August 17, 20179 yr Author Nevada commission approves lighter glove size for Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor The social media banter between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor has become a reality. The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) approved Wednesday a “one-time” waiver to allow Mayweather and McGregor to wear lighter gloves than boxing rules dictate for their Aug. 26 fight in Las Vegas. The motion passed unanimously to let the matchup be contested with 8-ounce gloves, rather than 10-ounce ones that the regulations state. The glove size argument started two weeks ago on Instagram when Mayweather posted that he wanted to give McGregor an advantage in the fight by reducing the glove size. McGregor, the UFC lightweight champion, wears 4-ounce gloves for MMA. McGregor responded that he didn’t really care either way what the size gloves were. Both Mayweather and McGregor had representatives go before the commission Wednesday and explain why their respective fighters wanted 8-ounce gloves instead of 10-ouncers. Both reps said neither fighter was concerned that it would be a risk.
August 18, 20179 yr If I wasn't working I'd pitch in with some buddies to watch it. That's what I'm going to try and do. I'm not paying $100 to watch it by myself but if I can get some people together I'll get it.
August 18, 20179 yr So who is paying to watch this fight? I'm getting it at my house and going to invite over a few buddies, everyone throws in a little $. I'd say we'll order some pizzas, have some beers, and maybe play some cards prior to the fight.
August 21, 20179 yr Last time I paid a few bucks with buddies to watch Mayweather " fight" it was a boring joke . Had to pad that dudes pocket
August 25, 20179 yr While I'd be pumped if Connor won, I fully expect Maywether to win. Why would undefeated take this fight if he didn't know he'd win. MONEY GRAB!!! By two guys who know how to make a buck and a bunch of idiots expecting anything other than a Maywether win. Celebs paying just to be seen. The Paquio(?) fight is all you need to know about this one
