Dude should get on his knees and blow Mayweather for the money he is getting paid. Just wear the standard why would he want different gloves its kinda silly. I don't care for Mayweather but when he had to bend down and take it to get a fight with Oscar he did so tough shit for the other guy.
My opinion is that this is a prefabricated stunt to drum up some last-minute interest/press in a fight that was doomed to pale in comparison to Mayweather's showdown with Canelo.
IDK man. Floyd wears pillows. If he's forced to wear Floyds style that nearly kills any intrigue the fight has. The first pair was bunk but Maidana should be allowed to wear a different pair of Everlast. If Floyd didn't like that he should have put it in the contract. At least then Marcos could have prepared for what he would be working with. I'll join the critics if Marcos is really forced to wear Floyds style of Grants. But I highly doubt it comes to that.Quote:

Second off all grouping all Latin American fighters as one entity is ignorant. Argentina and Puerto Rican fighters are nothing alike. Grouping (Mayweather) American black fighters with african fighters is just as stupid. This just goes to show you stupidity is still rampant from a Donald Sterling wanna be poster and that Pac fans may wear the crown for most stupid but Floyd fans are right behind. The contract is already created and signed. The two gloves are approved by the commission not only is Floyd acting like a big pussy but a Big Stinky Diana Ross fro like pussy with chlamydia . In addition the gloves are examined again just before the fight. Know your boxing before you post emotional nut hugging responses!!!Quote:

He's getting the biggest pay day of his life (8 million) so just shut the fuck up, does as your told, because Mayweather is running he show and get the fight on. Everyone needs to chill.
The fight WILL happen and the only mistake Maidana made is signing for the fight in the first place because to me, he has two chances, slim and none...........and slim just left town. Say what you want about Floyd Mayweather, he may have made a lot of mistakes out of the ring, but he's never made any in it.
All promotional for late PPV $$$$. Whether Maidana is part of it is irrelevant. Money always pulls this crap to gather more PPV and to disrupt opponents plans. Smart but bitch tendenciesQuote:

And Floyd saying "just wear the shit we brought" or something like that is unbelievable after that show. Oh yeah I forgot it was all just a head game right?
Floyd sounded like a baby but he had a point. Those gloves were custom made in Mexico. Most likely in a Cleto Reyes factory where they changed nothing but the cover and lettering. They make Levi 501's in Mexico also. Complete with red tag and Strauss markings. They are not Levi's. I think Maidana orchestrated this not Mayweather. I think Floyd got played. And again Maidana should now go for Reyes and flat out refuse to wear Grants.
They have cleared it up and Marcos will be wearing Everlast. Nobody is sure if he'll wear a different pair of Everlast MX which they had the issue with or a different type of Everlast. I like your idea. If you don't like my Everlasts I'll wear punchers gloves what now haha. Oddly I've come to the conclusion since everyone except Ellerbe acted understanding and fair that this was genuine. Floyd stutters when he has to think. I think it was bad gloves, Garcia didn't know anything going in it just happened and was resolved.Quote:

I suppose since the idea this issue was genuine is probably not the norm I'll explain my reasoning.
Everyone except Ellerbe was reasonable. And Ellerbe is paid to not be reasonable in such a scenario.
Floyd stutters if he has to think and he wasn't stuttering so his reaction feels genuine.
Most importantly they didn't push the "fight off/fight on" stuff to ESPN to grab headlines If it's a sales strategy you push it to every media. As is only true fans have any idea and you don't market to us.
What does made in Mexico have to do with anything if they are accepted by the commission. What is the country of actual mfg origin of all Everlast and Grant Gloves. Boxing is a global not just a USA sport.Quote:

I really loved your recommendation to just use Reyes gloves
The good thing is, they found this out with the gloves before the game, can you imagine what would happend if this was found out after teh game.
I hate these cheap publicity stunts, it makes me feel the whole fight is in for a fix.
