Maidana earned more than $5.7 million for the Mayweather fight

[MatthyssePower]

Although neither side would disclose the terms of the deal -- or even admit that there was one -- sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.com that Mayweather agreed to pay Maidana an additional $1.5 million to change gloves. That doubled Maidana's official purse, which was $1.5 million on his Nevada contract. However, sources told ESPN.com that Maidana was guaranteed $4.2 million and wound up earning at least $5.7 million, including the payment for the gloves change.

Maidana should just scare the **** outta Floyd and grow his hair out, again.


Now all we need to know is was it necessary for him to switch gloves?

Good payday.

He should ask for at least $8 for the rematch.

Right now Mayweather needs a big fight and I think the rematch will sell very well.

1.5M just to change gloves. Its that some b*tch **** or what? And then people have the audacity to say gloves don't matter.

1.5M......

[Kagami Taiga]

Well at least he got paid for it. He shouldn't be whining about it then. And if he takes the fight again and doesn't pick his gloves then whines about it, then that's just ******. Floyd tho...smh that's some ***** ****.

By now it's no secret that Maidana was paid to use the gloves he used. The only difference is, originally it was said 6 figures and not 7.
