It sounds very promising. I expect an announcement this week.

There was nothing wrong with Maidana's original gloves. If they were tampered with Maidana and his team would have been fined and suspended.


Floyd was just throwing a sissy fit again.

Slow guy custom pair U could move horsehair around that's why the didn't get approved the second pair of Cletos which wasn't custom got approved but floyd had already said f that

Hectari don't fall for the bait man you of all people know gloves are always agreed upon in contract people keep bringing up glove issue only because of maidana fight which could of ended up like first marg vs cotto fight the horsehair in the custom pair he had could be moved around and be all knuckles plus wraps on hands if anyone been in gym knows tightens and hardens when wet thus would be like getting hit with bricks then again people would of like to floyd opponent plaster they gloves up and knock his head off

Please tell me why you think gloves are always in the contract? They can be, of course, like anything. But they usually aren't. Why do u think there was such an issue with Mayweather v Maidana the day bf fight - bc it wasn't in the contract.
I'm telling u- I've worked on 3 major ppv fights, numerous HBO fights.
What your saying isn't true

They are agreed upon in a sanction fight with belts on line

No they're not. Only the size is always in the contract. 8 Oz or 10 oz, the type arte not

That has absolutely no relevancy to what I said.

That does have relevancy because it destroys your credibility, if you said that about Pacquiao with no proof or facts, yet question someone to bring up proof or facts it means you are a unfair, unethical, super biased, delusional and not credible.

Is this Sarcasm?

Is this Sarcasm?

No, not at all. I believe the fight is close to a done deal and will be announced in a week or so.

I am quite curious about the custom gloves that Mayweather refused. He ended forcing Maidana to wear the pillow gloves, but I wonder if Floyd had a point there.

Cuz Maidana didn't seem to one hurt Mayweather at all. According to Floyd, Chino was cheating all those times. Less padding is a serious accusation. If true Chine should be banned and stripped of all his winnings.

Regardless, Pac is never going to wear those Mx reyes. What he did to Maidana he will obviously do to Pac. Why would these dangerous gloves magically be okay on Pac? Obviously all of team Pac, and Pac himself knew Floyd was bound to force his own gloves on Pac.

fight is not getting announce this week or next week. fight wont even be in may!! it took these 2, 5-6 years trying to work out a deal with no luck and u want me to believe that they finally worked it out over a few meetings in less than a month? and floyd is already looking to go on a mini vacation? that doesnt sound like the fight is close to being made.

The gloves was in contract for the first fight I believe the issue came up for first floyd maidana fight over the custom pair maidana wanted to use the horsehair could easily be moved around knuckle area yes it doesn't have to be in contract but I'm pretty sure all championships fights the gloves are agreed upon especially since margocheat situation
