Gloves? De La Hoya wanted Reyes brand, the "puncher's glove." Even though Mayweather always wears Winning brand, which better protects his brittle hands, he agreed.
"I can't wear the gloves I want to wear, but he can wear the gloves he wants to wear, so he said, 'Let's put that in the contract.' So I said, 'OK, no problem.'"
Then there was the weight. Mayweather preferred to fight at welterweight (147 pounds), where he is champion. De La Hoya, who holds a title at junior middleweight (154) insisted that Mayweather come up to his weight. Again, Mayweather agreed.
Dude just agreed and went out an won...Maidana quit crying and go out and win.
Did that happen on the Friday night before the fight? Because if it didn't, it's not the same thing.
