What pathetic controversy will Floyd use to sell the rematch?

And several rights don't make a wrong. All of those things you mentioned, Mayweather is well within his rights to do. He is not within his rights to dictate who the ref is in his fights. Those are two separate issues.

 

First off, you have presented zero proof that he can deny a ref that's chosen in a Vegas fight. I know you're a little bit slow when it comes to jurisdictions, but different jurisdictions have different policies. Even if Mayweather had the authority to unilaterally deny a ref, then so would Maidana. Of course, in America, the ref is appointed by the state commission. Mayweather can complain all he wants about a ref, only the the commission has the authority to change the appointed ref in America.

 

Why would he need to use controversy to sell this rematch?. Did he need controversy to sell his fights with Alvarez, Ortiz, Guerrero, Hatton, Cotto, Marquez...etc?

 

I'm keeping up buddy.

Maidana won't have a ref that will allow those tactics.

Are you?

 

Why don't you understand that what you're saying he will do, HE'S NOT ALLOWED TO DO. Mayweather is not allowed to unilaterally choose or deny the ref. The commission will appoint the ref of their choosing. Mayweather can object all he wants, nothing will change unless the commission says so. With that said, your objection makes little to no sense. The fact that you think a fight that takes place in Europe is subject to the same procedures as a fight in America, shows just how off base your are.

 

So Floyd needs to let Maidana use gloves with less padding and a referee that lets him fight dirty, just to make the fight more intriguing. Got it!

“No person may arrange, promote, organize, produce, or fight in a professional boxing match unless all referees and judges participating in the match have been certified and approved by the boxing commission responsible for regulating the match in the State where the match is held.”

That's part of the Muhammed Ali act. The Muhammed Ali act is a U.S Federal act. Europe is not in America. Therefore, Europe is not subject to the act. As such, the commissions appoint the refs and judges in the U.S. In other places, other means are used to select the ref and judges. In the Froch/Groves fight, the officials were selected by The IBF.

Do you ever wonder why Vegas fights have the same handful of refs and judges in every fight? It's because the commissions in The U.S pick the officials from a pool of a handful that they appoint.

 

"unless all referees and judges participating in the match have been certified and approved by the boxing commission"

Any ref or judge has to be approved by the commission. A fighter or a manager can object all they want, they have zero authority to approve a ref. Unless the act specifically stated the both fight camps would have to sign off on the officials, then the commission has no obligation to change the official based on a fighter's objection.
