[The Big Dunn]

Mayweather revealed that he offered a 14-day cut-off date to Team Pacquiao, but it was rejected.

LOL, I guess that's what you have to go with since Manny refused the fight.

You should be more concerned about the next deep cut Bob's son in law finds derailing the fight.

and what is the standard cut off date???

Has this been an issue for you since then, or did it become an issue when Floyd made Maidana change before the last fight?

You do realize, that your boy made this quite controversial when he stated quite emphatically, to "put him in the same **** as me". In front of cameras no less.

Your boy creates these situations Mr. Dunn, by the bush league way he handles s**t, then fanboys like you will sit here and pass it off as standard operating procedure and reference de la hoya, srl, etc. When you know those guys didn't operate in this fashion

Nah, I'm good. Lol I don't really get into the PAC Floyd stuff too much. Floyd deaded any chance of the fight happening when he said PAC has to sign to TMT and give him some fights.

I said that 10 posts ago-the playing field is almost never "level" when the fight involves the top draw in the sport. the difference is we are in the social media age and Floyd is a social media whore.

And yet, you cry about needing extra testing for a level playing field. Foh.

When was the last time you seen the A-side fighter agreeing to a 50-50 split?

Calzaghe and Roy?

Games like Floyd is playing with Maidana have been going on for years. Don't forget Maidana did try to get some different gloves before Floyd went all diva on him. Anyway, I think you might be interested in a good history lesson regarding gloves. Check this out:

"Cassius split his glove on the seam near the thumb," Angelo Dundee later explained. "Actually, it happened in the first round. I spotted the tear and told him, 'Keep your hand closed.' I didn't want anyone to see it because everything was going our way. Then, at the end of the fourth round, he got nailed. So when he came back to the corner, I helped the split a little, pulled it to the side, and made the referee aware that there was a torn glove."

No back-up gloves were available and, after a brief delay, the fight resumed. " I don't know how much time that got us," Dundee acknowledged. "Maybe a minute, but it was enough. If we hadn't gotten the extra time, I don't know what would have happened. I think Cassius would have made it through, but we don't have to answer that question."

Funny how ya was real quiet like a mouse when the article came out about floyd/ariza "oh he didnt hire him doe"

And it did turn out that he didn't hire him. How did you get here from the gloves issue?
