So are we going to know details about the Mayweather/Mosley fight like ring and glove size or is that going to be a state secret like the weight for the Marquez fight?

No secrets. Rings in Nevada are standard 20x20 as per the rules, same with gloves in the welterweight division, which are 8 ounces.
The gloves can be 10 oz.Comment

The Las Vegas notion gained momentum in the previous month when the Nevada Athletic Commission amended its provisional rules on glove size, allowing welterweights to wear 8 ounce (227 g) gloves instead of the previously mandated 10 ounce (284 g) gloves. Nearly every other boxing jurisdiction in the United States allows welterweights to fight with 8 ounce gloves, and both Cotto and Margarito likely would have refused to fight in Las Vegas without their usual glove sizeComment
