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

[Spacey1991]

Anyway hasn't Manny already signed the contract and there has been reports of the fight being on?

[madsweeney]

you think Mayweather's history of hand problems is why he doesn't want to fight in 8 oz gloves if what is being said is true of course?

as I have said, i'm waiting to actually hear Team Mayweather speak. Roach has flip flopped so much in the last few days that its amazing. I want to hear someone from Team Mayweather speak FOR Team Mayweather and not Roach. Remember Roach said Floyd didn't want to fight in March??

anyways, I prefer it at 147 and the issue with the 10 oz gloves things is that I know Floyd has had hand problems in the past. but lets see what HE or someone from his team has to say.

So you favor Pac at a disadvantage because Floyd has bad hands?!?

Guys this was for a reason..of course Mayweather ain't gonna fight at 154...but it keeps manny from trying to get him to go to 145..

So now it will look like Floyd compromised down to 147, when he had no intent to fight at 154 anyway.

WHereas, if he had just said 147...guarantee Pac would have said, no, 145

Pac won't win anyway in March. He had a great chance in September but he won't be ready in in march. 154 with 10oz gloves is just icing on the cake at this point unfortunately.

Agree, 100%.

8 oz or 10 oz gloves, I think that Floyd stops Manny late.

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]

Wait so yesterday mayweather agreed to all the terms....

No, he said that is possibly why he wants 10oz gloves cause he does have hand problems.

This is coming from Roach who wanted Pacquiao to move up and fight Foreman? Roac his full of ****...the fight will be at 147, the gloves is a different issue to negotiate.

[Jim Jeffries]

Floyd has 5 stoppages in his 13 fights above 130. He ain't stopping Pac.

At 140 Pac stops him, 47 Mayweather probably wins a boring decision.

Smaller gloves favor Pac, Floyd needs the extra protection (as if the 2 in thick taping he uses isn't enough) for his girly hands.
