Mayweather vs. Maidana, a 12-round world championship unification rematch bout for Mayweather and Maidana’s respective 147-pound titles, is promoted by Mayweather Promotions
The first meeting between Mayweather and Maidana was an epic 12-round showdown that ended in a majority decision for Mayweather, but Maidana landed more punches on Mayweather than any other opponent he faced throughout his undefeated career.
Mayweather has been named the world’s highest-paid athlete by Forbes and Fortune/Sports Illustrated for the last calendar year and was nominated for “Best Male Athlete” and “Fighter of the Year” at this year’s Espn Espy Awards.
The thirty-year-old Maidana put himself on the map when he stunned the boxing world in December 2013 with a dominant victory over up-and-coming superstar Adrien Broner. In 2012, Maidana joined forces with renowned trainer Robert Garcia (2012 Trainer of the Year) and has since gone 4-1 with 3 knockouts with his only loss coming at the hands of Mayweather.
