What specifically was wrong with the glove? You can put it on and determine from the feel that the glove is acceptable or not?
Isn't there QC requirements at the manufacturer? Isn't there a way to measure or test the glove to determine if it passes?Comment

The commission already agreed that the custom made gloves had little padding and told Maidana that he can't wear them! but they approved another gloves, the second gloves that was approved was then rejected by Team Mayweather. There was nothing in the contract that prevent Maidana from wearing that gloves so he should never have given in to Mayweather.
If this is true ...IF
than mayweather is in the wrong regarding the other gloves that were aproved. Smart move by FMJ if that is true, not very fair towards CHINO. But hey these things happen if you're the B-side and your team is weak.
I still would have loved to hear a commisionar speak on the matter, there arent many good sources out there...Comment
