Is anyone surprised Floyd is allowing Manny to wear his own choice of gloves?

    Floyd knows Pac won't get close enough to touch his chin. For all Floyd cares Pac could be bare knuckles.

    he doesn't want to be known for handicapping his opponents with their gloves that he did with maidana. doing it the second time most especially with his arch rival power punching pac will bring down more his boxing reputation on level playing field.

    Oh so he's only done it once before against a guy was caught trying to cheat with unpadded gloves? The gloves in question were custom made for him not some factory imperfections.

    That's hurting Floyd's reputation? What clown logic.

    Does Floyd get to use the Xylocaine hand injections?

    Mayweather did'nt like the way the padding was disbursed in Maidana's choice of gloves. Not enough padding on the knuckle area of the gloves. The padding was'nt disbursed properly on the gloves. I'm sure if Pacquiao's cleto reyes has minimal padding on the knuckle area, Mayweather will put up the same beef as would Fredericko Roach on Pacquiao's side.

    Because he can't dictate it in this instance. Imagine if he tried to pull that stunt on Pac and Pac refused therefore no fight, the whole world would see him for the chicken he is.

    Pac would have gladly changed gloves for 50% instead of 40%. Be real son. Floyd dictated plenty. That extra 10% amounts to tens of millions.

    And don't forget about your ban bet with me for May 2nd. Not that it matters, this site has become pure ****. I honestly don't even know why I bother posting here anymore. Habit I guess, don't want to find another boxing forum.

    It's no surprise if you understand how this fight came to be in the first place. Floyd was forced to take this fight by Showtime. He could not throw up his usual roadblocks, diva demands and tactics for weakening his opponents. Les Moonves gave Floyd and Al the ultimatum and they knew they had to follow the boss's orders.
