The only difference in the gloves were the fact that they were painted and out of the packaging. The rep even attests to that fact. They were declared "illegal" because customized gloves were not stipulated in the contract, which is why the second pair of gloves, the identical make and model, were deemed legal. They didn't try to do anything illegal tbh.

I don't think anyone would have a problem with Mayweather dictating what gloves to use and putting it in the contract before hand. I think I do, and others have an issue with him dictating the gloves if the contract has been agreed upon. And, not only after the contract has been agreed upon, but less than 24 hours before the fight. That is BS, & I don't understand why you madaina agreed to it, unless the gave him money under the tableComment

I think it makes little difference whether he chooses the gloves in the contract, or if he chooses gloves a day before the fight. The result is the same -- champion / A-Side choosing the opponent's glove. It's just a little more annoying for an opponent if it happens last minute.Comment

The annoyance and/or complaints from people on the forum would still be the same even if this WERE in the contract. And you should know that. People still complain about Canelo's catchweight.Comment

LAS VEGAS --- Floyd Mayweather appeared to give Marcos Maidana some heart-felt praise at one point during the post-fight news conference on Saturday night at the MGM Grand.
Mayweather asked for Maidana's trainer Robert Garcia to translate for him, so he could tell Maidana directly.
"You're a hell of a fighter," Mayweather said. "You're a very tough competitor. Congratulations on the new baby. She's beautiful. You have a beautiful family and you are a true champion. But in the next fight don't hit me in the d*ck so much. I do want to make some more kids."

Floyd wasn't worried about his health by taking up boxing. I don't understand how Floyd can out rule the Nevada boxing commission. Maidana should have called Floyd's bluff and told them to cancel the fight. Floyd has more to lose.Comment
