He was being a diva and taking advantage of being the "A-Side". It's nothing new for the more popular fighter with the negotiating leverage to do things for an edge, but it still stinks.
Mayweather is such a diva. "My opponent should not be promoted by Arum. " "I only fight in-house" "No horse hair gloves" "Rehydration clauses"
what i don`t get about you guys in here, well some of you anyway is that people keep saying that Floyd is scared and he`s ducking. He`s has been in the sport for how long 20 years or something. Wasn`t it he that picked Maidana so why would he pick a guy that he`s scared of, it doesn't make sense.
what boxer dictates terms & conditions to floyd again!! nobody answers this one. why the hell is this?
road blocking and whining? "i dont like needles....i dont like having blood drawn.....ohh let me file a lawsuit against you.....we might fight in may were not sure...oh **** floyd can fight in may? ok were fighting in june like ive been saying cause manny has a cut that needs to hearl....we need to bulild a stadium but it cant be done in time for may 5th but maybe the 26th.....i dont even know if floyd can fight in may or will be licensed.....im not even sure which guy to call to make the fight.......ok guys today im announcing pac/bradley 2 the rematch. we definitley want the floyd fight but were waiting for someone to call us i just cant wave a wand......hey guys this is terrible these floyd posters up at the MGM this place sucks they dont know how to do business....dont buy mayweather/maidana its garbage" lol....yeah man its obvious....
The commission approved of the second pair of gloves but Mayweather and Elerbee still bitched about it and threatened to pull out. It was an obvious bluff and mind games, and Maidana's team should not have given in.
