As a dominant pop star in the sport of boxing where he is known to casuals and there is no question that Floyd is a big ticket seller in boxing. But how far can he bend the rules and call the shots until it is deemed unacceptable to fans? So the drug testing demands to Pacquiao although unheard of at the time, was good for the sport which caught some cheaters in the process a including many from TMT promotions. Paying his way to violate a catch Weight on the Marquez fight and recently making Maidanas team choose to either call off the fight or wear gloves that were acceptable to his liking. I mean what's next the type of shoes, the entrance music, the fighter's cup? I mean isn't it a little ridiculous that money gives you an advantage?
Im a dumb ass? Ur so retarded u believe everything u see on video. That's what a dumb ass does. He sees a video and makes his mind up having no clue what really went on. Ur pushing 40 years old and ur still gullible.

Dan Ambrose: After today’s weigh-in, Floyd Mayweather objected to a pair of gloves that Marcos Maidana wanted to wear for tommororw night’s fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Maidana reportedly wanted to wear a red pair of Everlast MX gloves, but Mayweather rejected those gloves after inspecting them and finding that there was inadequate padding around the knuckles of the gloves.
According to Yahoo Sports, Francisco Aguilar, the chairman of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, also inspected Maidana’s Everlast MX gloves and rejected them as being suitable for the fight. Another set of Everlast MX gloves were then presented as a replacement for the rejected ones, and Aguilar approved that set of gloves.
Unfortunately, Mayweather objected to those gloves as well. But Aguilar already approved the gloves as being suitable for the fight.

You should really consider getting on another forum that is not boxing related. Seems like you're not equipped to talk boxing
NEW YORK, June 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Everlast Worldwide Inc., the global leader in fight sports and fitness is excited to unveil the latest addition to their professional fight glove assortment, the PowerLock Fight Glove.

Forgot to add: They are NOT sparring gloves!!!!
Its still not an MX glove though. Its like saying the 243 bat from Rawlings is the same bat as the 271, because its from Rawlings too. There are differences, or else they wouldn't have a different name. Floyd chose to take that away from his opponent. And even then, he still got tossed around.
Educate myself? You don't even know what ur talking about. Those gloves looked like they had no padding. I think educate urself. What are u referring to a video u saw? What about when they cut the camera do u have any idea what went down or u still stuck on the video of the gloves that looked like they didn't have any padding?
LOL you don't know sht about the topic you commented on. Your opinion is based on a short clip but you didn't know that Floyd rejected other pairs that the commission approved along with Cleto Reyes punchers gloves and only wanted Maidana to wear one he picked? Did you not see the post fight conference were Robert said he had to put vaseline on Maidanas hands so he could get his hand in the padded gloves? Please don't comment if you don't know anything about the topic, dumbass. You noobs crack me up

Hey. Hi
Quick question; what was wrong with the red stock Everlast MX that were approved by NSAC?
I'll wait.

Is that a gif of yourself after TBE was beaten up by Madonna :lol1: 44-1-1
Deal with it :D
This has been going on in boxing forever. Its just publicized more with Floyd being Floyd and the internet .weather its a boxer demanding to fight a certain place, certain gloves, ring size, entrance. Delahoya was known for this.. You must not of followed for that long. Any boxer who has the power to demand will demand. Cotto is also known for this. Whoever bring the most money will have the say. Remember these are people with big egos .
Wow you must be a a teen lil wayne fan. Cotto or Delahoya made these negotiations before the fight. This guy decided he was not going to fight if Maidana did not wear his gloves on the day before the fight. Educate yourself before you post.

Yoo. Talk to a shrink
LOL at the gifs. Floyd won the fight and the gloves would probably not change the outcome but cmon, this guy is changing the rules because he got the money to do it plain and simple. I find it kind of silly that any of you so called boxing fans are ok with this practice
Making Chino fight with sparring gloves was a b1tch move. No way around it. Floyd is so good that he had to make it easier for himself??? Makes no sense.
