I remember reading it somewhere, but there is no official source. The backup pair was approved by commission and both sides were suppose to work out the dispute themselves. Considering this all happened a day before the fight, the only logical solution is to throw money at it, and there wouldn't be any public announcement cause it would sound worse than it was. this link says gloves were approved by commission, http://msn.foxsports.com/boxing/sto...-gloves-dispute-richard-schaefer-fight-050314
No, he objected to the blue gloves and the NSAC deemed them unacceptable. He then objected to the red pair, but the NSAC said they were fine. Mayweather had no legal grounds to take away his choice to wear the red ones.
Perhaps they did pay him to wear another pair. They certainly couldn't force him to under the rules and they sure as hell weren't going to walk away from the fight. Maidana's team knew this, too, because they were talking about filing a lawsuit if Mayweather tried to walk over the gloves.
Stop crying and whining like a little bytch. It's not the suit that makes the man. It's the man that makes the suit. Even if Maidana had his custom rabbit punching gloves he wouldn't have a chance to win against Mayweather. Mayweather just showed concern about taking too many punches with light gloves to the back of the head where 40% of Maidana's wild ass punches tend to land.
That a-side, b-side statement kinda makes sense. Why not exercise that if you have the right? Maximizing his business every possible way he can..
Nah. If what you are saying is true, Floyd should have allowed Maidana to use red Everlast MX gloves. These were approved by the NSAC. He did not even allowed reyes gloves. The truth is,Floyd is a pu$$y.
what power does marcos have over floyd please, to negotiate? who dictated to leonard & mike trainer, even arum & king could not do that!!!
Mayweather biggest diva in the sport, what's next... Mayweather chooses which panties Maidana is wearing?
except floyd did pull a fast one. despite the all-clear from the commission, he stopped maidana using his preferred model of glove.
Yeah even the *****s can't defend this one like they tried to defend the whole catchweight BS vs Canelo.
and then floyd rejected the gloves passed by the commission - so go **** yourself you ****ing idiot **** for brains.
