Originally posted by FrankieBruno View PostFact is The Commission ruled the pair of gloves Maidana originally wanted to use were defects, thus he's not allowed to wear his custom batch, the padding was poorly distributed - who wants to get punched by Maidana, while he wears poorly padded gloves?
He is allowed to wear stock Everlast gloves, to which Floyd also protested, not sure why, maybe to simply piss Maidana off, or to get his own way or to create some controversy, but the commission overruled
case closed
these dweebs who keep denying its about the padding are either suffering from mental illness or are complete blithering idiots!
which is it?
a bad case of dumb. maybe.

Originally posted by Lebanon View PostHmm interesting theory. Why did Floyd's guys bring in a giant bag filled with 100 different colors of Grant gloves and offer them to Maidana as replacements for his blue Everlasts (none of which Floyd is wearing - he is wearing his own custom pair)? Suspicious...

Maidana who is a nobody told Everlast to make his gloves with less padding and they complied.
Makes complete sense.

I'm sure Maidana wearing his Grant gloves wouldn't benefit him.

In my gut though, i feel this is just paranoia and mind games on Floyd's part, because when you get that big you feel everyone is out to get you one way or another, and rightly so.
