Marcos “Chino” Maidana became the center of attention following an awkward encounter with mixed martial arts fighter Bobby “King” Green during a live broadcast. The incident culminated with Green being pushed into a pool.
The confrontation occurred shortly after Maidana knocked out American influencer Oblivion during a sparring session. In the stream hosted by streamer Eliseckbach, both athletes began a calm conversation when Green approached the former Argentine world champion to apologize for the hard hit Oblivion delivered to Maidana during his training session.
Maidana, downplaying the incident, assured that there was no problem. However, the conversation took a different turn when Green expressed his disappointment at not being able to spar with Maidana. The former Argentine boxer replied that this would not be possible, given the differences between boxing and mixed martial arts, and stated that if Green only used his hands, he would stand no chance against him. This led to a more heated exchange, resulting in a physical struggle between the two.
The episode culminated when Maidana pushed Green into the pool and quickly left the scene. Although those present laughed at the incident, Green appeared visibly upset after the shove. This moment went viral on social media after being widely shared.
Prior to this altercation, Maidana had been in the public eye for his appearance on a streaming channel where he recalled his 2013 fight with Adrien Broner. During this interaction, both shared anecdotes, and Maidana made a video call to Floyd Mayweather Jr., reminding him of a tooth he had knocked out in one of their fights. “I have your tooth, Floyd,” Maidana remarked, a moment that also resonated on social media.
These recent events coincide with Maidana’s professional growth as a promoter. He has relaunched his company Chino Maidana Promociones, organizing various boxing events, with the latest being a show on August 28 at the Bragado Club. Maidana has obtained a promoter-manager license that allows him to independently manage events, marking a new chapter in his post-boxing career.
