Thread: Where is Marcos Maidana?

It's nearly a year since his last fight with Floyd, and no sign of him, not even rumours. The only thing I heard was that he was enjoying his money and getting fat!
Do we think he'll ever fight again?
With so many good (lucrative) fights out there , shouldn't he be in the mix? The next thing will be "he needs a warm up fight!" Well if he has put on as much weight as they say, he's not likely to be motivated by a journeyman.
Bit sad if he can't get motivated to fight.

I lamented for Matthysse/Maidana for quite some time. I still hold out some faint hope. Argentina could sell out a stadium and the world wide audience would be quite large. They should cash out on PPV before it goes the way of the dodo bird.

I've been wondering that myself. We've seen a few fighters take the post Floyd fight holidays but I really hope to see Maidana back at it soon. I hear Argentina is a nice country, even nicer if you are millionaire. I don't think Marcos will have an issue getting back into shape but after two Floyd fights he must be sitting pretty.

The last I heard he bought a new farm tractor, so I figure he's sitting on that tractor with a beer in his hand.
I have no idea if he's a serious farmer or not but either way he is probably having fun.
I don't know what it is about a tractor (probably any piece of equipment) but being able to operate one well can do wonders for a mans opinion of himself. Fact! As Fenster would say.

Ohhhh, ho-ho, now Fensty knows a "thing or two" BWAHAHA about ~tractors~…

I doubt we'll see him again.

I doubt it Brock. His first fight with Floyd was an exciting one. Granted, the second not as much so. Remember he recently had a child. Probably just enjoying life for a while. Remember Gurrero was off the radar for a while after his Floyd fight. I doubt we have seen the last of Maidana, at least I hope not.

He's still off enjoying that Floyd Mayweather money. It's not often a person wins the lottery twice in a row.

Was that picture of him looking fat real?

If so he's more of a legend than I thought. Binned his Floyd millions and fucked off. Brilliant.

I tried to think it through but have no idea what this means. Fact.

It is disgraceful that he is losing his prime years when he should be trying to capitalise from the fights he had with Floyd. Thurman offered him out, he should take it.

I guess getting punched in the face for a living ain't as fun as it looks, especially when you've got a few bob in your pocket.

Maidana has never really come across as the type that gives a flying fuck about fame/adoration/hype.

I think you are right.

He comes from humble means and was eating pork n beans out of a can in the last 24/7 pre Mayweather piece. Can you imagine winning the lottery back to back and being in a hurry to get back to work?

He's been offered to porter for his next fight seen Kenny porter talk about it last night
