Official Mayweather vs Maidana Master Discussion & Postfight Analysis Thread

[check hook]

Rafeal hasn't covered this at all, and basically scoffed at the fact there was any issue at all. He has no idea what's going on.

Iole has all the inside info on this, and nothing is resolved, however Ellerbe aid it would be.

It will be resolved. Floyd just being a drama queen as always.

Then why is Ellerbe saying no to the red ones also?

You know damn wel the commission would have approved them had Ellerbe not said anything. Commission was trying to be Floyd friendly, yet fair to Maidana, hence the approval of he red gloves. The red gloves are the same ****ing gloves, different color.[/QUOTE

Why does it matter. Are the blue gloves gonna give Maidana any special power?

If I was Maidana I'd donate those blue gloves to some MMA gyms because that's clearly what they are.

And about the red ones...Ellerbe is just being a ass-whole. Trying to get under Robert and Maidanas skin.

The blue ones look exactly like the red ones. ONly difference was the packaging during shipment. Blue ones werent air sealed.

They are the same glove, different colors. Only difference. Straight from a everlast reps mouth.

You could see Floyd and the Grant rep feel the red ones, and they felt no difference, which is why Ellerbe wont approve them, and Floyd said he has to wear grants.

**** the blue ones, who cares. Maidana agreed to the red ones that are approve and now Ellerbe and Maywether are on a crusade to ban horse hair from gloves.

You cant make this **** up. Now I know how Pac fans feel.

****, imagine how the poor horses feel.

OK, OK, I get this a all hype-- But Floyd and his camp seem to be playing insider pool, and Floyd is looking like an insecure diva with the glove and girlfriend stuff. The nostalgic looking back is also odd. If this is marketing to get viewers, OK, but it isn't making Floyd look good.

The gloves have no padding

Just to educate you so you can stop repeating yourself, they have the same amount of padding. They are 8oz gloves. The DISTRIBUTION of the padding away from the knuckle area is the point of debate.

Whole glove thing is nothing. @LEllerbe just told me, "There was a dispute with the gloves. It will be worked out." Sleep well everyone.

Certainly strange. Floyd actually wanted to use 8oz instead of the mandated 10oz against Cotto, and Cotto hits pretty hard.

You've obviously never laced them up. Hand-made gloves vary from glove to glove. I've had pairs that weren't the same as each other. It is completely plausible that the blue pair was built to be thinner in the knuckle.

Not that I think Floyd is justified.

Clearly, you haven't heard about the the Resto incident ..... smh!!!

William Ray Collins, Jr. (September 21, 1961 ***8211; March 6, 1984) was an Irish-American professional boxer whose career was ended after he sustained serious injuries against an opponent with illegal under-padded gloves.

dude, they replaced ALL of the padding in restos gloves with horse hair (not the same thing) I'll admit that maidanas gloves are obviously weak on the padding but you can't compare that to Resto..........

Lik I said, Rafael scoffed a the fact any issue existed in the first place. He has no idea whats going on. Despite 3-4 videos of Floyd and Ellerbe panicking, and Ellerbe still to this very moment saying no fight, Rafael thinks there is no issue. That fat lazy ass wont even give something to espn.

This is the only latest meaningful tweet.

According to Kevin Iole, whos been on the ball all night on Glovegate, still no agreement but Ellerbe says a resolution will be reachef

The everlast rep specifically said all their custom gloves are color only. So STFU with that laced em up non sense.
