ESPN: Mayweather team challenged Pacquiao's Cleto-Reyes gloves

[DeadLikeMe]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Everlast of Mexico still makes horse hair gloves and likewise Cleto Reyes sells foam gloves in addition to their horse hair gloves.

Those are the MX Gloves.... the red ones that came out the package (factory) and floyd still said no fight if maidana uses those gloves. THOSE GLOVES ARE LEGAL!

Standard factory sealed Cleto-Reyes gloves that the commission approved and Mayweather agreed Pacquiao can wear in the contract.

Mayweather team tried to challenge them. After 5 hours of arguing, the Nevada state athletic commission denied his challenge.

Expect Roach to challenge Floyd's custom made weird gloves. Those haven't even been inspected by the commission yet. Diva

Roach already challenged May******* gloves

I dont think designer looking gloves should be allowed, the color should be solid not patterns.

anyway, Floyd is shook. nervous about gloves and cups. Imagine how shaken he's going to be when he finally steps into the ring.

Freddie Roach is "concerned" Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s camp may have deliberately withheld the fighter's gloves from the Nevada State Athletic Commission's inspection ahead of Saturday's battle with Manny Pacquiao.

Roach, who is training Pacquiao for the MGM Grand bout, detailed his thoughts on Thursday, per ESPN:

" I just asked the Commission if both gloves will be weighed. Their gloves are handmade by Grant and ours by Reyes. I just want to make sure the weight is fair, but his gloves haven't showed up yet.

Now his gloves haven't shown up yet and I want to know what they're made out of: half-horsehair, half-foam, full foam or all horsehair. I'm concerned about what they are made of"

Roach admits the Mayweather camp has shown similar intrigue toward Pacquiao's gloves, but that his team have already received the green light to proceed, reported by ESPN: "They are concerned with mine also so we've already tested mine but we haven't had the chance to test theirs yet and I'm looking forward to that."

Floyd Mayweather Sr. isn't impressed with Roach's comments and suggests talk over gloves is designed to hide Pacquiao's fear of stepping into the ring with his unbeaten son. ESPN reported his comments: "The gloves are not an issue because Manny has put on the same kind of gloves. Fear, that's all it is."

Mayweather is expected to favour using Grant gloves due to their emphasis on hand protection. He has suffered with hand problems in the past, but on Wednesday, David Mayo of MLive posted a notable interview with Bob Ware, who will look after Mayweather's moneymakers during the fight: "He doesn't have hand problems anymore," said Ware

According to those close to the situation, a contract exists between the two camps that states Mayweather will wear Grant-manufactured gloves, Pacquiao will wear Reyes gloves and neither set can be horse-hair-style boxing gloves.

The man won't even abide by a contract. He deserves this ass whooping

even his fans got the same attitude as him
always complain like a bi tch

Top Rank and Bob Arum won the battle regarding Gloves: Pacquaio gets to wear his REYES GLOVES
stop complain like a bi tch

I don't see how this is pertinent to Mayweather contesting Pacquiao's gloves. I thought glovegate was garbage on Team Mayweather's part the first time around, and it is garbage on Team Mayweather's part this time around. Everlast and Reyes both make foam and horsehair gloves, or at least they used to. So if it is contractually stipulated that both fighters are to wear foam gloves, one party might have grounds for a lawsuit if the other were to wear gloves padded with something other than foam.

[I Love Jesus!]

Im surprised the diva isn't refusing to fight over it.....

[Beater_of_ass]

I used to like Floyd in the ring, I consider constantly complaining about gloves and cups "in the ring." If you're the better man you should beat him no matter the cup or the gloves. His lack of testicles in just making this fight was sad, now it's just getting embarrassing to be even an appreciative fan.

you people are silly this is just a typical boxing game only old timers and people in boxing know about, it's just used to get into the opponent's head. Ofcourse they knew it was going to get denied, that's not the point. The point is to just throw opponent off balance mentally little by little leading up to the fight
