Comments Thread For: R. Garcia on Gloves For Possible Mayweather Rematch

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

While the fight has not been officially announced, a rematch between the sports pound for pound king Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Marcos “Chino” Maidana looks likely to take place on September 13th at a site yet to be determined. Mayweather himself said he would be fighting Maidana a second time when he was interviewed at the BET Awards red carpet last week.

Their first encounter proved to be an exciting affair but the big story heading into the fight was there was probably not going to be a fight at all as Team Mayweather had an issue with the gloves Maidana was going to use in the fight. The padding in Maidana’s custom Everlast MX gloves were called into question by Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe and even a second pair approved by the commission was rejected by Team Mayweather.

mayweather damaging his own legacy with all this glove drama... approved by the commission & still Not Ok to use in fight.

Hmm so they're wearing puncher's gloves anyway. Not that this should matter -- this issue ranks right up there with Pacquiao complaining of socks.

This article forgot to mention the first pair of gloves Maidana was gonna wear weren't approved by the commission, Maidana tried to wear those Custom Luis Resto Anniversary Edition gloves but unfortunately they weren't approved, a lot of Floyd haters would've loved Maidana to wear those Restos tho

It implies it. Garcia says they're going to use "commission approved" gloves.

What does that have to do with the gloves that the commission DID approve yet Floyd still whined about them?

I dont really care to be honest. Maidana and Garcia are the dumb ones. Once the commission approved of the gloves they should have stuck to thier guns and told Floyd to go kick rocks. If they accepted Floyd's bribe to wear different gloves then they gave up every right to cry about it.

if they tell floyd to go kick rocks, they'll be right next to floyd on the side of the road kicking rocks with him. team maidana is not in any position to tell floyd what they want to do LOL. even pac cant even do it and pac was riding at a higher level than maidana will ever be.

So you really think that the power who be (sponsers, MGM, Haymon, Team Garcia, Showtime, thousands of ticket buyers, etc) would just let Floyd pull out of a multimillion event the night of because of a hissy fit about gloves without any repurcussions. Believe you me Floyd would have been sued up the wazoo! There was no way he was pulling out at that point.
