    if floyd had it in the contract no worries

    - the blue gloves were not approved by the commision after inspection
    - red gloves were also inspected and the commision APPROVED those

    garcia in the vid states, the contract states maidana can use whatever gloves he wishes (obviously aslong as they meet commission standards)

    seems like a no brainer then. maidana wears the red everlasts and mayweather needs to learn to put it in the contract if its such a big issue, the show must go on

    Surely he isn't trying to create an even playing field? The atrocity!!!

    P.S To the people moaning, how many of you have actually been smashed in the face with a pro glove. Not a sparring glove but an 8oz horse hair fight glove?

    Exactly why Mayweather and his team are amped! Maidana's team tried to pull a fast one.

    Oh shut the f#ck up you moron. If you can't deal with the possibility of being hit with a standard mexican style pro glove, then maybe you should not be a PRO BOXER of all things.:patsch
    He has faced the same damn gloves before ffs.

    Nobody is forcing him to be a boxer.
    He is free to get a normal job if he wants to.

    When you sign a contract to have a pro boxing match within the framework that ALL fighters have to operate within, you do that or you get sued and pay up. Simple as that.
    It's disrespectful to the sport.
    It's disrespectful to the other fighters.
    And it's disrespectful to the fans that pay huge sums to see him.

    No, fool....Mayweather fans will not accept this. This is all about "CASH"...and Mayweather wants to capitalize from all angles. I can't believe and i won't believe that the Mayweather's corner didn't catch this in there contract.

    I guess now, the *****s will be on a crusade to stop the use of puncher's gloves. :-(

    Won't be long before we hear the scientific theories as to why puncher's gloves are considered cheating.

    Pillow gloves from now on TMT. :-(

    he has a right to be mad but at his age he should be setting himself up for retirement... getting mad and calling off a fight that would net him god knows how many millions is absurd, he should realise this and just beat maidana in the ring over 12 or less.

    hopefully cooler heads will prevail, and im sure they will

    If the red gloves was approved, why mayweather still crying about it? He is scared, no wonder why he doesnt get the respects he deserves like the atgs in the past. Might as well retire. What a diva.:deal

    Wait in the vid, Garcia says Bumblebee and Floyd turned down the red Everlasts and the reyes. I'm sorry but that's some serious bs from their camp. Looking for a way out or what?

    Maidana tried to cheat, Leonard Ellerbe caught him.

    Maidana is such a shady fellow. Good grief.
