I don't think threatening to cancel the fight is a way to "sell PPV's"
Floyd is 100% shook. Cotto fought in the same gloves and floyd didn't say sh*t because cotto was already shop worn and floyd still got his ass beat

Floyd and his team are so dumb that they forget that Cotto's MX were 10OZ where as Chino's, due to the weight class, are 8OZ which of course will feel thinner.
There's no padding in either blue or red sets of gloves. It's clear as day
Yes, Everlast sells MX competition gloves with no padding inside -- or maybe Lucas removed the padding and replaced it with rocks.

HAha, Floyd Sr. saw the gloves and was like "them the same gloves that Cotto was wearing, no way in hell is that Madonna cat wearing em too."

.. They have to sell some more PPV units... and the weigh-in was too quiet...
... So, Floyd seemed he felt he has to push the sales a little...
... That's my assessment regarding the "gloves-gate"...
a little bit of showmanship to sell ppvs never hurt, and is nothing that mayweather is above.
there's no way in hell this fight doesn't go through ebcause of frigging boxing gloves. that would be a huge black eye on the sport.
it looks like a regular MX everlast to me. everlast has three pro gloves, last i checked. andre ward wears the pillows for his baby hands. lots of padding, hard, well formed leather.
there's a "hybrid glove," designed to protect, as well as give you some pop.
then there's a puncher's glove. that's the "MX" style from the everlast brand. it's horsehair and foam, IIRC and unless they have changed it around. the leather is soft, and the padding can shift around.
those look like regular everlast gloves. this looks like posture to me. they want an advantage, to make team chino sweat, and to possible get chino into some grant gloves.
the commission will settle this. there's a contract that says which gloves each fighter will use. it's one of the things that's regularly sorted out in a contract.
Why are you lying lol. He said he doesn't care what brand he wears as long as they have padding
No he didn't. I saw the vid, they took the brand new pair out of the bag and Floyd tried them on and he shook his head, Floyd senior said "nah, man", and Ellerbe said "they're the same thing", referring to the blue gloves that they also had an issue with. Floyd proceeds to say "Put him in the same schit that I'm wearing".

thats bs.....he said doesn't care about the brand as long as there is padding in the gloves.
it would be funny if they felt the same
Maidana's "Custom" Gloves

Mayweather's Gloves.

I believe the unapproved custom gloves are the ones Floyd got to see. The red approved ones apparently are different. Did Floyd not see the red ones that Maidana is supposed to be wearing?
ellerbe said no he doesnt even want to look at it

The first video that fighthype posted they saw both types of gloves and were still complaining
Maidana agreed to wear the red one's which were approved by the commission already. At this point Mayweather can only try and buy his way out of this
This is ridiculous and has nothing to do with Floyd being scared. He just refused to be dumb. Look at this:

those gloves looked soft as hell, but clowns will hate as usual, a professional boxer who signed the fight and just embarrased a bigger puncher in his last fight is scared is scared smh
Nothing new here. Everyone on this forum is about 14 year's old
Robert Garcia basically let Floyd and Leonard walk all over him
Freddie Roach would've told them to shove those gloves up their asses
Thats why he was 2013 TOTY
Freddie ain't a punk
He would stand his ground
