Maidana not allowed to wear house hair gloves for rematch.

[Ruthless One]

OF COURSE HE DOES HE HAS TO FIGHT IN THEM... AND GET HIT BY THEM.. HE SHOULD CARE!!

None of the fans are taking punches so why do they care???

Mayweather made a scene and made a big deal out of them. It's that simple. Regardless of your opinion about whether Maidana should wear the gloves or not, Mayweather and Ellerbe made it into an issue, so boxing fans are giving their opinion about it. You don't need to be in a boxer in the ring to have an opinion about what's going on in boxing, right?

I can't believe people really care about the gloves this much

Why does Maidana need special gloves to beat Floyd? That's what I don't understand both guys wear the same gloves end of story. Floyd picks the gloves cause he brings the money period.

And also regardless of what anybody says if ANY fighter doesn't feel comfortable with the gloves his oppenet is using then he shouldn't be able to use them nobody else gets in ring nobody else has to fight or live with the side effects so really the only people who should care about the gloves are the fighters not the fans

Why does Maidana need special gloves to face Floyd? Um... wrong question bro, why does Mayweather need the special gloves in order to even fight the guy?

I love how Floyd get his own set of rules, it'd be like the Patriots making into the Superbowl against the Broncos. But, in order to play the game the Patriots get to pick which guys can tackle Brady because "The other guys hurt me too much..."

I got this from koncrete jungle(a boxing site) Facebook page

Nope Maidana will not be using the gloves that he wants in the Mayweather rematch. Leonard Ellerbe declined to discuss what the contracts for the rematch say as it relates to the gloves but added, "We have a document and if Maidana wants to talk about it, fine. They won't be using no horse hair gloves, but I don't want to get into specifics."

This is another ******ed post that will draw at least 200 comments from all the nitwits on this site who hate Mayweather.

If Maidana is as good as you clowns think he is, the gloves he wears won't matter. He would win the fight regardless. De La Hoya picked out Mayweather's gloves for him and Mayweather still beat him. There are three threads on this site right now about it and there will probably be another 100 on it before the bell rings for their second fight. The gloves controversy does nothing but give Pac worshippers and those who hate Mayweather something else to whine about.

1. Horse hair gloves are rarely used, if at all, anymore.

2. If Floyd who's the A-side and, more importantly, has had hand problems for most of his career, can't wear horse hair gloves, why should he let his opponent?

3. You're all a bunch of idiots.

1. You're an idiot

That's all from me.

Sorry Muh****a punches him in the back of the head and in the nuts all night long, now he's supposed let him do this in the gloves of his choosing?

Muh****a, please.

Floyd not letting a puncher use punchers gloves and Pacquio fighting a Friday night fighter... I don't know which one is more shameful. On the bright side at least Canelo is fighting Lara tonight.
