Floyd wants these gloves banned, I'm not exaggerating, he literally wants these gloves banned from the sport. :-( He thinks, and this is a FACT, that the gloves are dangerous :deal simply because they mould around the knuckles during use, and allow a fighter to hit harder :fire Perish the thought TMT have stated in their CONTRACT that Manny must NOT wear these horsehair wrecking *****. Pacs team said "f**k it" and managed to sneak them past the commission and they've been approved for use tonight. Now, this MUST be having a major impact on Floyds mental state. The toughest, most relentless and destructive fighter he has ever come up against is wearing gloves Floyd thinks should be banned? Not only that, he and his team have been made to look amateurish for not safeguarding their fighter. Thoughts?
:nono http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/i...enge-manny-pacquiao-preapproved-gloves-denied This is a significant development in the fight imo.
Well, this is Pacquiao we're talking about, not your ordinary B-side fighter. Ain't no damn way Freddy and the Pacquiao camp will let the Mayweather camp bully them over glove selection like they did with Maidana.
Does he have something against it because it's the Kentucky Derby day on the same day as his big parade?
I guess we'll see after the fight -- what kind of effect it had. I will be here to bump this little thread for ya.
Bob Arum is a lawyer, he knows what he's doing. He definitely saw what the TMT team was trying to do in the contract and saw the contradiction. Floyd doesnt like Arum because Arum takes Floyd to school in each business interaction.
Those horse hair Reyey rock. If you punch often enough,the padding moves around your knukles and you´re basically hitting your opponent with BARE FISTS!
It's good to see Floyd not just get his way on everything because he's Floyd. If Floyd loses he better not try to make a fuss about this.
