floyd pays marquez off on the scale

flomos: floyd wasnt over the weight limit, he just didnt feel like getting on the scale so he paid marquez off.

so?

floyd mayweather is worth a ton of money. he has the leverage.


all he's got to say is that he injured himself. it's easy, especially when you are the most important sporting figure in freaking las vegas.




chino tells floyd to "kick rocks."
doesn't get paid.
loses the lawsuit. never gets a big fight again.


here's what happened:
floyd's team refuses a pair of gloves from the factory, the same MX glove that dozens of top fighters wear.
he tells team chino to use his gloves, or not to fight. he also tells them that he will pay them for using the gloves with more padding.
team chino, lacking any other option, takes the money.

they couldn't just tell floyd that they're wearing MX. they couldn't risk losing that fight, which is what they'd be doing.

dude, stop f#cking lying.

the first set of gloves had an argentinian color scheme. they were comission approved, and came straight from the factory. mayweather refused them, and every other MX glove.

MX gloves for chino were in the freaking contract. floyd literally paid to keep chino out of them.

glove gate happened. it's a black eye on mayweather's legacy. floyd will not be known as a fighter who took all comers, but a fighter who was moved deliberately.

That is a great, simple and accurate breakdown.

Loses the lawsuit? Floyd would have gotten sued by the MGM Grand, every single sponser involved in the event, Showtime, and team Maidana. Not only will Floyd not make his $32mil guarantee, he will have to pay back 10's of millions of dollars that was invested into this event by the parties involved. Sure Chino would have lost on out on his 1.5mil but he would still have options. There was no way Floyd was going to cancel this fight over gloves and be nearly $100mil in the hole after all is said and done. He bluffed and Chino took the money. It is what is it.
