Comments Thread For: Mayweather Wants Pacquiao at 154? Wants 10oz Gloves?

It must be true if the Roach said it. You guys buy everything.

[Drunk Punch]

So let me get this right, Floyd wants a guy who was superfeather weight just 18 mths ago to fight at 154?

Is he really that scared of Pacquiao?

[Left Hook Tua]

Thats not true. This is from the Nevada commission website:

Athletes (boxers/kickboxers) weighing-in up to and including 135 pounds must wear 8 oz. gloves in competition, while athletes weighing-in over 135 pounds (junior welterweight class and above) must wear 10 oz. gloves in competition. However, athletes weighing in over 135 but not more than 147 pounds may wear 8 ounce gloves in competition if both athletes agree to do so in writing.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons Arum wants to do the fight in Texas.

cotto-margarito , pacquiao-cotto , pacquiao-hatton , etc. were all with 8 ouncers.

As reported earlier by BoxingScene.com's Ronnie Nathanielsz, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao met with Top Rank's Bob Arum and signed off on a deal to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. on March 13, 2010. Arum told BoxingScene there would be some minor fine tuning of the contract terms but nothing that would stand in the way of fight going forward. [Click Here To Read More]

Aw hell no! Manny's gonna look like Buboy on Fight Night!

that's dated , one punch.

they changed that.

now it's 8 oz. for 147 and under.

10 oz. for 154 nad up.

That makes no sense. So then what do the guys 147.1 - 153.9 wear?? lol

correct, but they both agreed in writing and neither guy weighed in over 147.0

obviously 10.

i was talking about divisions. 147 division = 141-147 and 154 = 148-154



you know that's what i meant.

you got your rules wrong.

no, the statute is exactly as I quoted it. 8oz gloves can be worn from 135-147 if both participants agree in writing. Over 147 its not even negotiable, they must wear 10's.

If both sides do not agree, then anything over 135 gets 10's. Call Kizer if you dont believe me

so if mayweather doesn't agree it would have to be with 10 oz.?

i hope he's not that lame.
