    Good on Manny, he was more than reasonable. he doesnt need a ducker like floyd, boxing doesnt need floyd.

    I will do you one better. The NSAC wanted 10oz gloves. Mayweather let Manny choose the 8oz!

    You are wrong. 10oz gloves are to be used unless both fighters agree. Mayweather let Manny decide this.

    According to this http://boxing.nv.gov/FAQ Folder/Gloves.pdf , both sizes are allowed. See snippets below:


    For contests or exhibitions of boxing, other than elimination boxing contests, and for contests or exhibitions of kickboxing, each unarmed combatant must wear gloves which weigh not less than 8 ounces and not more than 10 ounces, except that the Commission will set the weight of the gloves to be used in a championship contest. All gloves must have the distal portion of the thumb attached to the body of the glove so as to minimize the possibility of injury to an opponentÂ’s eye.

    Wrong. Here is a quote straight from Ellerbe's mouth:

    "there was no effort by Team Mayweather to have the fight at 154, to have a 22-foot ring, or to have 10-ounce gloves."

    http://www.doghouseboxing.com/Benz/DHBenz1213a09.htm

    So tell us again what concessions Mayweather's side made. You can't have it both ways.

    Mayweather was so worried about Pac that he let this **** slip away to Clottey. Take Hatton and get the **** outta here.

    Dude you are straight up wrong.

    http://boxing.nv.gov/New_FAQ.htm


    Question: What are the gloves sizes based on the boxer/kickboxer's weight?

    Answer: Athletes (boxers/kickboxers) 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 not more than 147 pounds may wear 8 ounce gloves in competition if both athletes agree to do so in writing.
    See that?

    so you want 10oz gloves?

    you want it at 154lbs lbs too?

    you think Floyd goes over 147lbs too??

    you think one deserves more other than a fifty/fifty split?

    your mindless rumblings don't matter anymore dude. The fight aint happening, wake up!

    If Floyd wants to fight, he typically builds his opponent up and belittle/discredit fighters others think is a threat. Can't you notice the obvious?

    Yeah they made no effort to argue the point, but the NSAC's website clearly states that:


    Question: What are the gloves sizes based on the boxer/kickboxer's weight?

    Answer: Athletes (boxers/kickboxers) 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.
