Just read that Floyd has objected to Maidana's gloves. Claiming that there isn't enough padding over the knuckles?

The fact that 'TMT' objected to Maidana using the red gloves as well is a clear sign that this is a stunt. Will make the All Access episode a bit more interesting I suppose.
Straight from Earnest Gabion, works for Everlasting.
Officially waiting ***8220;@VWEBBJR I know he's busy at the moment but waiting to hear from E about this "issue". @eaner0919*#Everlast****8221;
Kevin Iole is now reporting that Maidana tried to use a custom made glove that wasnt even approved by contract. Its on his twitter. Floyd's gripe was legit
Glove problems with Mayweather and Maidana?
Steve Kim ***8207;@stevemaxboxing 1m
What's ironic about this whole thing is, no matter what gloves Maidana wears, he may not touch Mayweather much with them #boxing #theMoment
Half of all fights I see now are using Everlast MX. Glove brand and model is something that is settled during negotiations. This is straight up posturing on TMT's part.
Maidana has been wearing everlast mx gloves since his US debut with the exception of the morales fight where he used winning gloves.
Possibly no one really checked them, ala Margarito with those wraps.
this is what was originally posted on fightHHype
"Team Mayweather was not pleased with the lack of padding in the Everlast gloves that Team Maidana wanted to use."
"the Commission ruled that the specific gloves that Maidana wanted to use were not acceptable,"
take it up with them not me...................:boxing:
STFU already! You obviously don't know **** about boxing gear... Everlast MX (The type of glove Maidana is going to use) is known as a punchers glove, and although Reyes gloves are the most famous of punchers gloves, Everlast MX is the most dangerous and holds the least padding in the knuckle area (almost non existent) most of the weight is in the thumb, top of hand, and wrist area. Fact is all the approved gloves for Maidana are Everlast MX & doesn't matter which one he chooses really because they are all designed to have the same damaging effect. Team Mayweather ain't accusing Maidana of tampering!!! He's against him using Everlast MX gloves. Too bad though, it's a go and they have been approved.
I have a pair of unused everlast mx gloves and that is how they are made. They are more so flatter in the knuckle area than even the reyes gloves. I saw the video where chino is trying them on and I could even see the same exact dip in the knuckle area when you make a fist. Floyds team is arguing a set of gloves that the nsac has approved countless times. Heck, cotto used the same gloves against floyd. Floyds team arguing that cottos werent the same but the fact is cottos were 10 oz gloves. Maidana should not be forced to wear anything else.
honestly..in that video team mayweather just confirmed what fighthype reported (they really felt madaina was trying to cheat with the lack of padding in his orignal gloves)
BUT I WAS ATTACKED FOR REPORTING THE SAME D@MN THING!!!?
:burnup:
Yes, Mayweather made the claim, not the commission. Time for you to go on ignore you halfwit.

You still can't play dumb now, you seen, the video, surely you read some current news about the situation.
You know the commission has approved of the gloves, you know Mayweather has said he doesn't want him fighting in the Everlast gloves and said he can where the same gloves as me.
You see the issue is not with the gloves being tampered with but the type of gloves that Maidana is wanting to use.
So you must see how you got it wrong.
Now with all the facts at your disposable, please don't act dumb and not understand the situation.
Only done to hype the fight.
Projected PPV number must be low.

It's all BS. All an excuse why Maidana will lose the fight. Same with Canelo. TMT, Showtime, Golden Boy made it seemed that Canelo lost to Floyd because he was drained down to 152. In reality it was a fixed fight.*
They want you to think that Canelo is one of the baddest man alive but only if he was at his natural weight. Therefore he gets to keep his reputation even when he gets a 1 on his record because the fight was at 152. Enough with this BS fake WWE fights!

You do realise Mayweather is not the commission.
But it just to hype the fight.
It's just a show.
WRONG! Are you even following the news or just writing out of your ass just because you feel the need to defend Floyd?
Glove issue is not resolved yet but IT IS NOT a commission issue. Fight is GOING TO HAPPEN. Here is what is going on right now:— Kevin Iole (@KevinI) May 3, 2014
The padding in that glove can be moved TMT is arguing to make a punching surface that is more hand and less glove. Both gloves are approved— Kevin Iole (@KevinI) May 3, 2014

the gloves that chino wanted to use was out of the packaging which means (anything could have happened to them) those particular ones was missing padding. the other ones are approved & A ok to go by the commission. (but the original gloves had less padding and were deemed as unacceptable)
thats the point of the drama...............
They have multiple gloves there, not just one pair.
And Floyd's team are not happy about the type of gloves, the ones that were approved by the commission.
The ones that failed were just out of the packaging, that was it.
bull.........you take the gloves and put your hand over it and in it (to inspect the overall glove) mayweathers claim is that maidnda had padding missing within his gloves. they complained about it to the commission (the commission checked them) & deemed them as unacceptable............he would have to pick new pair
