Health. Comes. First.

That's the bottom line. "Ain't no padding in the gloves! No wonder everybody dying."

I don't even wanna watch the damn fight now. This is bull****. Chino will take whatever money too just to get the fight made but how can Floyd look himself in the mirror after doing this again??? That dude has baby nuts for real!!! Two pound CW vs Canelo, paid off Chino to wear gloves of his choice even the gloves Maidana had originally were legal. Now he does this again.... Pathetic.

Just like every Mayweather PPV, not buying it. This guy is a joke and can't wait for him to retire.

No horse hair gloves. Wtf type of bs is that?

For pacquiao he will be picking pacs trainers and diet. This dude is scared of maidanas power

Im side A dog, so its dougnuts and burgers for you until the fight.

While this is a pretty weak move by Floyd I think an important question is, why do gloves that actively give you an advantage in punching power exist in the first place?

Surely there's something wrong with that?

No, there's not. What they call "punchers" gloves are those that punchers preffer becuase you can deliver more punching power with them while gloves designed to absorb impact more are suited best for defensive boxers (you put a glove in front of you that absrobs more of the incoming blows) or for boxers that have weak hands adn are willing to trade some KO power just to spare and protect their hands a bit more.
In the end its simply forcing a huge disadvantage onto a boxer that is clearly offenisve such as Maidana. Its shameful and its a disgrace that such a thing is even allowed.

If they had come out and said it was a pride thing right away, that would be another story. Instead they treated us to a litany of excuses each dumber and more outlandish than the last. It was hilarious watching the pacfans have to defend a new lauaghably ****** position every other day back then. It wasn't until months later it was a "pride" thing.

In my opinion he is an obvious EPO user, in a gym known for training juiced fighters in the past. Just because a bunch of huge pacfans have spent the last four years spamming the internet agreeing with each other doesn't change the opinion of others. Look at TKO6, people are still arguing about it over 10 years later. Pacquiao forever tarnished his image to many by ducking the test, just like Floyd hurt his by not having the Pac fight.

I agree with you to a certain extant, especially what Arum said about random drug testing in that he thought it was crazy how usda can come and randomly drug test Pac whenever they wanted, and it should be a set date basically lol, but his performances really didn't change, didn't he just take Vada for the Rios fight? To me he looked the same.
