    How would you feel just 24 hours before the weigh-in for Cotto/Pac it was revealed the fight would be at a catchweight and Cotto already agreed to it?

    Look at all the hate and backlash Pacquiao took leading up to the fight calling him the 'catchweight king'.

    How about for Leonard/Hagler if we didnt know anything about the stipulations made in that fight until 24 hours prior?

    If this information was already in the contract when it was signed so be it, but it was kept secret from the public until now just to save face for PBF, which is a scumbag move.

    drug-testing, lopsided purse split, rematch clause and now we find out gloves. :-(

    I read the article. You are right, according to the article it seem that Mosley has the choice. This would come as a surprise. Shane used to wear Reyes and that is a puncher's gloves, I don't know why he would wear Grant for tonight.

    You just got exposed and you still in denial.:-(

    QUOTE FROM ESPN SOURCE

    Mayweather, as per his recent custom, will be wearing Grant gloves. As for Mosley, he hasn't decided yet (like most boxers, he isn't signed to an exclusive brand contract), and it may end up being a fight-time decision.

    Calm down dude :lol:. You are taking this stuff too serious, exposed, big words...

    It seems that I was not right and that Shane has a choice, no big deal for me. As he usually wears Reyesand it worked well for him in the past, I dont understand why he has gone away for it tonight.

    He sold out, if he has been wearing them for his entire training camp then he already made his decision from the get-go.

    You're telling me to calm down when you are presented with Factual information.

    But then you was the one who posted a bull**** source and said IT'S TRUE.

    Who really should calm down?

    He used to wear Everlast's, then switched to Reyes' in recent years. Everlast were trying to get him to where there gloves again, and for whatever reason he's decided to wear Grant's. That does not stipulate anywhere that Floyd made him wear Grant's, he had a choice. Why he chose them I don't know - probably money as bladerunner said - but he had the choice. Now stop crying.

    His source wasnt bull****, it factually stated both fighter's will wear Grant gloves for tonight's fight.

    Calm down, save all that energy for tonight. :yep
