All started with Canelo Alvarez busting out the gloves with a patent leather glove and bad seam. Richardson caught it. May has same glove.

Here's the bad glove in question. Nevada: "We're not allowing those."

Cotto atty. says plastic burns and cuts...

13m Lance Pugmire @latimespugmire
Apparently, Mosley trainer Naazim Richardson (no stranger to glove issues) tipped Cotto camp off that the plastic thumb was no good.

Also, Shane Mosley made weight at 154. Said he was using bad scale earlier. Went outside to run and sweat it off.

Mayweather has to fix or find new glove (Grant makes leather covered thumb version) by later today or tomorrow am, Cotto camp says.

Little bit of a glove issue backstage, Cotto objecting to Mayweather use of plastic covered thumb on Grant gloves. Must be leather.

Interesting stuff...

Why is he the only one to ever catch this stuff?

[TehRedRanger]

Well fair enough. But a bad seam... so the only worry is (which is legitimate) that that glove will scratch more than normal the opposing boxer. If they get graced by the seam.

Tight gloves though. Like the gold and black combo.

buahahahaha Mayweather trying to cheat already

[4Corners]

Watch people say Floyd is a cheater, haha.

[Evil Abed]

****m was there for the Mosely-Mayweather fight.

Seems unlikely that he would have missed it then.

[Kilrain]

Haha, why do these things crop up so late? Surely they should have these particulars - who's wearing what gloves - ironed out weeks in advance?

Drama, drama. Mayweather's gonna be pis sed, he hates not being in control of every little aspect.

[Alx.]

damn lol, nice catch
