[DJ OxXx]

"Athletes (boxers/kick boxers) weighing-in up to and including 135 pounds must wear 8 oz gloves in competition, while athletes weighing-in over 135 pounds (junior welterweight class and above) must wear 10 oz gloves in competition.* However, athletes weighing-in over 135 but no more than 147 may wear 8 oz gloves in competition if both athletes agree to do so in writing on their bout agreement(contract)."



Can't wear 8oz for any fight above 147.

Read the damn rules. They can wear 8oz for the 140/147 divisions if they come to an agreement. NOT 154, they have to wear 10oz. FFS.

Either they got the Nevada boxing commission to agree, or this is Mayweather reflecting blame to them, 'sorry, they won't allow it.'

A) This was planned all along to hype the fight. OR B) Pauli reported to mayweathers camp that McGregor can't lay a glove on him, and (correct me if I'm wrong), but I heard ticket sales are slow, and mayweather was asked by Showtime to do this to increase interest.

8 oz it's a default size for <147 idiot

The rules also state a 0-0 fighter should never be sanctioned against someone who is 49-0. So
