And so here we are fight night and yet another controversy has arrived, apperently Floyd jr's team does not approved of Marcos Maidana's gloves. check out the scene.
Robert Garcia says:
"We said how about those Reyes gloves, and they said ‘Nope.’ They didn’t approve of the Reyes. They were pushing for those Grant [gloves]. I don’t like Grant. My fighters never wear Grant. The contract says we can wear whatever gloves we wish…Ellerbe said ‘No fight.’ I said ‘Okay, no fight.’ So we walked out and said the fight’s off."
Trivia for you, Manny Pacquiao has always wear Reyes gloves.
But don't worry the fight will happen.
"Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer said he spoke to Mayweather advisor Al Haymon, who confirmed the bout is on. Schaefer said Mayweather will wear Grant gloves, while Maidana will fight in Everlast. Schaefer did not know specifically which brand of Everlast Maidana will wear, though the Nevada Athletic Commission had approved a stock pair of red Everlast MX gloves.
The commission on Friday had ruled that a pair of custom blue Everlast MX gloves were invalid and couldn't be worn. Mayweather claimed there was no padding in the knuckles of those gloves."
"Al assured me this is over and we're going forward with the fight," Schaefer said.
