the commission didn't refuse them. they had the normal amount of padding that an everlast mx glove in 8 oz would have. mayweather refused them. no two boxing gloves are alike, and both teams need to approve of the gloves before the fight. several pairs are brought to the arena by an everlast rep. from those, a pair must be selected.
floyd mayweather refused to fight against maidana in a set of everlast MX. several pairs were brought from the factory, and he refused them all. the commission approved every single pair. they came straight from the factory to the commission.
is everlast in on it? that's what you're suggesting, whether or not you're smart enough to understand what your line of rhetoric implies.
according to many sources, al haymon, who manages / advises both fighters, got chino a lot of extra money.
it was in the contract that maidana was going to use everlast gloves. floyd would have had to breach the contract not to fight. he'd probably have faked an injury in the dressing room.
