As a dominant pop star in the sport of boxing where he is known to casuals and there is no question that Floyd is a big ticket seller in boxing. But how far can he bend the rules and call the shots until it is deemed unacceptable to fans? So the drug testing demands to Pacquiao although unheard of at the time, was good for the sport which caught some cheaters in the process a including many from TMT promotions. Paying his way to violate a catch Weight on the Marquez fight and recently making Maidanas team choose to either call off the fight or wear gloves that were acceptable to his liking. I mean what's next the type of shoes, the entrance music, the fighter's cup? I mean isn't it a little ridiculous that money gives you an advantage?
How far is too far until it's unacceptable?

Making Chino fight with sparring gloves was a b1tch move. No way around it. Floyd is so good that he had to make it easier for himself??? Makes no sense.Comment

NEW YORK, June 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Everlast Worldwide Inc., the global leader in fight sports and fitness is excited to unveil the latest addition to their professional fight glove assortment, the PowerLock Fight Glove.
The glove features the new PowerLock technology, which offers superior protection through a stable, compact chamber that secures a fighter's hand in a natural fist position. Additionally, the lightweight construction and ergonomic design of the glove offers a strong alternative to boxers seeking a powerful glove.

"As the industry leader for over 100 years, we consider it our responsibility to continually innovate the fight sports equipment category," said Matt Cowan, EVP Marketing, Sales and Product for Everlast. "The PowerLock has bridged the gap between power and protection, offering fighters a unique fight glove that appeals to every boxing style. Our equipment will continue to evolve in order to meet the ever-changing needs of our athletes and the sport of boxing."
The PowerLock Fight Glove has been featured in many major fights in recent months, most notably when Lucas Matthysse defeated Lamont Peterson via TKO, as well as in Amir Khan's victory over Julio Diaz. The PowerLock will be showcased this weekend (June 8(th) ) when Chad Dawson defends his WBC belt against Adonis Stevenson, live on HBO.
