That irish monkey is fooked...

Floyd says the Hatton fight they wore 10 oz gloves, he said Oscar fight he was made to wear HW 10 oz gloves.

Lol they agreed to not use puncher's gloves? Why would Mcgregor "agree" to that? Just proves this fight is fixed. And Floyd even said "You can wear whatever brand you want, I want you to be comfortable," so wtf happened to that? #FixedFigvht

So does that mean the Maidana fight was also Fixed?? Delusional, don't pay for it then Son

bayless has only done 6 fights in floyds career lmfao... ******s always crying about something....

Yeah and every time he protected Floyd better then secret service does. Funny how LOTS of ppl feel this way. Floyd doesn't even need his help. I've show many, MANY photos of Bayless going above and beyond helping Floyd.

Byrd is WAY better ref. Then SHT bag Floyd Bayless. He lets them fight unlike Bayless who grabs the other boxer every time they even throw a punch at Floyd.

The numbers don't lie. Look at opponents compubox numbers in Floyd's fights with Floyd Bayless and then without...

He wants 8 because Conor was pretty vocal during the Press Tour about having to use 10oz gloves, Floyd gave him what he wanted. Now Conor, his camp, nor the MMA universe can say **** once this fight is over.

Like Floyd has ever cared about what people think. This is a guy who paid Maidana money to have different gloves, who doesn't care about stinking out fights, even the biggest money one of all time..

Mayweather has approved the glove because firstly, it is a marketing move. And secondly, maybe he (Floyd) truly is going for the knockout for once.

Yeah, but he still won't let him wear Reyes or horse hair gloves.

mayweather is the one who wants 8 oz gloves and he also wanted to fight at 154..... If he didnt want those 2 things they would not happen... Bayless got banned and mayweather hates that fat lazy crook tony weeks.. So robert byrd was the only option... Byrd is a regular visitor at floyds gym... He even works as a ref at floyds gym at some sparring matches to stay sharp lol.... All refs love floyd because he feeds the whole boxing world....

If Kenny Bayless was actually banned thats super shady. The boxers and their teams are not supposed to have a say in who officiates the match.

So 8 ounce gloves but not Reyes punchers gloves. However, if you're a powerful puncher the power should still be effectively felt by an opponent, even in Grant gloves or whichever ones. We'll see if Mayweather gets hurt if McGregor lands flush.

Yep.

This is Floyd we're talking about. The only reason he suggested the gloves is because he feels it's an advantage for him. Does anyone really believe he's doing it for anything other reason?

He knows this is a mismatch and 8oz gloves favours him.

Vegas saw the receipts, they are pulling every stop since the numbers are under performing.

my thoughts exactly, not too long ago there was a report published on here where the director or some s h i t representative from the NSAC commented that the rules clearly state that only 10 oz gloves will be used "for the safety of the fighters" and that under no circumstances, would approval for 8 oz be granted....but I guess "now they be panicking doe"
