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

[Bigg Rigg]

Mayweather is such a damn coward. He should be embarrassed.

What gloves was Maidana wearing when he couldn't finish off Broner? What gloves was he wearing when he lost to Alexander? It's not about gloves, it's about accuracy? It's about where his punches were landing, and the effect of all those misses. He was done by the start of the ninth. his punches didn't have the effect they had earlier. This is a training issue, not a glove issue. He's lucky to be getting a rematch, so I don't think he wants to make the gloves an issue. Robert Garcia is correct, choose early, then train hard (without Ariza).

The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) agreed and said that they would not allow the gloves. The Maidana camp switched to the "stock" red Everlast MX gloves. These were approved by the NSAC, but the Mayweather camp continues to object, saying that they aren't going to fight if Maidana wears the Everlast gloves.

Team Mayweather is attempting to force Maidana to use Grant gloves, the same that Mayweather uses. Everlast are known as "puncher's gloves," preferred by most of the sport's heavy hitters while Grants are a favorite of men like Floyd, who have a history of hand injuries.

there will be repercussuion no doubt about it. but it will not be anything big or harsh. floyd is their money maker. team maidana will not win the stand off against floyd of not fighting if they dont get to use the gloves they want. if floyd agree to let them use their gloves to save the fight im sure they will knock off a huge chunk off of maidana's check. or if maidana was promise anything extra, he will not get it had he try to go up against floyd on the glove issue.

Where do you come up with this stuff? LOL. Maidana's purse was in the contract and set in stone. Nowhere in the contract were there stipulations on the type of gloves Maidana can or can not wear. Upon reviewing the gloves, the first pair Ellerbe protested and as a result were not approved by the commission. The 2nd pair were approved but Floyd still wasnt satisfied.

Ask Floyd becasue according to him the gloves are the reason why Maidana was putting a hurting on all his past opponents.

Mayweather is the A side, he's going to make all the demands and you better meet them if you want the fight.

I don't have an issue with it, I just don't like the way it was done. All of that should have been dealt with in the contract, not moments before the fight.

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.

Lmfao at everyone thinking the gloves will be the difference. There will be no difference. Maybe an extra bruise on Floyd's face? Big deal!

so then why is floyd making a big deal out of it if its not about the gloves??

Demands during negotiations yes! He hold all the marbles. He doesnt have the power to pull out of a fight an hour before with a packed stadium though. He would have faced some serious repurcussions and lawsuits. But hey, he bribed Maidana and they took the bait. This is why I say team Maidana gave up every right to cry about it afterwards. Had they stuck to thier guns with an hour till showtime, Floyd would have had to fight in Maidanas commission approved gloves.
