How far is too far until it's unacceptable?

[Fr3$h]

He could get away with it forever pretty much. Boxing fans are mostly dumb, urban and poor and Floyd has lots of money. Recipe for unchecked silliness.

[Deeznuts]

LOL at the gifs. Floyd won the fight and the gloves would probably not change the outcome but cmon, this guy is changing the rules because he got the money to do it plain and simple. I find it kind of silly that any of you so called boxing fans are ok with this practice

[Master Splinter]

Floyds a dousche bag? news to me!

[rambov]

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?

Yoo. Talk to a shrink

This has been going on in boxing forever. Its just publicized more with Floyd being Floyd and the internet .weather its a boxer demanding to fight a certain place, certain gloves, ring size, entrance. Delahoya was known for this.. You must not of followed for that long. Any boxer who has the power to demand will demand. Cotto is also known for this. Whoever bring the most money will have the say. Remember these are people with big egos .

Wow you must be a a teen lil wayne fan. Cotto or Delahoya made these negotiations before the fight. This guy decided he was not going to fight if Maidana did not wear his gloves on the day before the fight. Educate yourself before you post.

Educate myself? You don't even know what ur talking about. Those gloves looked like they had no padding. I think educate urself. What are u referring to a video u saw? What about when they cut the camera do u have any idea what went down or u still stuck on the video of the gloves that looked like they didn't have any padding?

The PowerLock will be showcased this weekend (June 8(th) ) when Chad Dawson defends his WBC belt against Adonis Stevenson, live on HBO. The PowerLock Fight Glove is now available for purchase and will be sold exclusively online at


Forgot to add: They are NOT sparring gloves!!!!

They are sparring gloves you know why? everyone in the boxing world refers to them as boxing gloves.

And quoting a sales pitch, proves what? you do you know they sponsor those fighters they listed right?

Silly rabbits.

Hey. Hi

Quick question; what was wrong with the red stock Everlast MX that were approved by NSAC?

I'll wait.
