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.

Floyd's zero is worth a lot more than 1.5 mill, if he did cut that check it was a very smart move by team Floyd and a dumb move by team Maidana.

After you have the gloves the commission approves you don't really have to do shyt. He could have told Floyd and use the commission approved gloves.

yeah maidana and his team made a mistake, but as this is boxing, i feel there was something fukkery involved. here, take this extra bit of dough and fight or else..you know..

mayweather is a true sportsman; he ALWAYS puts over the other guy no matter how they come across...even when they lowblow him and stuff, he makes sure he doesn't bury them in defeat.

Mayweather is a lot more of a true promoter than a true sportsman.

Well he either uses that glove or stops boxing, which do you prefer. If Maidana had true skill, he would have won regardless. Mayweather is protecting his bones.

Well... thats a bit extreme bruh.
