Sounds like a straight up ***** move by Floyd. That being said, the fight is not in jeopardy. No way Maidana is gonna walk away and fight someone else for relative peanuts just because he can't wear the gloves he wants.
Anything to up the poor paid attendance for this "fight".It just is not drawing like they hoped it would.
It was for Cotto and Cotto pussied out wanting the HEAVIER padded gloves. To be fair, the division norm was 10oz gloves. Still, Floyd wanted to fight Cotto with the lighter gloves that Pac/Cotto fought with.
Then comes Maidana needs to leave Robert Garcia before the fight can happen It's an endless list of whining and crying when it comes to Mayweather
its bs. obviously the fight isnt selling as they want. fat dan says fight wont be stopped because of floyd teams concern over gloves being used.
I think Floyd would be more comfortable with Maidana wearing these gloves http://www.amazon.com/Title-Boxing-TITLE-Inflatable-Gloves/dp/B00115J1ZS?tag=m1w2-20
so Floyd wanted 8oz gloves against Cotto @ 154 for the KO power :good:deal but when he fought Canelo @ 154 he wanted 10 oz gloves which was fought @ 152 :rofl:rofl:rofl before you reply, let me quote Dough Fischer in advanced: "...it's the hypocrisy of Floyd's fans thats funny..." :hey
Steve Kim ‏@stevemaxboxing 1m What's ironic about this whole thing is, no matter what gloves Maidana wears, he may not touch Mayweather much with them #boxing #theMoment
Missed that, my apologies. I wish you luck, valiant knight, as you continue on your quest to defend Floyd's honour.
