    Seriously this is getting out of hand. I know controversy sells and all but Floyd is actually hurting boxing with the things he is saying and the precedent they are setting. Listen to what Ellerbe says here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzgN310On6k beginning at the 0:43, he says that "what they are doing will set the precedent to BAN gloves that use horse hair." What the hell could those glove companies sue them for what they are saying. He is basically implying that the brand they use should be the only legal brand.

    I can just imagine future boxing stars complaining about every single posible thing they can complain about. "Oh those shoes should be illegal because they provide extra bounce" etc

    Move on man, you are pathetic.
    Is Floyd an idiot? Absolutely!
    Are you an internet tough guy that calls great boxers cowards? Absolutely!
    Pacquiao should be ashamed to have assholes like you as fans.

    This is vintage mayweather and ellerbe. This highlights what a primadonna diva they are and they want to overrule the commission. That's the reason why the Pacquiao fight never happened and Mayweather is to blame for constantly trying to create new rules when commission approved everything

    I'm not a Floyd fan so I'm certainly not here to defend him, but I just don't see what the big deal is. Floyd has no reason to fear maidana, he's fought much better. I think he legit believes these gloves are dangerous and wrong.

    Then the commission needs to grow a pair and tell Floyd to eat it.

    OK, what's the BIG F/N deal about Madaina using the same gloves as Roid.

    Who f/n cares.

    You got Ellerbe taking credit for disapproving the gloves, whne it was Roid himself said it first.

    This is just more publicity for Eelerbe who is just **** in the wind of this sport.

    F him and f everything he says. It's all ****....drink it up if you like. :nono

    basically ya....

    its kind of sad to watch a bunch of supposed "grown" men whine and complain about stuff like this...its bad enough theyve been complaining about the actual fight itself for awhile now.....we have a bunch of warriors in here who press the action and always go for the ko....
