According to Roach, Floyd initially wanted the fight at 154lbs with 10 oz. gloves. Although they did not insist any further, Floyd's camp never refuted this.He didn't, there was never an issue with gloves, both Pacquiao and Mayweather wanted 8oz gloves and the is standard for welterweights.
People like to throw around the idea that Mayweather agreed to Pacquiao demands over gloves and ringside, Mayweather wanted them too.

Pac clottey had a lower live gate with over 40k fans then floyd ortiz which had only 16k. D4th is just making it up as he goes. I wouldn't worry too much.Comment

Second attempt.
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...KiRDvE7CGfsWHAAs 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.
Thx for the link, was never going to be realistic, they seemed to reached the 147lb 8oz agreement almost instantly.
If you remember Mayweather *****ed an moaned about using 10oz gloves for the Oscar fight.
Mayweather's counterpunching is affected by the heavier gloves.Comment
