    If I was Maidana I would play chicken with Floyd and I GUARANTEE you Floyd would blink first. Wear your gloves, dare him to cancel the bout.

      Just be an adult. Your issue isn't with the gloves, its with floyd's power. Thats ok if you hate it that floyd uses his power in this fashion. Just don't pretend its about glove choice because if it truly was, you would have raised the issue before.
      But but DLH did it to Floyd doe. So...? It was in contract, and Two wrongs don't make a right either

        This thread is hilarious. Any of you who follow boxing know glove choice has been something A sides have done for years. yet none of you said jack **** about it. Now, its a huge issue.

        Just be adults-you don't like that floyd has power and money and uses it to get what he wants. WHen ODH or Manny did/do the same thing you f@gs don't say a ****ing word.

        Just deal with it and move on. Plenty of fighters have won fights without wearing "their" gloves. Plenty of fighters have taken extra money to not wear "their" gloves.

          Agreed. 2 wrongs don't make a right. did you call it wrong then and ***** about? No.

          SO why ***** about it now-unless the issue isn't glove choice but floyd's power.

            So what's the update with the gloves? It's worrying neither Maidana or Garcia know. Surely they would have been involved first hand with the negotiations?

            Anyway, Floyd should let Maidana wear his gloves. I know it's not something new for the A-side to chose their opponents gloves but it's still not right.

              Its funny how you come in here with your fake persona trying to act all civilized then start name calling people. Glove choice has been going on for years but refresh my mind and tell me when in history has an A side come at the last minute whining about a pair of gloves then b*tches again about the gloves that the commission approved. And if that wasnt enough, he pays the other fighter off to wear a completely different pair of gloves.

              Refresh our minds Dunn. When has this ever happened before?

                There was a report or something that someone posted of Ellerbe saying Maidana will not be allowed to wear horse hair gloves.

                  So Maidana can only win with his special gloves?

                    How am I not being civilized. You know what the issue posters have is-yet they try to mask it by making it about "glove choice".

                    I can't remember when the last time glove choice was an issue at such a late stage in the fight. I can't remember when an amount this high was allegedly paid to get someone to wear gloves. I have listed-as have others-fights where a sides have chosen gloves.

                    If your issue is timing, fine. If your issue is floyd flexing his power like an unstable, childish egomaniac-fine. Just say that and be done.

                      First of all stop assuming what my issue is. You're wrong.

                      Does Tiger Woods choose his opponents' golf clubs? Do tennis players choose their opponents' rackets? No and no.

                      Maidana is used to the MX gloves. He prefers them.

                      Gloves make a big difference. Why is there a guy in his house making $500 kitchen knives? Because that little, tiny difference matters big time. Why do some pool sticks cost $60,000? Because that little difference matters when it comes to performance. Are you really that special needs? Surely you can comprehend this.

                      Mayweather is Nerfing Maidana. Handicapping him badly. Paying him off. Boxing is a joke. Why force your opponent to wear gloves he never used before? He had to grease his hand just so they could fit. And Maidana still kicked his ass. Earthed that nlgga.

                      This fight means nothing, because he is not fighting Maidana at his best. That TBE shit is bullshlt. Anyone who believes that is a ******. This is Manny Pacquiao's era. Mayweather is a crook.
