PBF - Hatton: 10oz gloves @ 147

Ring Master · Oct 26, 2007

So how do you guys think it will affect the fight? Will it affect Huggy bears body punching? Do you think these gloves look a lil to big for him?

I wanna hug when you say hello
I wanna hug when it's time to go
I wanna hug because everyone knows
Hugging is good for you
I wanna hug, it's a wonderful feeling
Wanna hug, it helps with (it's part of) the healing
Wanna hug, because hugging feels
Like a natural thing to do

Seriously though, I think the bigger gloves help Floyd - that's why they are using them. Man, this guy is making sure he has every advantage in the world! He choses the venue, the ring size, glove size, judges, ref, even gets the larger share of the tickets (to keep the Brits away). Floyd's promotional company is setting him up for a can't lose situation! Seriously, does Hatton and his people get any say?

Sounds like Oscars say on Cinco De Mayo

You know The N.S.A.C mandates that all fighters @ 147 now wear 10 oz gloves. It has nothing to do with Floyd. I think it is harder to get the bigger gloves in on close quarters when body punching.

I wanna RUN when it's time to fight,
I wanna RUN, backwards, in fright,
I wanna RUN because everyone knows,
I like to RUN and use my elbows.

I wanna RUN, it's a wonderful feeling,
Wanna RUN, though it's not too appealing,
When I RUN, the crowd says it's a drag,
But I do it anyway 'cause I'm a ***.

signed,

"Pretty Boy" (wink, wink) Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Nope. It's the NSAC idiot. Floyd has done none of the things Oscar demanded when he fought Floyd, Hatton can wear his gloves of choice but by NSAC rule they must be 10 oz. to fight at Welterweight. Golden Boy chose the venue. Ring size again....MANDATED BY THE NSAC...Oscar couldnt even pull that **** with Floyd.

You're an idiot.

Ha! Yeah...

And you're right - I forgot about the NSAC's new rule regarding the 10 oz gloves. It's a stupid ****ing rule! Anyway, it definitely serves to benefit Mayweather, which is why he wanted the fight in Vegas (obviously his peopel thought about the rule when making the choice). If this fight was on the east coast it would draw more Brittish fans and it wouldn't be in Floyd's adopted backyard so the judging wouldn't be as favored for him.

I just wish they woud have done this fight at a stadium or something b/c they probably could have done a crowd of over 20,000 easy - and at least half would have come from the UK to see Hatton

and in Las Vegas ticket PRICES are more than double. It's the gambling capital of the world, and the modern mecca of boxing. Quit whining, and just enjoy the fight. Ringside seats in Vegas? I can fly to the UK and buy Ringside tickets to Calzaghe - Kessler and still be only a few hundred more than Mayweather - Hatton ringside. Again...you're an idiot. Learn the business.

How does it benefit Floyd ? 10oz pretty ****ing small for guy who will weigh in at about 150, yet I heard no such complaint when Oscar made his with floyd a Handicaped in his favor.

me and my shorty do that all the time, improvise on lyrics from songs in a humours way.

i think it should have been at the Thomas & mack arena. i think GBP really blew this one in terms of the live gate. Your correct about the crowd.

**** you! I'm no ****ing idiot man! I know the biz of boxing ****ball and unfortunately it's RUINING the sport for casual fans! It shouldn't be about dollar signs cocksucker, it should be about PUTTING BUTTS IN THE ****ING SEATS! These promotional companies (Floyd's, or whoever else's) should be more concerned about having their event be viewed by the most people, instead of getting the most money (having the highest ticket prices)...

Sure, Floyd's people don't control the 10 oz glove rule, but they KNEW that was in the rule in Vegas and that's one of the reasons they wanted the fight there! They also knew it was Floyd's backyard where they could get more favorable jduging and crowd support (because outside of Vegas nobody gives a flying **** about Floyd) and they knew they could charge up the ticket prices at the casino and what not to get more profits. It's ****ing greed and it's ****ing doing everything in their power to control the outcome of the fight - it pisses me off!

I have a right to a ****ing opion ******* so **** off!

When I see Floyd fight MIiguel Cotto during the Puerto Rican day parade in the Garden with 8 ouncers I'll be the first to give him his due props. In this situation - his people are controlling EVERYTHING and they are just trying to make the most money in the shortest time with the smallest risk - Im' over it! Why don't these ****s make the tickets cheaper and pack 20K+ into a stadium and have it on free HBO? They wouldn't make as much, but they'd still make millions AND they'd bring new fans to the sport.

it doesnt matter, Floyd forced that rule to go through before he could fight Hatton...thats why the fights been delayed a couple years, not because Hatton said he wasnt ready.

The fact that Mayweather wanted the fight at 147 lbs and Hatton wanted it at 140 lbs, could speak very much to the fact that Mayweather may have been thinking glove size.

Both of these guys I believe could still make 140 lbs, and it would be a fight where both might be sharper at.
....but I dont think its any secret that the higher weight and thus bigger gloves, benefits the quicker, faster, and more skilled fighter.

By making this fight at 147 lbs, Mayweather did have his say on glove size!
