    Mayweather will come at 147 and Manny will compromise on 10 oz gloves. Simple

    C'mon man, use some common sense here. You know what, **** it. You can believe whatever fairy tales that you want. If want to believe that Mayweather requested that the fight be at 154 when he doesn't even fight in that weight class, or that he requested a 25 foot ring which isn't even allowed in Vegas, or that he asked for 10 oz. gloves even though he doesn't like them, be my guest. At the end of the day, the fight will take place at 147, inside a 20 foot ring, with 8 oz. gloves.

    Why?

    Floyd is clearly the weaker fighter if anyone should want to the fight to be at a lighter weight its floyd. Manny should agree to 154 and demand light gloves and a small ring.

    So many people still doubting Roach after time and time again he keeps proving you all wrong.

    Roach is clearly full of ****. He's already made mutliple statements that he shown to be inaccurate in regards to this fight.

    Why are you even commenting if you don't know what you're talking about? Any fight over 147 lbs, the fighters have to wear 10 oz. gloves. It doesn't matter though, the fight will happen at 147 lbs.

    He was going to fight Foreman, so what's the big deal?

    Either way, this is most likely bull****.

    You want to compare the many times Roach is full of **** to the many times Floyd is full of ****?

    d) Contestants in all weight categories up to, and including 147 lbs, shall use eight-ounce gloves. In heavier classes, they may wear ten-ounce gloves. Female contestants may wear 10-ounce gloves.

    It applies to Texas and probably every other state as well.
