Maidana earned more than $5.7 million for the Mayweather fight

Floyd wouldve ended up with nothing as well.

No fight = no money.

Floyd was in the wrong for b*tching about gloves that the commission approved. Maidana was right for wanting to wear them.

of course, but like i said, maidana isn't making 30 million per fight like floyd does. who loses more?

And lose out on 1.5 million? No thanks.

So the money was more important than wearing the gloves you believe that gives you the better chance of winning?

Maidana got off cheap, rumors were that Al Haymon paid Canelo $3 million to take it easy on Floyd and I believe it

[dc3383]

I will admit I have a new found respect for Lucas Matthyse power since he wears those powerlock pillows.

its always hilarious reading keyboard warriors call a professional fighter a coward, particularly for choosing gloves they've probably never even seen in person.

the gloves didn't matter doe. LOL I can't believe mayweather ended up paying $1.5 mill for a glove change.

That's because you're a Top Rank shill. If "rumors" were that Haymon was responsible for global warming,i have no doubt you would believe it, if you don't already.

What's funny to imagine is if Pac signed with Haymon. You would have a nervous breakdown and end up hating yourself.

Apparently he thought it mattered enough to pay the $1.5m

Mayweather's brand and image is worth much more than $1.5 million. He knew Maidana was his biggest threat yet at this stage of his career so he took away his puncher's chance by taking away the puncher's glove and made him wear pillow "sparring" gloves like Matthysse himself has mentioned. Hopefully with the rematch Maidana doesn't take the bait (money) again and fights with his preferred gloves.

why do ppl keep perpetrating this sparring gloves crap. the gloves maidana used werent sparring gloves. does anyone know what a sparring glove is? the gloves he used werent punching gloves but they werent grants either. they were everlast's middle of the road competition gloves. somwhere in between power on protection.
