Comments Thread For: Mayweather Agrees To Let McGregor Use 8-Ounce Gloves

[Mr.Fantastic]

Paulie snitched.

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

No it isn't moron. Over 135 is 10oz. If the fighters agree they can wear 8oz for 140 and 147 fights. I posted the rules ffs.

Someone hacked!

No that's only for the 140 and 147 divisions. Says it in the rules I posted. Mayweather was forced to use gloves chosen by De La Hoya, he wasn't allowed to choose the brand.

If the commission approves you can have any rule change... how do you think Floyd got Maidana's gloves banned... :

Dude would suck a black cack literally and brag to his friends that he isn't racist.

"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 gloves for fights over 147.

This is Pretty Boy Floyd talking not Money May.. I don't know if it's a good idea but he's got balls if it happens.

He didn't get the gloves banned. Mayweather paid him not to use them.

The gloves for the fight will be of 8 ounces from strawweight up to the welterweight and of 10 ounces from superwelter to heavyweight.

IDIOT

[aceventura]

i think you can if both boxers agree on it. I believe it's been done before.

Mayweather wanted to use eight ounce gloves for the 154 fight with de la hoya and de la hoya refused to let him. Mayweather still *****es about that.

mayweather doesnt ***** about that nearly as much as maidana and robert garcia do about wearing 8 oz lmao...
