Glovegate rather yall know it or not the gloves w/o adequate padding wouldve been approved by nsac had ellerbe not made a fuss about them - i commend floyd no foul play win fair n square - i wouldnt have trust not one single pair of gloves maidana brought
who use gloves without padding?? is it Maidana or pac?? as i recall all of their's glove were approved by boxing comission, there are no scandal about maidana or pac gloves.
Floyd wear special gloves made for his brittle hands and insist his opponent wear them too.
You're being economical with the truth or your recall. What actually happened was that the commission agreed with Floyd that the pair of gloves initially presented for use by Maidana, had no padding in it, therefore the commission ruled it illegal and rejected it, as Floyd did. So, Team Maidana indeed tried to cheat - or cheated, just like Maidana's coach, Garcia, was blatantly urging Maidana to repeatedly throw illegal punches during the fight itself. I never heard a trainer/coach be that brazen before.
You can refer though, to the second pair of gloves that Maidana later presented to use. The commission then approved this second pair, which Mayweather objected to. If I were Mayweather, I would have been equally suspicious of anything Maidana proposed to use at that point. Sh1t happens.

It sounds promising. I think if they can make Cotto-Canelo soon then there is a decent chance this also takes place. But I won't get my hopes up until it's signed.
Pure speculation here, but if Mayweather is asking for certain gloves he will look like a punk.
except you sound like a moron because the first thing Mayweather agreed to in the inital negotiations (That Roach said they screwed up) was Pacquiaos request for gloves, so just hold that L.
First thing Floyd agreed to was actually 50-50 split. But that was when Pacquiao was doing similar numbers to Floyd, PPV-wise vs common opponents, barring De La Hoya. Now those 300-400k and undisclosed numbers are not going to get him even close to 50%. Pacquiao is now doing the same numbers he was doing at 126-135.
If floyd can get what he wants, why are they countering the offer?
Pacquiao said money is not an issue, Floyd can get what he wants. He's also been taking OST since getting KO'ed by Marquez. On paper, there should be no problem with money and testing, just promotional and network issues. But if Team Pac is now countering money offers, then they lied. But that wouldn't be the first time.
Dude just stfu! Manny is the second biggest draw in boxing and Floyd wants to treat him like fawking khan or Maidana. Please!
This is easy a 60-40 fight Floyd getting the 60. Purse and PPV.
I think Canelo is the #2 PPV draw in the sport now. His numbers with Angulo, a non top 10 fighter, were about as good as Manny's numbers with "top 10" fighters like Rios and Algieri. Pacquiao is now #3. In the last 2 years, Canelo has sold around 3.1 million PPV's vs Pacquiao's 1.1 million + undisclosed poor Algieri PPV numbers. Canelo is getting more love from fans because of fighting guys like Trout, Mayweather, Lara and chasing down Cotto. Pacquiao is no longer getting any love because he's fighting the Rios', Algieri's, and chasing down fights with Jessie Vargas while giving a false impression that he wants Floyd.
love how u guys ignore the part where he caught them using gloves with no padding i wouldnt let him use but what i told him either after that what other time has he done it?

Adviser: Manny Pacquiao being updated on Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks
Lem Satterfield
December 31, 2014
Manny Pacquiao was updated this morning on ongoing negotiations for a potential May 2 bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr., according to Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz.
“We’re still in negotiations with Floyd’s group through Top Rank. I spoke to Manny this morning. I gave Manny what is perceived to be a counter offer from the Mayweather people,” said Koncz, who then referred to Top Rank CEO Bob Arum.
“We discussed it and now I’ve given instruction to Bob to counter their counter. We’ve been going back and forth. Bob has been negotiating with the powers that be on Floyd’s side for the past couple of weeks. There’s been offers and counter offers, and a couple of days ago Bob called me and gave me allegedly where Floyd’s side is, and I discussed that with Manny two hours ago.
“Now I’ve given Bob our response to that. I’m never overly optimistic until the contract is signed, but the good thing is that we’re still going back and forth.”
During an interview on Showtime on Dec. 12, Mayweather said that he “would love to fight Manny Pacquiao” on May 2. Click here for Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s full video interview with Steve Farhood
“Mayweather can get the amount he wants,” Pacquiao responded on Dec. 16. “Money is not the issue in our fight.”
On Wednesday, Pacquiao delivered a final word for 2014 to Mayweather on his Twitter account.
“The ball will drop at midnight to usher in 2015,” read Pacquiao’s message. “@Floyd Mayweather, let’s not not drop the ball on fighting each other next year! #LetsMakeFistory.”
Mayweather is currently aligned with Showtime, having fought four of six bouts stipulated by a multimillion-dollar agreement he signed with the network and its parent company, CBS Corporation.
Officials from Showtime and HBO, the latter of which has televised most of Pacquiao’s fights, have reportedly discussed a joint venture between the networks similar to that which facilitated the fight between Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson in June 2002.
Lewis scored an eighth-round stoppage victory over Tyson in the bout. Lewis and Tyson were affiliated with HBO and Showtime, respectively, at the time. Key aides are reportedly working for Mayweather and Pacquiao, with CBS Corporation Chief Executive Leslie Moonves bringing the two sides together.

Honestly it's more like 55-45 but I agree with everything else you wrote. People acting like Manny is a challenger or something.
Manny is a challenger , he is rated lower , has loses , been Koed numerous times and by a guy Floyd toyed with , add up the all the elements including revenue they bring at the box office and Manny is most definitely a challenger .
Dude just stfu! Manny is the second biggest draw in boxing and Floyd wants to treat him like fawking khan or Maidana. Please!

Stil clinging on their 1st negotiation? For f_ck sake it's 2015 already. Yes Fraud will insist on glove size believe that. He didn't gave Maidana his only chance of winning, what more against Pacquaio? You are idolizing a master escape artist, or for some a coward.

the fight will never happen. the money doesn't even mattter. floyd wouldn't fight maidana unless maidana wore pillow gloves and manny won't agree to that sh-it.

there are no negotiations.
this is nothing but a show.
its floyd and manny want one more fight before fighting each other. they are not gonna fight early in the year and either one risk losing ppv drawing power during their 2nd fight for the year 2015.
these guys fight once or twice a year only.
you really think they are gonna fight each other during the first part of the year?
they are gonna stretch this out. they stretched it out for damn near half a decade. what's another one fight?
floyd want's pacquiao for that 50th win. arum is hell bent on getting another algieri type cherry pick for pacquiao and that's the vargas fight. pac aint complaining. he's getting paid 20 mill fighting algieiri vargas back to back.
50 and 0. beat marciano's record and retire beating your career rival and shutting up your haters.
i dont know why you guys cant see that.
If they fight later in the year after 1 more fight that will be Floyds 49th fight not 50th.
there are no negotiations.

There's a rematch clause. Fight in May and rematch in sept. But I agree this article means nothing.
