If you havent heard, their is major controversy regarding Maidana'sgloves.
Mayweather & Ellbere learned today that boxing glove manufacturers looking to make a punchers glove use horse hair, that creates minimal padding over the knuckles.
Regardless of the fact these types of gloves are widely used, and by many stars among the sport, including Cotto vs Mayweather in 2012 (10 oz version).
Now that Mayweather and Ellerbe have finally found out that horse hair is used, they want horse hair banned in Nevada, and want to transcend the sport. Otherswise their is no fight tomorrow.
You can't make this **** up.
Regardless of all this glove bull**** the fight will happen tomorrow. How the hell does a network make money by cancelling a PPV? A Floyd one at that. Floyd is trying to play mind games that's all.
The crazy thing is Grant also has Horse hair gloves for punchers.
The guy from Grant talks about Triple g and Kovalev using his gloves and his take on the whole gloves incident.

They are on a crusade to sell more PPV, fans like yourself need to calm down and stop acting like females.
Floyd is the only one acting like a female dude.
Nothing convinces people to buy PPV's more than the good ol' "I'm going to cancel my fight because I don't like his gloves" trick. Ah yes, a classic move, should skyrocket sales to 2 million; what a genius move on TMT's part, and totally not a primadonna gesture.
They creating a buzz, they are not going to cancel anything. Only idiots believe that stuff.
I mentioned this in another thread. Fool doesn't realize it, but Grant gloves use horse hair and foam too.
I hate it when people in Mayweather's leech team try to use their brains.
You can sense the tension in the air now with just a day away. They are trying to neutralize Maidana's biggest asset which is his power.
What surprises me the most is the fact that they are so clueless on the subject. The MX just like the Cleto Reyes are designed for punchers with thinner padding BUT both are approved by the commission. ALSO the ones that Cotto used for their fight were 10OZ MX which of course will look and feel fuller compared to the 8OZ gloves Maidana was going to use for this fight. The padding goes to the front when they are taped causing them to look fuller / puffier once they are put on.
This is just a pathetic attempt at trying to reduce the risk they are facing tomorrow night. This is the lame nature of these cowards, to manipulate in order to maintain their fabricated record.
The tension is at an all time high now..... I can't wait for Maidana to beat Floyd brutally. I want to see a career ending beating. Garcia and the team need to get together and update Chino so he comes out with the worst intentions to hurt Floyd and batter him like a savage. I am sure Ariza has Maidana ready with the heavy stuff... This is about hurting floyd and putting him in his place now. WAR MAIDANAAAAA!!! Let's ****ing do this!!
Ellerbe kept saying that there would be no fight if Chino didn't fight with a pair of properly padded gloves. Don't gloves vary in the amount of padding they have, depending on brand and style?
Anyways, the commission has already made their ruling. Unless for some reason they change their mind, Chino can use the red Everlast gloves.
Ellerbe said no fight with those red gloves or any horse hair.

If you can hurt Floyd while wearing them there isn't enough padding.
